    Everyone elects corrupt politicians!

    The only politisation that isn't corrupt has resigned.

    A mix between communists and Marxists was never going to end well.
    Was it George Orwell who said that true socialism can not happen whilst ever there is Communism?

    Corbyn has shyte his bucket full and is now spent!

    I would vote for Boris Johnson to stop Corbyn taking Britain back into the 70s
    Problem with Johnson and Brexit it will take Britain back to the 50s.

    Not necessarily, and certainly not if they persist with their nationalisation and anti-business policies. I worked for a nationalised industry in the late 1960s/early 1970s and it was grossly inefficient and wasteful because the Labour government was always there to throw money at it if things weren't going too well.
    It's not just Corbyn that would stop me voting Labour either, it's the fact that the likes of Abbott and McDonnell would be in the cabinet. We'd be better off with Abbott and Costello, and they're both dead!
    I guess I am politically homeless at the moment. The Tories have made a complete hash of Brexit and have taken their eye off the ball on other important matters.
    The Lib Dems are just a bunch of chancers which is why they attract duplicitous no-hopers like Chukka Umunna. They'll probably pick up some votes from die-hard Remainers and, if there's a hung parliament, theyll cosy up to the party with the most seats in the hope of forming a coalition. They've already got form in that department but it didn't go too well last time did it?
    Brexit Party anyone?

    I'll wager you weren't on of those that was inefficient or wasteful

    If by anti business you mean anti exploitation & anti free for all, & anti greed I'm with you
