    I hope that Frog woman Le Pen wins, just to piss off the cupcakes and snowflakes here.

    Yes, we are doom mongers: Even the quangocrats themselves admit their predictions for UK economy could well be 'too gloomy'

    2000 -£345 bn

    I don't think it will. He's widely regarded as having been a failure.

    That's a really strange comment to make Custard?
    Don't know a huge amount about, but from what I read she definitely worries me.

    The Office for Budget Responsibility has a history of mistakes. Here are five forecasts it got wrong:

    PREDICTION: An over-optimistic OBR predicted economic expansion of 5.7 per cent between 2010 and mid-2012

    REALITY: The country managed only 0.9 per cent

    PREDICTION: Switching to pessimism in March 2013, the OBR predicted growth that year of 0.6 per cent and 1.8 per cent in 2014

    REALITY: The figures were 1.9 per cent in 2013 and 3.1 per cent in 2014

    PREDICTION: Scottish nationalists based their rosy vision of an independent future on OBR oil revenue forecasts of £2.4billion in 2016-17

    REALITY: Prices crashed and this was revised down to £600m

    PREDICTION: In March 2013, the OBR said public borrowing would be £120bn in 2013-14, £108bn in 2014-15, and £95.5bn in 2015-16

    REALITY: The figures were £104bn, £96bn and £76bn respectively

    PREDICTION: In March 2014, the forecasters predicted inflation of 2 per cent in 2015 and in 2016

    REALITY: Inflation was 0 per cent last year and now stands at 0.9 per cent

    Do you really think there's going to be a different government in the next parliament? I certainly can't see Corbyn doing anything other than losing a lot of Commons seats.

    Oh I don't know. Given the projections for the faltering economy due to Brexit, I think people might delight in disposing of the Govt who led us into this black hole.

    I'm pretty sure I didn't say that at all.

    Policy number two I disagree with- the death penalty.

    Do you have enough knowledge on her yet to decide if you want her to win the election or will we be treated to another day of your hypocritical moaning?

    The Tories probably won't lose but I don't think another coalition is out of the question.

    If anything it's in the individual ministers' interests to lose if they can leave politics and make more money doing other things.

    Not really, so far you seem unclear on the difference between her policies on protectionism and border comntrols and those of the EU.

    As for the death penalty referendum that is in her policy. I think most would support a referendum, as it should end the debate. I'd accept the majority vedict.
