    I think any coalition with the SNP would mean agreeing to a second independence referendum.

    I can't see either of the main parties agreeing to this. If there's a hung Parliament I can see another GE in October with Boris at the helm for the Cons.

    I think if Labour eat into the Cons small majority May will be ousted anyway which would make a mockery to everyone who's on social media declaring they've voted for May for PM.

    They're can't be many on social media backing May, it's all labour on my feeds. It's hard to put pro tory opinion on social media if you're under 30 as the backlash is mental. I presume it was the same if you wanted to keep scotland in the union.

    Yeah but that's different. There's no money, honest.

    OK there's a bit more for some companies that the tories have links to but that's all. There isn't a magic money tree you know.

    Oh and there's a few trillion for trident but seriously, no money for the country. Austerity is the only way.

    If it helps pre-election call the OECD were predicting that the U.K. will have the slowest growing economy of the G7 in 2018 (0.96%) & Canada will have the fastest growing (2.34%).

    A slow growing economy is probably the reason of lowest importance for not voting tory.

    It was a good idea, all Northern MP's should have a political will for it, we are under represented in the UK in comparison to say Scotland & Wales.

    Maybe but the successful models of Canada & Norway using similar anti-austerity measures that Labour are suggesting could be interpreted as the austerity measures failing the economy.

    They certainly pour scorn on the false claims that Labour's manifesto would bankrupt the country.

    An hour left of another hard day at work, lots of unhappy people because of another year without reward despite achieving well.

    Looking forward to voting for Labour on the way home and hoping for a change of course that prevents one or two people at the top of corporations swallowing all the gains.

    Redistribute.
