General election

Quoted from grimsby pete

I have cast my vote for the party who will have the best Prime Minister.


P.S.  It was not Corbyn.

Good lad Pete  

What a fine day for asking the Labour candidate
"Is this the right place to vote Conservative?"

Quoted from Maringer

Theresa May, polished? Now I've heard everything. A leader too cowardly to debate her opponents, who does her level best to avoid members of the public and who looks panicked at the gentlest of questioning from interviewers? I fear you're in for a big disappointment when Brexit bites.

Remember, "No deal is better than a bad deal" is a sentence with no meaningful content. No deal is the worst possible outcome of the forthcoming negotiations. The absolute worst.

At the end of the day politicians cant please everyone though .Stating the obvious I know but the perfect candidate doesnt exist.I dont mind Corbyn in fact and quite like him as a person but just feel May is better.

I think the writing is on the wall for May, so inept has she appeared in this election, even though she seems likely to win.

I think it highly unlikely she'll be around in 5 years time because the Tory backbenchers have already smelled the blood in the water. They'll wait until Brexit has been ballsed up before taking sticking the knife in though, so probably around 2020.

Better start getting in touch asking the WTO if we can become members quickly, pretty please, following Brexit and UK businesses better start reading up on tarriff codes right now because the Maybot will never come up with a reasonable deal which the EU will accept and I reckon she's foolish enough to walk away.

Can I ask exactly what it is you like about May and think is better? I can't see one single aspect of her that I would call good.

I don't think she'll be seen as the better leader for long regardless of today's polls. Would imagine that both leaders will be subject to at least attempted deposition in the next year or so.

I am fairly ignorant when it comes to the whole political scene,dont get newspapers, rarely watch the news,couldnt tell you a single manifesto pledge of any of the parties (not that i would trust them to actually keep them ),  this is as close as i get to any form of social media so by and large i gladly avoid all the b0ll0cks that goes with election politics and for  this general election i havnt seen a party political broadcast.

So my vote generally comes down to two things......gut feelings about political leaders and also my own doorstep politics, ie have any of the parties actually canvassed and tried to show why they should get my vote.

So my voting thoughts..
Labour - Jeremy Corbyn, seems to say quite alot of things which do not appear to be populist, so maybe he actually means what he says or he is clueless ?
Cons - May...dont like the fact she was straight up Trumps @rse when he was rattling his sabres Syria/Korea and also not wanting to partake in the TV debate...hmmm.
UKIP - no idea who is their leader now.
Lib - no idea who their leader is now.

Doorstep - despite living next door to my local polling station i have only received one door step visit ( Martin Vickers...well he stayed in the street looking a bit shifty one morning while one of his minions woke me up) and zero campaign leaflets.

If only there was an Apathy party....

We've had more Jehovah's Witnesses around than politicians during this campaign. Just Labour who have been to visit as far as I know.

I had a card through the door saying that Melanie Onn had been down my street and that i had missed her but nothing else apart from several pieces of literature, one in a stamped envelope from the Tory party asking me to vote for Theresa May and get a strong Brexit for Britain. Nothing else in there about any other policies, as if this issue is all that matters. They are backing this to the hilt in areas like Grimsby because of the high anti Europe vote last year in the North. They don't have anything else to offer poor working class Northern towns because they don't give a sh1t about them.

I got leaflets through the door from both parties (I live in Cleethorpes).

I thought I'd missed a personal visit from Vickers when at work yesterday, but I don't think it was him judging by what my wife said - just one of his flunkies.

I'd love to have a five minute conversation with Vickers to ask one or two questions which he couldn't answer without admitting how bad Tory policy is!
