Remain supporters actually want what's best for Britain, which is why they voted remain
The vote for policies site based on more than 50K surveys currently shows:
Which is pretty crazy - won't unfold like that at the GE though but does tend to indicate the mood of the nation.
Saddens me that people think Corbyn is on their side though - either of the two most likely outcomes of this election I think people are in for a bit of a shock at the reality compared to their hopes.
If we ever meet I'll happily show you the error of your ways in posting uniformed (as you really are unlikely to know anything about my situation) rubbish like the above.
You may or may not be working, but let's not pretend the word class is appropriate.

And as someone that works in the "investement property" market I can tell you that you are full of crap.
6 Month rolling AST's are a recent thing, before that we had "sitting tennants" which no one would want in their property now. Even with a 6 month AST it takes missing nearly a year of missed rent before you can secure an eviction.
Congrats for spouting on a bout something you know nothing about. Tenants hold all the cards, I deal with it every day.
I think on the whole, people are just fed up up with endless austerity (whether we really have it of not) and the Tory party just promises more of the same. Now May has shown herself to be as weak as she really is, what's the point of voting for her. Frankly she deserves to lose just because of the arrogant way she has taken the public for granted.
You do seem a bit down on Corbyn, Rroff
In this election it's basically a choice between Labour or the Tories. Realistically the Greens, Lib Dems, etc, aren't in the running.
Corbyn is certainly the lesser of the two evils. Whatever your doubts about him, we pretty much know what May is about. And she's about turning this country into a police state tax haven run exclusively for the 1% club.
Corbyn simply cannot be worse.

3 kids, 1 Dad working at a quarry, 1 Mum at home looking after kids on a shoestring, outside toilet, no car makes me working class.
Having parents that gave a crap about me made me normal, not middle classs.

I was equally down on May earlier on but fortunately people have now seen through May
Corbyn is no way the lesser of two evils he is just as bad just in a different way.Yeah if it goes through the courts then it takes months. But most tenants are law-abiding, and if their landlord gives them notice to quit, they will abide by the law and move out.
I guess if you deal with people who stop paying rent and then refuse to leave until the police/baliffs force them out, that's another story. Most people will take their notice from the landlord and start looking for a new home...
And last time I looked at the law, via the .gov.uk website, the notice period was 30 days for any reason, and 14 days for special circumstances, such as the landlord moving back into the property.
That was probably last year when I looked.
e: OK "eviction" was entirely the wrong word, my bad. They can give you "notice to quit" with 30 days notice, and "eviction" process only begins if you refuse to move out within that period.
If you have to evict a lot of people you're obviously dealing with problem tenants.
Most reasonable people aren't going to force their landlord through the courts if he gives you notice that he wants you out.

One of them will be better for our country over the next term but the issue is we can't run both as PM side by side so we'll never know.
Well you either have May running the 1% club or Corbyn dragging everyone down in some hybrid version of socialism - neither is good for the country in about equal measure.
Twitter accounts can't vote, what's your point here?
Read the article.

I bet he will say that people are being manipulated into voting for someone because they sound popular
And that would be very ironic
I want to know your thoughts. I'll read the article if you quote it here because I don't subscribe to that paper.
I suspect at no point do they claim that this is a Labour Party initiative.
I don't care for ekke thump, outside loo, rolled up news paper, gravel for dinner northen chip rubbish. Assuming becoming homeless is majority related to a lack of familial love then, or lack of social housing is majority related to immigration now since and during the right to buy period, is the overtly Ill informed position, of a divvy.
I'd detail how as an extended family we dealt with the issue for me, but why that might not be viable for other's, but to be honest someone so stupid so as to not be able to imagine such a situation would have to have been, a) lucky to have enough family to indulge them so much they can't consider that not universal to all and b) so emotionally/intellectually dim so as not to grow/learn from such any detail.
As an ex teacher people who fill both category a and b are thankfully a small but annoyingly vocal minority.
But that's what May said in her speech today so it must be true!
And millions of people think the same about May, Boris and the other cretins. That's life. But I will tell you one thing, if by some miracle labour wins ( which they won't) I expect you and a few others on here to just shut up, not complain and accept the will of the people as we are a democracy.
