O/T - general election 2019

[CASPER-64-FRANK]

I thought that she did ok in the face of an unsympathetic audience. Coalition government means compromise and compromise means that you don't always get what you want.

She didn't go down too well with the audience.
Compromise yes, not rolling over, rhetoric and sound bites to gain votes.
She won't be getting my vote.

I need help gents. I'm really struggling to decide who to vote for.
Boris the bafoon is full of lies and is one person I would never want as a leader.
Corbin would either revoke article 50 or come up with such a poor deal the 2nd referendum would have no choice but to vote remain.
Jo leading the LD is going to get one of the lowest number of seats that I can recall.
Farage and the brexit party. He always talks a good session but he's like a snake. .

What I think will happen is labour/SNP and prob LD will team up in the red corner and cons and brexit party in the blue corner. We will be back to square one.

Jeremy Corbyn won't revoke article 50, if in power, Lib Dems will.
Labour will more than likely negotiate a softer Brexit and another referendum to decide whether to accept or remain. He may take a neutral stance and let the public decide AGAIN.
Looking at sitting this one out although I'm leaning towards Labour.
Could be a landslide Tory victory or worst case scenario a hung Parliament.

This is what really winds me up over Corbyn/labour..
He says, if in power he will get a deal then let the people decide. Everyone knows he will go for a extremely soft Brexit. Let the people vote. He's basically diluting the brexitiers
Once the dust settles he can't be blamed as it was the people who decided.. another snake.

Depends how you read the context and interpret it.
Jeremy Corbyn is taking a neutral stance cayton, don't see too much wrong with that. Him ,John McDonnell and a few others are ' leavers ' the rest will campaign on remain. So if you do accept Labour it's leave with a soft Brexit that the EU prefer or remain full stop.

If you remember it didn't do Harold Wilson too much harm in 1974, HW then led a minority Government and went on to win an October GE with a 3 seat majority.

Soon be 13th December...

I totally agree this is Corbyn plan but why would he make a soft deal then send it back to the people? As flour says. the people have spoken once. Get the deal done wether it's soft / hard or somewhere between and let's move on. What will happen if it's another close decision but this time for remain?. Will we have millions more spent on a third, fourth debate!
I'm like lots of other people. Were going to have to vote for someone we don't want to. And sadly Brexit will dominate the decision. ���� What a shtfest it is.

If Corbyn gets in we will probably end up voting to remain as the choice will be either a softer Brexit where we don't have a vote within the EU (pointless imo) or remain.

[Silly-miller]

This is like trump vs Clinton two bad choices to choose from a guy with a party who wants to remain vs a fool with a party full of schemers

FT "If Labour’s proposals for public spending were implemented they would add a little over 6 percentage points to the share of public spending as a proportion of gross domestic product, raising the level to roughly 44 per cent. That figure is not out of line with countries such as Germany and still below France."

FT 'Labour’s radical election manifesto would create the harshest tax regime on business income among large advanced economies, according to comparable international tax data.'

[WanChaiMiller]

Labour certainly drawn the battle lines.

[KerrAvon]

Labour certainly drawn the battle lines.

Last week, you quite rightly raised the need to create high quality jobs in the UK. How do you rate the chances of that happening under a Labour government that would create the harshest tax regime on business income among large advanced economies coupled with the threat of nationalisation?
