Off Topic General Election Special

[Sir Cheshire Ben]

Wonder what will happen with brexit if we get a minority labour government topped up by the SNP.

I think any coalition with the SNP would mean agreeing to a second independence referendum.

I can't see either of the main parties agreeing to this. If there's a hung Parliament I can see another GE in October with Boris at the helm for the Cons.

I think if Labour eat into the Cons small majority May will be ousted anyway which would make a mockery to everyone who's on social media declaring they've voted for May for PM.

We get The Crankies leading the country.

We had the slowest growing economy of the G7 group of advanced economies in the first 3 months of this year (0.2%) compared to Canada's 0.9%.

Canada's policies are as good as identical as to what the Labour Party Manifesto details.

Just one quarter, how about posting the figures for the last full year?

They only got elected last Autumn.

They're can't be many on social media backing May, it's all labour on my feeds. It's hard to put pro tory opinion on social media if you're under 30 as the backlash is mental. I presume it was the same if you wanted to keep scotland in the union.

Very funny as in August 2016 the Tories printed £70 billion to give to the banks.

Yeah but that's different. There's no money, honest.

OK there's a bit more for some companies that the tories have links to but that's all. There isn't a magic money tree you know.

Oh and there's a few trillion for trident but seriously, no money for the country. Austerity is the only way.

If it helps pre-election call the OECD were predicting that the U.K. will have the slowest growing economy of the G7 in 2018 (0.96%) & Canada will have the fastest growing (2.34%).

Magical Money Tree.

A slow growing economy is probably the reason of lowest importance for not voting tory.

I've had a few.

The Northern powerhouse was Osborne's idea as he was an MP in the North West. Once he got demoted the political will for it has faded.

It was a good idea, all Northern MP's should have a political will for it, we are under represented in the UK in comparison to say Scotland & Wales.

I meant ours obviously.

That's Brexit for you.

 

[Sir Cheshire Ben]

Maybe but the successful models of Canada & Norway using similar anti-austerity measures that Labour are suggesting could be interpreted as the austerity measures failing the economy.

They certainly pour scorn on the false claims that Labour's manifesto would bankrupt the country.

 

[Party Hull!]

An hour left of another hard day at work, lots of unhappy people because of another year without reward despite achieving well.

Looking forward to voting for Labour on the way home and hoping for a change of course that prevents one or two people at the top of corporations swallowing all the gains.

Redistribute.

You say Brexit, I say austerity & poor leadership.
