For the sweet love of god, see sense wimmin and men folk <3
Vote for us, the people, just not the cons
Sorry if I did. I can think of lots of things to argue about but politics isn't one of them.
I am gone. Don't really spend much time here for various reasons anymore anyway. Toodles everyone
Yes its just a discussion.
with added heart
Lets put it this way Oddschecker has it a ...... TORY WIN
Oh well . . . .
It makes me laugh when Weak and Wobbly goes on about Labour's 'magic money tree', when she won't answer what would be a reasonable settlement between the EU and the UK for the UK's committed obligations. ÂĢ0 and ÂĢ100billion is quite a stark difference. The Labour manifesto is costed, the Tory manifesto is a work of fiction.
No deal with our closest and most profitable traders is a bad deal. May is a waste of space, a consummate vacuous politician who thinks cretinous soundbites like 'strong and stable' are a good enough substitute for actual policy. Ironic since she's proven herself weak and wobbly. She was a shit, incompetent home secretary and she's a shit PM.

I've been keeping out of this for the most part, but I was talking to friends about the Tories' "No deal is better than a bad deal" line over the weekend, and for me it's been the most ridiculous piece of doublespeak of the whole election campaign.
Normal business thinking in this sort of situation would be exactly the opposite: any deal - good or bad - would be preferable to no deal at all. The one thing that the City, big businesses, etc. hate is uncertainty. Just imagine how they would react if we were to go through 2 years (TWO YEARS!) of negotiations only to end up with nothing to show for it, and the prospect of the uncertainty continuing for goodness-knows how long. The economy would tank completely...
you have to admit, the BBC have ran a stonking Conservative campaign, I'm off to vote for a fairer society 
A pearl of wisdom from of all places Big Brother and from knuckle dragger Lotan,
"I don't vote cos eventually they'll all lie and screw you over"

And if the SNP make gains I wan t Nicola Turgid to put a school cap on and say it was "fandabbydozy"
No, not Theresa May ... Jeanette Tough (Little Jimmy Krankie)
I am just leaving work and trying to decide who to vote for. My ward is so strong Labour with a big majority I was thinking of helping the 'Pirate Party' keep their deposit.
...and no, I don't think it has anything to do with Pirate1111.

If the SNP do badly tonight I guess they will have to rethink their 2nd indyref idea.

They'd have to do very badly, though.
It wasn't very well reported, but one of the things Sturgeon said (IIRC during the manifesto launch) was that if the SNP won (i.e. retained) the majority of Scottish seats, they would consider that a mandate for IndyRef2.
Considering how many seats they'd have to lose to drop below the 50% mark, she definitely came across as saying "IndyRef2's happening, no matter what."

I live in hope, Eugene.
One thing you can be sure of, regardless of the result of this election, Sturgeon will continue to push on with her call for a second Independence Referendum.

my 18yr step-son has proudly come in to tell us he's voted..for the 1st time-and he's voted labour
cos he's autistic, he cant do college & has been relying on us to help him out, tories wont help kids like him
he cant do college, cant get any money from government, so he's stuck, now he's 18 he said he wouldnt want other kids like him, but younger, to be broke & he was lucky to have us..some kids arent so lucky
my little naughty b*stard of a step-son has finally grown up!
and, he recently got himself a job, doesnt pay well, but he's earning for himself..the tories overlook kids like him
Do you want a new sticky for discussing the election results?
As for the BBC , the Left say it's biased towards the Conservatives ...the Right say it's biased towards Labour ....so in my book they getting it spot on
