    Swinson is just another Tory, I'm ready to bet they'd jump into another coalition with the Tories in no time if they get the chance...

    How would Corbyn be an economic disaster?

    First will be, smoking the dope and ****ing the pope.

    Closely followed by, smoking the hash and singing the sash.


    Not sure what else at this moment in time.

    I’d disagree on the first point.


    Mainly for the reasons that I’ve already listed.

    The world has changed since the 1970s. His policies (well, in the last manifesto at least, we'll see what this one says), all make sense and in no way would be an economic disaster. I'm genuinely interested as to why people think so.

    PS: I'm not a Corbynista, I just don't want these ****ish Tories anywhere near power. Attacking Corbyn just gives them a free pass.

    Have you seen Swinson's voting record? She's been voting with the Tories constantly for the last few years (apart from Brexit)

    Brexit is the one word answer as to why that will not happen. This Tory Gvt are hardcore Brexiteers

    I could spend all day debating this with you. Suffice to say I remember the first ‘experiment’ with this philosophy. It was a disaster.

    We've had a Tory government for the last few decades (I don't count Blair as Labour). It's not worked out that great for most people tbph.

    Why not giving it a go? Actually having a government that tries to improve the lives of the many rather than the few? Would make a nice ****ing change. I'm happy to pay a bit more in tax if it helps the country turn itself around.

    I’m voting LibDem in the hope that they may hold the balance of power. It would help curb the worst excesses of whichever of the two main parties forms the Gvt.

    Plus I think it’s our best chance of forcing a people’s vote.

    The whole basis of their election manifesto is to revoke A50. You can’t get much more anti-Brexit.
