Ffs how is anyone in their right mind voting the tories in again. Bonkers

In a lot of peoples minds there is no option but to?

 

I don’t vote. But if someone said to me you have the deciding vote. Tory or labour and whoever you vote for gets in power, and abstaining isn’t an option , I know where my cross would go.

Not a fan of Campbell but he is a very clever fella. No need for silly games like that either.

That said, Boris should know better but doesn't. 

It was the first thing I thought of as I could see him smiling at the previous comments- someone will try to make something of this. 

He might be guilty of lots of things, but joining in with a collective chuckle isn't something he, nor anyone else there should have to be bothered about.

The camera was on Sunak, and so Boris was in shot. What would the social media twatterati have done if a member of a different party had been in shot at that moment and been seen smiling?

Amazing the number of people with the time and desire to actually undertake this type of work and to what end? Are they spies or just societal leaches addicted to shallow social media likes?

Except my boys the Green Party aka the Marijuana party

Haha I’m same normally. This time I’ll vote for a pig in a red rosette if needs be.

I think the cost of living crisis, which is on the horizon, if it's not already here, will have a huge bearing on the next GE. No matter what has caused it, those in power will be blamed (and I'm not suggesting that's right) - folk won't look back to what happened during the last couple of years, as memories tend to be be fairly short when it comes to finances.

I'd still expect a Tory win, but with a massively reduced amount of seats

Maybe there should be a referendum.

1. Do you want to continue with sanctions and action to support Ukraine.

2. Ignore the illegal war, and make deals with Russia for cheaper energy and products so as to not inconvenience the general public monetarily.

In some ways I hope it happens. That labour get in. Give it a couple of months before folk realise the mistake. Reap what you sow and all that.

Well, if Ashton's finest is still in post, then expect the rise of the unions once again.

Talk about swinging one way to the other.

If you like lies and corruption there is no better option but anyone would of been better than Bozo and his corrupt pals. They have literally taken the piss. Patel, Hancock, Mogg, Williamson, some of the most inept ministers ever seen.

Personally yes, just in different ways. 
 

it’s why I don’t vote. And why I just get my head down and crack on best I can. All this bollocks some spout bout having a voice etc. nonsense. 
 

I make my own luck whoever is in power. They all want as much of my money as they can get to pay for things I don’t and never will use or to pay for the lazy dregs of society. And then all lie and serve themselves and themselves only. 
 

it’s like a roundabout with different characters on it. Same start same ending. Round and round.

Haha I’d maybe be the one person worse than Boris. Plenty more people on the island. I’d go with a foreign boss in a Sven style appointment

Bit like Brexit then? 😁

Incidentally been sat having a pint with a leaver in Scarborough this afternoon who was telling me they wished they'd voted the other way in retrospect. Visionaries 😉😁👍

Could well be right. I’d take Labour politicians over some of the twats in the Conservative party.

I’d take a PM that you could trust, even vaguely. It’s unbelievable that we still don’t know if he was at a party at his own house or what he knew about other lockdown breaches. Imagine a PM that has to be investigated just to establish that. Ridiculous!

Interesting... 

Have the vote today, and the majority of the country votes for option 1

Have the vote in 12 months time (if the situation is still ongoing) and the majority of the country votes option 2
