Does TM even have a mandate for her manifesto pledges?

yes/no/maybe

for UK wide policy DUP may prop them up
for England specific policy they are ****** because if the DUP come in on policy that has no bearing on NI but looks to massively impact say England there will be a riot

I find it interesting that a large number of people support spending increases to get out of debt.

Read some Keynes

 

[CapitalOne]

They won't care, logical thought escapes them.

Binary thought like this is such a waste. Consider the multiple reasons and motives behind everyones vote, some (people) are more complex than yourselves.

Oh and the Tory leadership has been a total joke since Cameron left I'm afraid, so they got what they deserved.

George Osbourne is laying into this with another article about money and decisions going from London to Belfast.


He must be loving this.

Labour have won Kensington apparently.

It's really not that radial. John Maynard Keynes talked about it almost 100 years ago, and it's been successfully implemented more than once, in multiple countries all around the world.

But keynes advocated public spending counter cyclicly in a depression/recession, not at a time when the economy is growing. He also advocated running a surplus during times of economic growth.

Looks like David Davis and Boris are working in the background to gather support in case a leadership contest is called.

I wanted a Boris PM in the first place, maybe this is for the best. The left hate him because despite him being a Tory rich posh boy, he's extremely popular. If he was PM instead of May he would have got the majority that May was looking for.

Well he probably wouldn't have put out that crazy manifesto. I wanted him as PM after the brexit ref.

May was asked what's the naughtiest thing she's ever done, and she said she used to run through fields of wheat with her friend, annoying the local farmers.
To be fair it's an awkward question to answer and I'd have said something equally as pathetic. Hardly going to come out with "railed coke off a fat bird's ****" are you?

Depends how you look at it... 'Running through the wheatfield' (and more common 'whistling' variants thereof) is a euphemism for cunnilingus, so perhaps May has been somewhat naughtier than you first thought!!

Wouldn't be the first time a "British Politician Sex" scandal has come out of a Conservative government... And since the next lyric was, "JFK, blown away, what else do I have to say?", perhaps it's a portent of what's yet to come? JBC? DJT?

Noooooo Crumpets are purely for slaty butter and lots of it, NOTHING else, this is the law.

See, I keep trying to tell this to all the people I know who do put Marmite on their crumpets, but they're chefs and insist they know better....
Then again, I always insist crumpets are for gays and luvvies only and since all the aforementioned are either one or both, I guess that's concurrent.

Aren't the Rail networks relatively profitable enterprises? I know that the German, Dutch and French National Rail companies that own large parts of our rail network get a fairly hefty amount of money from their ownership of them.

Certainly a lot of similarly privatised industries have become profitable, even though they're not supposed to be... many through mortgaging and asset-stripping.

I would also like to think that it could lead to a grown up discussion about the future of the country and public services, where what people actually want is talked about and they ways to get those things are also discussed.

Ah-hahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaa..... oh, sorry, you were being serious?
You do know these guys are politicians, right?

It seems that people want to put more money into the NHS and other public services, how we do this actually needs to be discussed

Not more money in, but better spend the existing funding.

He's popular amongst people who already vote Tory.

He wouldn't make a good leader. He's too gaff prone.

It's a product of the American political system and it's bleeding across into the UK sadly. It's much easier to brainwash people with rags like the Mail when you simplify the world down to Us vs The Lefties. A lot of morons lap it up still.

Statement from TM incoming apparently - as soon as the car gets back to number 10, she'll go straight to the statement, *apparently*

 

[LabR@t]

David Davis, Boris or Hammond?

 

[sprite1275]

Which party would you vote for if you want something for nothing?

I'm a single man on an above average income. No one offers me anything apart from pain and misery lol.

 

[Uther]

Speech from May... Deluded.

 

[Felon]

certainty? where the **** is that at?

 

[Stretch]

David Davis, Boris or Hammond?

Hammond has been very quite this election so at least he remains untainted. David Davis is the obvious choice, but he's too ideologically attached to Brexit principles to be the leader of a party who are still very divided over Europe.

Boris belongs in a Circus.

I actually feel Ruth Davidson would be a good shout if she were only and MP.
