Poll: Poll: Prime Minister Theresa May calls General Election on June 8th

[mmj_uk]

We might as well stay in the EU if we don't leave the single market, it's not like you can't access the single market if you aren't a member.

Many of the non-EU members who exploit the EU single market successfully do have one distinct advantage over us. Those who do not have any special trade arrangement with the EU, like the United States or Australia, do not pay any contribution to the EU budget. Non-EU countries do, of course, have to pay the external tariff to the EU. But Britain has to pay £8-£9 billion into the EU budget, the equivalent of a tariff of about 7 per cent on our goods. Our free access is not free access at all. Arguing for the single market on the grounds that you can avoid a 3 per cent tariff by actually paying 7 per cent fee is mis-selling on a scale that dwarfs the PPI scandal.

I won't be voting as all need to be overthrown except for the same minority, Parliament needs a massive shakeup.

cons where split and its a very different cabinet, they are going for a hard brexit which is not what anyone voted for as that wasn't on the ballot. it is also the opposite of what 48% wanted.

The wording of the referendum was too vague I agree. But the country voted leave. It was the decision of the people, not one party. By all means complain that the citizens of this nation sent the country down the wrong path and may ruin it's economy. By all means complain that the conservatives are ruining the economy for other reasons. But it was not the conservative party that forced brexit on UK.

 

[Glaucus]

But it was not the conservative party that forced brexit on UK.

no, but it is conservatives taking us down a single route of brexit which wasn't voted for and is the worse outcome so yes we can certainly blame them for that.

Looks like the ardent remainers have got their wish - there is no more "meaningful vote" than a general election, and now they have their chance to block UK independence. All they've got to do is convince the country to vote for a Labour-Liberal coalition party. Just think; Corbyn as PM with Farron as his deputy...

We will simply disagree then as we have different viewpoints on the matter.

That quote is complete and utter gibberish. You cannot treat the UK's contribution as equivalent to a tariff, it's completely different in operation.

Lets see.
The Tories are evil in physical form - I'll never vote for them.
Lib Dems are proven untrustworthy (remember 2010?). I also have no idea who the current leader is, yet I can remember all the ones before him since the '80s.
Labour are presently a joke. Corbyn only appeals to those on the far left, and everyone else hates him; even my brother, who's a member of the Labour party. At least when he loses he'll be forced to resign and Labour can start over.
UKIP have served their purpose and should disappear.
Greens - Nice ideals, but not realisable at the present time or even within a few decades time. If mankind ever evolves beyond greed and selfishness, they might stand a chance.

It won't matter how I vote. I'll probably decide when I see the ballot paper. This is about as strong a Labour seat as you can get, so my vote won't matter, but there are also a ton of old biggots/idiots who might vote UKIP, so you never know.

 

[Dis86]

Quick poll of folks I know gives the general consensus of 'Labour if it wasn't for corbyn'

 

[do_ron_ron]

Unlike labour and it's brilliant PFI scheme thats costing the nhs billions a year for the next few decades?

Oh you mean the Thatcher invention (PFI) that was first used by John Major. Nice try, shame about the facts.

 

[Fishbait]

I won't be voting as all need to be overthrown except for the same minority, Parliament needs a massive shakeup.

The obvious answer.

 

[Spook187]

No surprise with the vote on here, right wing clueless tory boys who have no idea about how real life is, don't come back moaning when you get so stiched up like a nana blanket.

 

[do_ron_ron]

So far OCUK polls have been more accurate than the ones we see from people like yougov (lol). So we'll see how it goes on the day

Really? This forum has always been right wing and I have been using this forum for many years(before the 2002 quoted - that was Big Bang 2) and if accurate the Tories would have had a sizable majority every election.

I'm thrilled that you're so terrified by this election, but there's really nothing to worry about. Labour has no chance of winning. Tories will take it by a landslide.

 

[Sankari]

I don't recall the Lib Dems saying they would never form government with the Tories, so what did they do in 2010 that proved they are untrustworthy?

 

[do_ron_ron]

So to bring about your aim ... you are going to do nothing ... I hope you don't apply that logic to the rest of your life.

but they wont because i bet they're all upper middle class....probably

Anybody who agrees that the people voted for a particular type of exit need only look at the myriad of TV articles or past 'Question Time' to see that what people were asking for was information and all they got were lies and spin.

I better start saving up for health insurance as it wont be long until the tory's are unchallenged
