its all a bit tongue in cheek dude.Well, we know that's BS because Sinn Fein are abstentionists and will never take their seats in Westminster under any circumstances.

Still think this was interesting

Conservative MP Nigel Evans on the BBC - "This manifesto had too many dashes of arsenic, it was an assault on the people we were looking to vote for us. Theresa May carried out a 'triple assault' on our core voters - the elderly. Reneging on the triple lock, the winter fuel allowance and the dementia tax when it wasnt even necessary. it's been a disaster. We didn't shoot ourselves in the foot, we shot ourselves in the head."
Corbyn's manifesto was a pipe dream - I doubt he'd actually be able to deliver 5% of it - but at least it offered hope to people that things were going to get better. The Conservative manifesto is probably very sensible from a budgetary point of view, but not very inspiring. Like I said earlier, the British people have decided that they'd prefer politicians who lie to them and tell them everything's going to be OK, over honest ones who tell them of the necessary difficult decisions that must made.I'm by no means 'young', but I can totally understand why young people these days have had enough of being shafted. Housing, education, healthcare - do you really see these becoming more affordable for your average 21 year-old under May? Then throw in the fact that we've just voted to remove a big opportunity of jobs in Europe, etc and you'll start to see why the 'young vote' has gone in the direction of change.
Trying to pass young voters off as all being influenced by celebs and 'kool' is patronising to a level of stupidity. It's almost as bad as trying to claim that all Labour voters are work-shy benefit claimants.
its all a bit tongue in cheek dude.
For clarity I voted concervatives, I did so purely on brexit knowing full well a corbyn brexit will leave us bent over in Europe,
This is the thing i don't understand, she had to do **** all, all she had to do is re-release the 2015 manifesto and it was in the bag. Why the hell did she started to screw around with the core voters?
Such over-the-top imageryArrogance, this was her core sin and now she will pay the price. The 1922 will feed her to the pigs
Aye. It was all social media.
So we have a coalition government

The Brexit campaign winning certainly taught us that.Like I said earlier, the British people have decided that they'd prefer politicians who lie to them and tell them everything's going to be OK, over honest ones who tell them of the necessary difficult decisions that must made.

This is pretty much the whole thing g summed up. Times are hard, will be harder, that's the choice that was made. People seem to still think we can go on as usual when we can't, it's a new time and new challenges are here, that is what we should be looking at.Corbyn's manifesto was a pipe dream - I doubt he'd actually be able to deliver 5% of it - but at least it offered hope to people that things were going to get better.

So basically a draw, given the Lib Dems straddle both sides of the fence.
I'm surprised they didn't drop her the moment she got back from the Palace.
