    Since Royston has stopped posting this site has gone very left wing.... this has helped me make up my mind about tomorrow though <ok> ...... as much as I think that May is really not up to the job ... she is a far better option than Corbyn and McD who would bring the Country into the hands of the IMF within 2 years... spend, spend, spend

    I will be voting Tory tomorrow, with a slightly heavy heart.

    It's not deliberate that the site has "gone" left wing - I guess there are just less numbers to balance it out as things stand.

    However anyone decides to vote for tomorrow has no bearing on how I perceive them. I'm pretty thankful as we can get back to char... Oh.

    Corbyn has missed a chance there though by not making the temporary replacement someone more respectable/known to floating voters - still goes to show that the PLP is not in a good place. As others had said if they lose tomorrow then all of the momentum (for want of a better word...) gained in this campaign could surely be for nothing if the PLP revolts.

    You can pick up a free copy of The Morning Star at Tesco's. If you read the Daily Mail and The Morning Star you might get a balanced view.
    Theresa Me called this election allegedly about Brexit. She says she has a plan, and that she is ready, Jeremy Corbyn isn't. So, is there anything we know now that we didn't know before the election about Brexit? I have no doubt she will get a comfortable majority, but she does not deserve it on the strength of her campaign, it will be because of the state of the Labour Party. I'm confident we can get the 150 seats I hoped for at the beginning, and the nearer we get to 200 the better. The Tories will be hoping Jeremy Corbyn doesn't stand down after the election to continue the disarray in the PLP, and I don't think he will immediately. He'll want to push through a rule change which will require only 5% support from the PLP for any candidate to stand, then he'll stand down, which will be September.

    He's single handedly (with a bit of help from the Sun and the Mail) trying to get May back into power. Odd, given he was certain it would be a lanslide. Still, as the football side of things is so quiet, it's a good time to take a break.

    Fair enough, that's what he believes in. What I don't get is not wanting to vote,especially those who have suffered most from austerity. Voting should be compulsory.

    Everybody deserves human rights except those who wish to forcibly remove the human rights of others for their own idealistic beliefs
