    I have met Tories who actually did this.

    Are you saying that I am a Tory ?

    I like to think of myself as a 'Political free spirit'

    Well that's my vote for Official Monster Raving Loony Party. Same as other general elections. Guess that this is going to go down as the "anti-Brexit" revolution.

    Europe will be "we love you" and thanks for allowing us to dictate to your nation.

    All the political elite like Blair will cream their pants.

    Diane Abbot will think about turning up for a vote, and get 12 appearances on Question Time.

    I benefit more from the Tories being in charge, but I can't stand the toff nonces. 5 more years of the rich robbing the poor. They'll probably have to resort to eating each other by the end of that.

    Why would anybody decide not to vote? Is it because they don't value democracy? Or because they are happy to let others make the choice?

    A fatal error by Ed Miliband to give the "£3 members" a vote in Labour's leadership election - as was widely predicted at the time, they voted & didn't come back.

    Surprising that Mrs May refuses to debate the other leaders on live TV. Who is she afraid of, Corbyn or Farron?

    Neither, just nothing to be gained from it.

    Who would the Labour Party supporters on here like to see as next Labour leader ?

    Keir Starmer has handled a difficult situation really well, Dan Jarvis is another possibility, but if it has to be a woman I voted for Yvette Cooper last time,with Liz Kendall as second choice. It's been hard to tell while the party is a personality cult. Jarvis would probably be the most popular electorally.

    I have voted for the monster raving looney party in the past they had the minister for chocolate standing in my constituency a few elections back a real honor.
    I'm a paid up member of NHA Party though obviously they only have a few candidates who stand .
    By and large the main parties are greedy self centred bastards

    Dan Jarvis would be the best chance to regain what used to be Labour heartlands up north. The problem has been that any potential leaders are under a vow of silence. They'll probably still get the blame from the corbynistas when the Labour inquest is held. It may even have started.
