"Whilst his campaign has exceeded my expectations of him I'm still not convinced my populist platitudes. He's flipped and turned on Nato, BREXIT, Trident and policing so many times that no one knows where he really stands on any of them. He has also set out to not govern for all the people of the UK but only the "many". No doubt that "many" will only be the "many" that fall for his populist message. If it was a straight choice between him and May I'd vote for May. Luckily it's not so I'm voting for Tim this time." I believe he will be good on NATO...I think on brexit he will get a better deal then may as iv a feeling she will fuck it up....on Trident we all know his views but it will still remain. But in the long term we all have to give it up hopefully
On the people he is aiming for the 95% which must be better the the current 5%.
And on your voting I would have wished you would have went with JC but Tim is better then Teresa | |||

"I fear he will loose. I fear for my countries future... I am pretty sure this is the most important election since 1866 election which brought about the second reform act that finally did away with the rotten boroughs and gave all the men of Britain the right to vote. Of course this led to the universal suffrage and the representation of the people act of 1918 and the equal franchise act of 1928 which some may see as more important. However I think this election will be seen by history as being of equal importance because of the underlying issues. " I fear if he loses....but to be honest I really do not think the tories will win. And your very correct in the underlying issues as the tories have turned this into a very divided country. But you haven't answered the question on Corbyn? | |||

"I've still not voted yet, still can't make a decision. Can't get past Corbyn & Abbots remarks / lies / interviews on Supposedly not meeting IRA members when he did. Anti Trident. Anti NATO. Calling Hamas & fucking Hezbollah "friends" probably won't be long till ISIS / ISIL get added to his whatsapp friends list. Him sticking his cock in Diane Abbot years ago and now she's his fucking Shadow Home Secretary. Abbots interview crash after interview crash. She changes her views on world issues depending on hair styles. Maybe she is actually ill? Hate the Tories too by the way, just these issues are annoying me more than anything the Tories have so far. " There another post called swing vote...maybe that will help you choose in your quest. | |||

"To those who say Corbyn is taking us back to the 70s I have two questions. 1. What era do you believe the politics of fox hunting, relaxing the ivory trade, and grammar schools belong to? 2. I assume you are talking about nationalisation when you mention the 70s. Why is it OK for the French, German, Chinese etc state to own and make profit from our major travel and energy industries and infrastructure, but crazy to say that we should own them ourselves and benefit from any profit?" Maybe educate yourself about what happened under Labour in the 70's before you vote. Unless its too late. Oh and remember that Callaghan was far more moderate and a better PM than Corbyn could ever be | |||

Why is it OK for the French, German, Chinese etc state to own and make profit from our major travel and energy industries and infrastructure, but crazy to say that we should own them ourselves and benefit from any profit?" 1) Fox hunting, whilst I'm not in favour of it, is an odd that affects very few so I wouldn't decide an election vote on it. The Ivory Trade ban is controversial at best and some argue that it does more harm for elephants than good. Grammar Schools in the past were decisive because the amount spent on children going to Grammar Schools was significantly more than others. That's not going to be the case this time. 2. The real problem with nationalisation is that it effectivity puts the same people who should be policing the industries actually running them. It also inhibits investment when the government has to decide whether to spend money on say electrifying a rail line or building a new hospital. | |||

I asked the question on Corbyn which is true. I asked for your view which I replied to in a lighthearted manner. But it then became obvious on your gripe ie "voting for tim" which you got a lighthearted reply on. But it has become evident in you reply to every poster on this thread with different views to you that you just will not let go on brexit...and I find it hard to have a discussion with anyone who has become so stuck on one thing that must have really hurt you. On the 95%,well that's my reply to a question you throw and I wouldn't say for one minute it's labour policy to cut 5% out....as said my view on how it is currently divided. I hope that has answered your question a we move on ok? | |||

"Because they, like a lot of people think that this election is too important for squabbling. They are not soft-left democratic socialists like Corbyn, but they feel that they have more in common with him than the Tories.

"To those who say Corbyn is taking us back to the 70s I have two questions. 1. What era do you believe the politics of fox hunting, relaxing the ivory trade, and grammar schools belong to? 2. I assume you are talking about nationalisation when you mention the 70s. Why is it OK for the French, German, Chinese etc state to own and make profit from our major travel and energy industries and infrastructure, but crazy to say that we should own them ourselves and benefit from any profit? Maybe educate yourself about what happened under Labour in the 70's before you vote. Unless its too late.

"Whilst his campaign has exceeded my expectations of him I'm still not convinced my populist platitudes. He's flipped and turned on Nato, BREXIT, Trident and policing so many times that no one knows where he really stands on any of them. He has also set out to not govern for all the people of the UK but only the "many". No doubt that "many" will only be the "many" that fall for his populist message. If it was a straight choice between him and May I'd vote for May. Luckily it's not so I'm voting for Tim this time. I believe he will be good on NATO...I think on brexit he will get a better deal then may as iv a feeling she will fuck it up....on Trident we all know his views but it will still remain. But in the long term we all have to give it up hopefully
There is no "good deal" to be had on BREXIT. The only good deal is to remain, any other deal is a bad deal.
On the people he is aiming for the 95% which must be better the the current 5%.
You may say and actually believe that the Tories only govern for the 5% but they, and all the other national parties including UKIP, say they want to govern for all. The only party saying it does not want to govern for all the people is the Labour party. How is that not decisive?
And on your voting I would have wished you would have went with JC but Tim is better then Teresa
When you stop splitting posts up....just a simple quote and bottom reply! You may get a answer.....I've seen a couple of yours were you've spit to make misquotations! It has been noted.
I don't think I've misquoted anyone ever but if you think I have please feel free to actually point out where.
On the other hand you could just answer the points raised and not try to avoid and deflect from them. It's your choice.
Thank you for quoting normally

" So really when you started this thread you just wanted a bunch of people to praise him like a proper echo chamber
the issue is whether you like to admit it... or don't....
you have to admit that him and labour did run a good campaign....
"Positive points: - it was skillful to move the debate off brexit and onto public services Negatives: - his economic plan was on par with the £350m the NHS will never see from brexit - he doesn't know the words yes or no. - he got 3 seats more than Gordon Brown. Even the seats of 5 left wing parties couldn't form a coalition, the result is pathetic. " just like you can admit that the campaign the tories ran was shocking bad.... " Very true, manifesto was embarassing and learn to turn up to debates. But this only serves to detract from Corbyns achievements, he bought his A game and couldn't beat the conservative B team. " the right wing media tried to do a proper hatchet job on him.... but the power of social media for me defeated that.... " No this is just silliness. If he would learn to answer a question directly then 90% of his media problems would end. Would you push the button or not corbyn? Do you condemn the IRA or not? Did you vote remain? These are yes or no questions. Answer first, explain second. " when he was on the main stage he made himself look a lot more competant than may did.... save for one or two bloopers (the womans hour interview) he did a good job " It's pretty easy to talk about spending other peoples money and get a clap. Much harder to urge financial restraint. He did improve once he put on a suit but fundamentally he was socrates sweet shop owner 'debating' the doctor. | |||

"this is where we are going to disagree you can look at the rise of bernie sanders in the US for example.... and Jean Luc Melachon in france.... where you can be of the left and populist and run a positive campaign which is absolutely what Corbyn and his team did... you may not agree that it was a hactchet job the right wing media tried to play.... 13 pages in the daily mail, 7 in the daily express, 5 in the sun all on election day saying why people shouldn't vote for him...... the fact that it labours campaign was more social media targeted (especially at younger voters) shows they did learn.... i am so impress they seem to have managed to turn on people enough to get out there and actually vote! for example... no way does canterbury go red without a huge turnout from the university of kent..... no way does sheffield hallam go red without both sheffield uni students....... " But no daily mail readers were ever going to vote labour anyway. Newspapers are just echo chambers people use as intellectual masturbation. Fundamentally, i don't believe all votes should be equal. So whilst it is good the youth engagement increased, they are not sufficiently mature to have an opinion as informed as the average person who is actually paying the taxes that would have funded their university fees or actually has a house that could crash in value. | |||

"this is where we are going to disagree you can look at the rise of bernie sanders in the US for example.... and Jean Luc Melachon in france.... where you can be of the left and populist and run a positive campaign which is absolutely what Corbyn and his team did... you may not agree that it was a hactchet job the right wing media tried to play.... 13 pages in the daily mail, 7 in the daily express, 5 in the sun all on election day saying why people shouldn't vote for him...... the fact that it labours campaign was more social media targeted (especially at younger voters) shows they did learn.... i am so impress they seem to have managed to turn on people enough to get out there and actually vote! for example... no way does canterbury go red without a huge turnout from the university of kent..... no way does sheffield hallam go red without both sheffield uni students....... But no daily mail readers were ever going to vote labour anyway. Newspapers are just echo chambers people use as intellectual masturbation. Fundamentally, i don't believe all votes should be equal. So whilst it is good the youth engagement increased, they are not sufficiently mature to have an opinion as informed as the average person who is actually paying the taxes that would have funded their university fees or actually has a house that could crash in value. " they are mature enough to be sent to fight and die in far off lands for their country.. there were 'mature' people on camera last year nearly in tears post the referendum saying things like 'i got my England back'..? there are mature people who have never contributed a penny in tax through a life on the dole, yet have the right to vote.. | |||

without getting into the minutia of different roles of young people, a person who you deem not mature (you were vague so maybe clarify who you mean) who will be commanding and leading other not mature people in places like Afghanistan and Iraq of late will be making decisions on a daily basis a bit more complicated than putting a cross in a box..
you may think it populist bit its fact and to dismiss it as you did only serves to show you have not thought about your point..
now we can be immature and start cunting each other off or we can debate..
"Ok lets start again, - Nobody knows the future for certain - Politicians tell us what they intend to do in the future but frequently fail to deliver (all parties) - They use logical sounding arguements to try and assure us - A lot of these plausible sounding arguements just don't work in the real world - Young people are usually hearing these arguements for the first time whilst experienced people remember politicians promising the same shit 20 years ago and not delivering - None of the above effects the ability of a young person to go to war and carry out their duties effectively - Therefore it makes no sense to claim that the ability to be a solider means their political opinions are fine tuned. | |||

Only looking for a thank you here and a bit less of the politics of envy ". Hey I don't even vote remember, I'm just keeping it honest!. If you look on the political map you'll also notice its almost all blue everywhere, that's coz the workers live in the city and out in the country lives the wealth and the land owners.

"this is where we are going to disagree you can look at the rise of bernie sanders in the US for example.... and Jean Luc Melachon in france.... where you can be of the left and populist and run a positive campaign which is absolutely what Corbyn and his team did... you may not agree that it was a hactchet job the right wing media tried to play.... 13 pages in the daily mail, 7 in the daily express, 5 in the sun all on election day saying why people shouldn't vote for him...... the fact that it labours campaign was more social media targeted (especially at younger voters) shows they did learn.... i am so impress they seem to have managed to turn on people enough to get out there and actually vote! for example... no way does canterbury go red without a huge turnout from the university of kent..... no way does sheffield hallam go red without both sheffield uni students....... But no daily mail readers were ever going to vote labour anyway. Newspapers are just echo chambers people use as intellectual masturbation. Fundamentally, i don't believe all votes should be equal. So whilst it is good the youth engagement increased, they are not sufficiently mature to have an opinion as informed as the average person who is actually paying the taxes that would have funded their university fees or actually has a house that could crash in value. they are mature enough to be sent to fight and die in far off lands for their country.. there were 'mature' people on camera last year nearly in tears post the referendum saying things like 'i got my England back'..? there are mature people who have never contributed a penny in tax through a life on the dole, yet have the right to vote.. So warfare skills are now similar to voting skills? Save the populist non-sequitur bs
ironic that your response is to try and shout down rather than look at what was actually said, its not a very mature response especially given your not that much older than those you deem not mature enough to vote..
without getting into the minutia of different roles of young people, a person who you deem not mature (you were vague so maybe clarify who you mean) who will be commanding and leading other not mature people in places like Afghanistan and Iraq of late will be making decisions on a daily basis a bit more complicated than putting a cross in a box..
you may think it populist bit its fact and to dismiss it as you did only serves to show you have not thought about your point..
now we can be immature and start cunting each other off or we can debate..
Ok lets start again,
- Nobody knows the future for certain
- Politicians tell us what they intend to do in the future but frequently fail to deliver (all parties)
- They use logical sounding arguements to try and assure us
- A lot of these plausible sounding arguements just don't work in the real world
- Young people are usually hearing these arguements for the first time whilst experienced people remember politicians promising the same shit 20 years ago and not delivering
- None of the above effects the ability of a young person to go to war and carry out their duties effectively
- Therefore it makes no sense to claim that the ability to be a solider means their political opinions are fine tuned. "i agree on the point about how the system is, has been and probably wont change unless the electorate collectively across all parties do something like mark their paper's with 'stop breaking your promises'.. but it wont happen.. i would rather that the young can look at what they see and listen to what is being said by whom, if they need to do some research and make their choice based upon what they think is right than make them wait till they become a bit jaded and cynical like us older types.. that will come in time for them.. that they have engaged now and not in 2015 and 2016 is something that has frustrated me personally, when we have a generation disenfranchised from politics its not good.. | |||

thats why i compared corbyn to sanders in the US and Melachon in france..... but not only did he excite the youth, he managed to get them out an vote and believe that their vote mattered....
in the grand scheme of things it might not look like a victory now.... but 6 months down the line (and i still think another election is coming in november) this is laying down the blueprint.....
"I agree with your analysis with the exception that "ConD UP" alliance will prove so toxic it may not last till Christmas. I also agree when the next election does come, with this spring board, Labour will probably do even better than it did this time, although I still think it's unlikely to get to the position were it can form a government on it's own. I'm glad, and think it's a good thing that Corbyn had actually managed to engage the young and get them motivated. My problem is is that i still don't believe his policies are economically sound or viable and promising the "many" everything they want and that someone else is going to pay for it all is populist rubbish. When he can't actually deliver how will the young feel then. | |||

With a realistic prospect of him actually winning then he probably won't get as much support next time. The prospect of him winning for real will scare some voters away from him. | |||

If they don't have an election then that would be 12 years in power. The most conservative have ever done is 18 (labour 13). The nature of politics is that the grass grows greener over time. If they are smart they will take the guarantee of 12 years. I agree with you about another election but less than12 months.
I just hope it gives the tories time to get a strong leader with modern ideas and revamps the stale tory party party.I cannot stand communists and could never vote for Corbyn but the tories are out of touch"The biggest thing the Conservatives normally have going for then is that they are seen as economically pragmatic and component. Unfortunately, while backing BREXIT, the most economically destabilising and risky policy since 1929, they can't really claim that any more. It's made even worse by the fact that many leading Conservatives were the leaders of the whole leave campaign which just makes then look even more economically incompetent. The only possible way to combat Corbyn's economically unsustainable message of hope is by pointing out how economically unrealistic it really is. The Conservatives can't do that while backing the economically suicidal policy of BREXIT. Without the attributes of economic pragmatism and competence the Conservatives have nothing unique to offer and may as well packup and go home now. | |||
