O/T - general election 2019

Iv been saying this since the referendum the best thing labour could do is to let the Tory’s get on with brexit and

Are you joking? The Tories started this debacle and they can't finish it because they can't agree on a way forward.

Last time I looked labour had over a third of the seats what’s wrong with them voting on a deal? Btw I like how you only copied half of the sentence. Your basically saying the only way to get brexit done is give torys a huge majority

I'll be amazed if the Tories can't win by a healthy majority against the communist Corbynistas whose proposed policies are truly frightening. Many Labour voters are fearful of Venezuela Mark 2 and will probably abstain rather than vote Tory. It will be interesting how Nigel Farage tackles this but i expect a low turnout.

Manifestos haven’t been decided yet from all party’s, have a read through them when they do bring them out.
Which proposed frightening policies will turn the UK into Venezuela Mark 2. ?
Hyperinflation, shortage of food and medicines.?
If by some miracle a Labour government is elected they can always be voted out in 5yrs time.
Fartage has one aim, to come out of the EU with No Deal. It won’t take the Brexit Party longer than three minutes to write a manifesto up, that’s if they bother at all.

67.9% of Rotherham's turnout in the EU referendum voted to leave. I'm not that big on politics, so I don't understand why so many people in our town keep voting for a Labour party A) with its terrible track record in this town on so many issues and when they are constantly trying to block Brexit, which the majority of people in Rotherham voted for. It makes no sense to me.
Nothing that Labour do in their next election campaign will convince me to vote for them.

Be a laugh if Boris, standing in what is supposed to be a pro-Remain constituency , gets booted out
He's a stinking rich old-Etonian though so it probably wouldn't trouble him much, especially with his connections to another career in journalism, etc. That's the way the media works. It's a pity that Brian Rix is not still alive to see this classic Whitehall farce

Jo Swindon is the party leader who is at risk of losing her seat. She is up against the SNP.

I'm not saying it did. I'm saying that if Johnson wanted to get Brexit done as he says, then he had a majority in principle and, as Clarke said last night, why not take it on to the next stages, put any amendments to the vote and get it over the line. He had nealy 20 labour MPs backing it as well as the ERG. I don't like the bill but would have accepted a majority built around this WA. Can't really see why Johnson didn't take it further at this stage?

As important Brexit is surely there’s other issues to consider post Brexit ?
I haven’t voted in a GE since 2001, neither has my partner. It’s make your mind up time for us. Worst thing would be a minority government or another Coalition one.
So many issues that need sorting besides Brexit.
It could well be a People v Parliament Election.

That's true Casp, so many issues to debate. But isn't a People v Parliament election completely about Brexit?

What's happened to the Brexit party by the way? Have they given up? I thought that the BP would be taking all Heartlands seats in an election but all seems to have gone quiet on this? Have die hard Brexiteers now resigned to accepting Johnson's reheated May deal? Or do they have a cunning plan?

Yes, unfortunately P v P is all about Brexit.

The ‘ Cummings plan ‘ is to win a big majority and then push through Parliament what they want regardless.
The Tory Propaganda machine has been at work for quite some time.

My opinion is a majority of people just don’t like paying direct Income Tax.

True there’s other issues other than brexit but ever since the last election the only argument labours been banging the drum on since then is preventing brexit and like iv said before until brexit is sorted other issues will take a back seat. I voted labour last time because I think they had some great ideas and respected the Eu referendum, but to be honest I’m not sure I can trust them to do what they say on other issues when they can’t do what they said on brexit. Does that make any sense?
