How will you vote?

Indeed. Post election (were that nightmare scenario to actually happen) her, plus Corbyn and the rest would be so at odds with parliament, business and the media that every day would be a car-crash day.
PM's questions with Corbyn, Abbott being interviewed on the latest event...neither of them can string ten coherent words together.
Almost something that would be worth looking forward to for those who like car-crash TV.
The markets would sink like a stone and the Old Fraud can blame it on Brexit.

My vote is now firmly Conservatives. They have their faults as much as Labour has, that said, Conservatives are the most competent of the lot.
all your thoughts seem the same as mine, and even just 2 years ago voting conservative in my lifetime was unthinkable, now its the only sensible choice ... Im actually hoping for a big tory win so maybe the Labour party can break from the shambles it currently is in and become a party worth voting for the election after this.

I'm hoping for the same.
A Tory win leading to a Labour Party splitting with the Hopeless Corbyn and co leaving to set up another party in it's own right.
It can't be morally right that a large swathe of the working class population actually have nowhere to put a cross in a GE.

Yeah - good thinking. Then we'll have the choice between two Tory parties, just like we did in the good old days :left:

Yeah - you're right. I reckon they should tax the poor and give it to the rich, that the rich might employ us in greater numbers and that the wealth they create from our labour might one day trickle back down to us. For it to be taxed again. And we will all live happily ever after.

Vote Conservative - it makes a lot of sense.

:hmmmm

Both parties have their strengths and weaknesses. I would never advocate a party that taxes the poor to give to the rich any more than a party which positively benefits someone not to work for a living, a dolescrounger if you would.

I would vote Labour, but I just get a feeling of desperation from them, promising everything at last minute before an election just to win votes. What I would want to know is what order are Labours pledges made?? Are they going to re-nationalise the industries first or in 5 years time when another election is due? And the idea of increasing the national minimum wage - when? I also don't like the fact that Labour is probably going to screw up Brexit for us in some way, and that both the many and the few will all be worst off.
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

That just about sums them up. the young vote - tell 'em well scrap tuition fees. Effect 100,000 more useless degrees in Sports Psychology and Media Studies, not engineers, doctors etc. vanity degrees as opposed to practical harder ones. Tell mothers they get free childcare which will benefit immigrants more as they have more children pro-rata and be a colossal burden on the rest of us. If you can't afford kids don't have them. 10,000 more of these 5.98p-a-week Police Officers. You put a copper on every street corner in every city you will NOT stop terror attacks.

Lib Dems are just as filthy - effectively saying they'll engineer a bad E-USSR deal to ensure it'll be rejected in second referendum thus maintaining our membership and effectively breaching the Brexit voters' wishes to leave. Unconstitutional and could cause anarchy quite literally as people no longer recognize the government as acting on their instructions, and legitimizing civil disobedience.

I think May is the female image of 'Grey Man' John Major and about as charismatic, but the alternatives are too dreadful to contemplate and whatever the intentions of Postslippete in voting, I'm glad he's pointed out the facile and futile promises of Corbyn which are simply a mass bullsh!t assault on the gullible plus the younger demographic who aren't knowledgeable or educated enough to spot the impossible economics around them, that maybe their parents have.

So Corbyn is busy misleading millions of parents and youngsters for his vote steal. Farron is so full of sh*t I wonder why his eyes are blue, and he's misleading millions of Remainers for his desperate attempt at support.

Wonder if Jeremy Corbyn was pushed or decided himself to put Dianne Abbott on "sick leave".

Probably her wig blew off during an interview!! :left:

I think to be honest she suffers from mental health issues and is finding it all a bit stressful. Seems totally lost. Then in these times of Islamic terrorism her previous comments made in her younger days about respecting terrorists are coming to the fore, and maybe there are even worse ones that have been discovered that Labour are aware of? Who knows for sure? She has clearly become a liability to Labour.

Nothing like a whiff of power for people to forget their left wing principles, ambition over ability, it's seems Diane Abbott is not finding it so easy in the front of it when is used to sniping from the shadows and playing the race card without having to account for it.
