What it comes down to is I don't trust Corbyn. It's fine and dandy him pledging billions upon billions of taxpayers money for every cause going, but nobody outside his circle of followers believes for one minute he can deliver.mickeymacca wrote:SierraOscarBravo wrote:My mind is made up.

OK fair enough, I guess I can expect the next part of this post to convince me as to why I too should be voting Conservative.
I am just an ordinary working man with a young family to support. I have always voted Labour in the past, but with Corbyn and Abbott at the helm, I am sorry to say the Labour Party no longer represents people like me.
Don't sell yourself short, you're a politically engaged, working bloke that wants the best for his family, earns my respect.
I voted Leave in the EU referendum last year. Twenty years earlier I believed that we should be in the EU and reforming it to the way we want it. Unfortunately twenty years later the conclusion I reached was that the EU is an out of control bureaucracy incapable of reforming itself. Controlling our borders and managing who we let in to our country should be determined by the British government not by the EU. My vote to Leave was above all a vote to regain our independence from an increasingly corrupt and dictatorial EU regime that sooner or later is destined to fall apart.
Ok no probs, that was not my view at the time, but that issue is now resolved and we are leaving the EU, so I think we can draw a line under that.
I am aware that Theresa May campaigned to remain in the EU, but that she respects the decision of the British people to leave the EU and deliver upon that has made me respect her more.
As opposed to Jeremy Corbyn who was conflicted in his position to remain in the EU, but respects the decision of the British people to leave the EU and deliver upon that.
Those on the Left who are so twisted by their own dogma and hatred of their opponents need to take a good long hard look at themselves. To say that you cannot support any party other than Labour if you are a working person is complete nonsense.
Granted, a little bit of humility and acceptance as to why 'ordinary' blokes like you have decided to use your vote differently is required if we are to try to persuade you to reconsider. We are all in the same boat here, we're not enemies.
The Conservatives are going to win a big majority on 8th June and it will be ordinary working people - many of whom had always voted Labour in the past - who will deliver the landslide.
Probably right, but it will be ordinary working people that will be affected by the course of that action, sadly.
Corbyn could potentially lose 50% of his MPs but I doubt he will resign. The Left has annihilated the Labour Party and until or unless Corbyn goes the party will continue to wither away.
To be replaced by what/ who?
For every GE I have been able to vote I have heard the cliche 'it does n't make a difference who you vote for, they are all the same' well for the first time in my experience there is a real alternative, ask yourself honestly Sierra Oscar what real improvement in your life and your family's, who you work so hard to provide for, will a returned Conservative government offer?
The problem with Corbyn is he is good at being in the thick of any Leftist protest march or being seen shoulder to shoulder with terrorist mouthpieces. When it comes to being a credible potential Prime Minister he simply does not tick any of the boxes.
He has spent his entire political life voting against his party leadership. He is losing Labour voters by the MILLIONS and Labour MPs know this.
Theresa May and the Conservatives are the only viable option at this general election. Nobody suggests they are perfect or beyond criticism, but on balance I trust them to deliver Brexit and to manage the economy.
