[datalol-jack]

'Every vote for the Conservatives will make me stronger!' haha!

 

[platypus]

Great. A complete decimation of the opposition and any credible means of restraining the Tories in leaving the EU and whatever other cuts they decide to rush through.

What a wonderful place this country is going to become .

 

[Abraxaz1]

I wonder if the under 25s are going to turn up and vote this time, instead of moaning about it later.

 

[AtreuS]

Just listened to her reasons, have to say i agree with her. We need an election for the people to have a say on this....

 

[Destination]

Can't wait for Labour to get absolutely wiped out

They won't, certain seats are 100% safe, even with the corbyn effect.
Lib dems wiped out before, everyone wiped out in Scotland, yet the actual election result was tight enough.

 

[jsmoke]

So it is a general election, only on 3g can't watch any live stream?

oh guaranteed they'll moan about it later, last time I checked you couldn't vote via facebook

Probably the best speech may has delivered.

Agree, everything v well explained, first say what is wrong, then say how we shall fix it.
I expect Norn Iron will return the same result we always do. A worthless one.

Labour had many chances to restore some balance, instead they prefer to shot themselves in the foot. I'm not really talking about Corbyn here either, he is fine for the most part, the same cant be said about many labour MPs

 

[datalol-jack]

Recently and reluctantly my hindquarters, May! Lord Ash gave you the figures and told you to jump, and you jumped for more power!

 

[Schlong&Stable]

Oh politicians

Circumstances change. Would you rather politicians stuck to things they said months or years ago just because...? I am glad she changed her mind. Now is the time to finish off Labour.

 

[LOAM]

Exactly, by the time 2020 comes along we will be holding the **** end of the stick, everyone will be poorer with further service cuts across the board and the Tories will be unpopular

listening to her I think it goes slightly further, they have a seat majority of only 17 and I think she's discovered that there is enough discontent in the back benches to disrupt it. If Corbyn agrees to this then he is INSANE.

The vain PM is already talking as though shes won it though.

I'm not saying they didn't, but they still have a sizeable opposition in seats. They are unlikely to have after an election.

You can strike me down Jeremy, but I will become more Iron that you can possibly imagine!

It's not Corbyn I'm worried about, it's the delusion in his staff team.

This is true. They had a fantastic option in David Miliband but instead he was stabbed in the back and just look at the muppet in charge now.

 

[Neil79]

I'm voting UKIP and if I decide otherwise nearer the time it would be the Greens.. This area is being destroyed but the current party and well I'll not vote this lot

She's Pregnant with Donald's Child and plans to declare war on the Scilly isles

So democracy is working then? If the general population lack confidence in labour they should have less seats. I don't think it neccessarily means more seats for the conservatives though, more likely a few here and there, with fringe parties rising up the ranks further.

I might have to vote Libdem with gritted teeth (depending on their policy) just in the hope the general public have the sense to teach both Labour and Conservatives a lesson.
