Anybody paying tax should get a say in where it goes

Anyway, never mind the youngsters, EU nationals who live here and contribute should definitely be getting a vote

And while we are at it, anybody over 80 shouldn't be getting a vote

Nor should folk living the majority of the year outside the UK

I'd agree with pretty much all that

Not sure how "well" anyone could be judged to be doing considering there is a remain majority in parliament.

He got another agreement against all odds and predictions.

He's managed to get parliament to give it an initial thumbs up too.

 

That’s my point though, parliament is not going anywhere. This is the environment created by our hapless leaders

This area is as big a Tory area as you're likely to find. I've always voted Tory in the past, every single time..... This time, I'll not be doing so though. I'll see who is on the ballot paper before deciding which way to go though

I honestly think labour will do well.

When there is uncertainty, people resort to type.

Labour has always been the workers party and in many areas will get voted in simply for the red rosette.

It'll be a hung parliament.

By, local and Euro elections are completely different to General Elections. Labour voters have a huge choice to make, vote for their socialist principles or risk the Tories getting in and sacrificing northern heartland jobs and bringing hardship to their communities

Why only EU nationals if you’re going down That rd? What about all the non EU nationals who live over here? Are they not worthy of a vote, should they Just get Fucked off with the grannies?

Only one party is willing to uphold my vote so the rest can get to fuck.

Brexit Party then I assume.... Unless you mean Tory, because you voted for a half in / half out Brexit

 

I'm taking the piss by the way 😊

Johnson's deal by all accounts (recognised by respected economists) will hit UK GDP to the tune of between 5 to 7% or c.£115b so who do you think will be hit hardest? The South East will be cushioned so it has to hit hard somewhere and the working class areas are more vulnerable

Forgot about them in fairness

However we now have a reasonable deal in the circumstances, so Nigel is, for me, irrelevant now.

Not sure they will even field a candidate in every constituency now.
