    Labour still a front for Momentum IMHO. That's how JC survived the PLP front-bench resignations and votes of no confidence. Tories making it incredibly hard to vote for them, though. I mean, fox-hunting in the manifesto at this moment in time? Honestly, I despair. I now believe the Tories and Labour are both a pile of ****e. Fortunately, a mate of mine is standing as an independent :)

    Ir the Tories win, RAW, it might just be because of that monumental waste of oxygen, Diane Abbott. Her only qualification seems to be having shagged JC back in the day...

    I think they'll win but they've allowed it to get too close. I'll repeat, May doesn't know what she's doing. Hague, probably the worst opposition leader this country has ever had. Davis, still slated by his own party from his pathetic leadership campaign. Boris Johnson? Don't need to say anything about that clip of a man.

    Cameron was a **** but at least he had his head more screwed on and still ran the country into the ground, these ****ers are like a cabinet of nice but dim Tims. It's ****ing scary

    Abbott can be replaced, but the Tories has a cabinet crammed with top draw numpties.

    Probably the best in my lifetime! He monstered Blair in PMQs so much, Blair cut them back! Didn't do him any good in the election, like, but there it is...

    May and the Tories have had a disastrous election campaign and a disastrous record in government. However, I sadly believe that the right wing mainstream media will ensure a Tory victory with their brainwashing of the masses.

    He didn't cost, he made promises which didn't add up and he couldn't back up and became known as a complete question dodger. Laughing stock.

    I've just been slagging Abbott of so it a poor card to play fella. She's an idiot. But I'd rather have one useless fool to deal with than 4 of the ****ers. :)

    Haven't read all the posts, so I don't know what you've said about DA. But Hague was a lot better than you're painting him, no doubt in my mind. As for the current bunch, it's hard to disagree with the way they've been carrying on....

    People will tell you it's your democratic right to vote. They often forget it's your democratic right not to.

    At least Raw is running a better campaign than the Tories.

    I'm not bothering voting. I'm traditionally a labour voter, but politics has been put in a blender recently and I just dont know what to make of it. Things arent as black and white (or red and blue) anymore. Besides I'm from old coalfields of North West Durham, Labour could dig up Jimmy Savile and place him as leader and they would still win here.

    He didn't say that. This has been part of the problem with the Tory campaign, While May has shied away from running a proper campaign, people like you have stepped in desperately trying to twist words.

    He said he's not comfortable with shoot to kill(me to, I'd rether they faced up to their actions rather than be given a quick and painless way out) and would perfer it not get to that stage. If you'd paid one ounce of attention to anything he's said in this matter, is that he wants to help settle things in the middle east by doing things like stop selling arms to countries in the area and by negotiating with countries(not terrorists) about bring peace to the region. He has not said at any point that he would negotiate with Terrorists. You're seriously lacking credibility now fella. Any fool knows ISIS can't be negotiated with. <doh>

    Two issues there. Sort out the ME on a geopolitical level and shoot the terrorists here.
