TIGHTCHOKE Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 I dident predict it, but I thought she should, and I am not really surprised, there are plenty of manifesto issues to be campaigning on other than brexit, maybe she should start talking about how she is going to get this 1.4 trillion debt massively reduced, she should also make grammar schools a massive policy as it is starting to become, I can see the benefit of giving ordinary people a top class education via a test, even though I was a failure at the 11 plus, also apprenticeships for those that aren't academic, Don't underestimate the amount of people that will vote for corbyn, every immigrant is a given, every student, every public sector worker etc, he has a large pool of support, I don't think he will do as badly as people say, he only has to get his act together for 8 weeks and people will forget his previous and go with his rhetoric..........people are very odd, with short memories. Really? Freedom for Tooting Comrade Wandringstar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Just who are these class warriors and how many polls do they figure in? How many votes do they have? In all honesty, I don't know a single person who would vote for Corbyn. They regard him as a joke. Does Corbyn think he can win? If he does - he is delusional. If he doesn't he needs to step aside and let someone electable lead Labour. The man is a complete idiot and unfit to lead. Even the Lib Dems fancy their chances against him.

wandringstar Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 you know that, I know that, but millions will vote for him Gordon, what are you seriously thinking only 4 people will vote for him. Assuming your logic, the lib dems are going to have a great night then, as not many labour supporters can stomach voting tory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old'un Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Think Corbyn is another Michael Foot and Corbyn's values are of the old Labour and the unions, he will have support but he will not win the election. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldypigeonpopper Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Wow. She's throwing the dice, but it seems like an educated gamble to take absolute control. Labour are totally and utterly unelectable and the LibDems are in the wilderness. This is designed to get her a massive majority and then start some spring cleaning inside the Tory party. I didn't see that one coming but it makes sense. PLUS 1 from me, although i must say the conservatives are making a lot of financial cut backs/ pension age going up/ DWP cutbacks that will affect most people for years to come, i sincerely hope the BREXIT will have the best possable outcome for our future generations, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wandringstar Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 I called Cameron 2015, brexit and trump, just forgot to have a treble with the bookies. its obviously a may victory, but corbyn will surprise you, that's my prediction this time.

I nearly split my sides laughing. ok then Gordon, you have had a giggle at my views and predictions, so lets hear how many you think corbyn will get, bear in mind the eu referendum totalled about 35 million votes cast with a pretty high turnout, but with only two runners, how many are you saying corbyn and labour will get? ukip got 4 million.

panoma1 Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 youre wrong , im a binman , and you couldnt get a more typical(on paper) labour voter . my political tastes have changed massively since blair betrayed me , my ideals remain the same , but i despair at the state of the country and the people that are running it . at the last general election i voted ukip , i honestly believe that nigel farage was the last hope for this country , at the next general election i have no alternative but to vote conservative, i really dont like the thought of giving my vote to theresa may , but the thought of giving my vote to corbyn fills me with dread . That is pretty much how I feel about the current political scene in the UK.....putting Bliar and "New Labour" into Downing Street was a huge mistake.......his brand of politics destroyed the Labour Party, Brown and Millipede just put the final nails in its coffin........Corbyn is a Trot living in the past and is in denial, he does not realise the party is going nowhere with him as leader......

Mungler Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 The best odds I could find on a Tory election win was Ladbrokes at 1-10 on, and I'll wager there's a limit how much you can put on. Who was it on here who had a spare £10k and was looking for something to do with it? Seriously though that's the easiest grand you'd ever make And no tax!

I honestly think the Blair type of politician sank the whole of Westminster to a new low, him and his type (include osbourne / Clinton/ merkel and any others you like) are full of spin and contempt for the electorate. They and their type are directly responsible for the rise in popularity of the Farage, Trump, Le Pen etc. Jezza and Diane Abbott are of a similar type for me, bleat and whinge about state schools yet privately educate their own etc. I for one will be voting for May!

fortune Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 What's the election about? Is it Brexit? Is it a party political power issue? Is it to crush the weakened opposition down when they are at their weakest? A political roller coaster from the days of foot through Maggie to Blair and a few caretakers to who knows where. The evening of the Brexit referendum only seems like a click away. From the way that the people were voting on that day it was a big deal around here. There was a queue to vote and I have never ever seen that before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gustaff Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Don't hold your breath. Where I live in west Yorkshire, the public will vote Labour regardless. Even though there was massive support for brexit and Cornyn holds people like them in contempt. Interesting times. sadly they will vote labour the hand that fed the lifes and nothing will change the benefit life stylewhich spoils the worker taxpayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Albert Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 The thought of Corbyn winning a general election is nothing short of a nightmare. A person who could run this country yet despises everything the Queen stands for is unthinkable. Given his way he would have a hammer a sickle put in the corner of the flag. Sharia law would be given to anyone who wants it, free immigration, no armed forces and monuments like the Cenotaph dismantled to make a monument to Trotsky. He refuses to stand for the Monarchy or sing the National Anthem. Years ago he would be in the tower minus his head. He is a traitor to the British people and all that this nation stands for.
