Should I vote Conservative

Have you been drinking or something POGS? You appear to be hallucinating and imaging things which aren't there.

" Have you been drinking or something POGS? You appear to be hallucinating and imaging things which aren't there."

That's sweet of you. Now you have mention hallucinating .

Have you noticed my post on the The Green Party thread at 11.15?

Glad the air quality case has been knocked back. What would we do without the courts?

does that mean that all those Labour politicians and other Labour supporters who are not happy with Corbyn/McDonnell/Momentum are offering support to the Tories?

Err ... yes Jalima, it does. By undermining their own party I would have thought they must surely be supporting and strengthening the Tories - it's the other side of the coin. It's their choice though just as it is anyone else's; the rest of us just look on.

My answer at this moment, is NO don't vote conservative. I just heard Boris saying that if the USA ask us to join a bombing campaign in Syria, it would be "very difficult" for us to refuse. Why?
Additionally, Boris has used what I consider to be at least very rude and at worst rather abusive language to describe Jeremy Corby. My previous posts set out my reasons for being concerned about JC as Labour leader but for the Foreign Secretary to speak as he has today about a potential bombing campaign and about the leader of the LP is a worry on so many levels.

I've quite enjoyed Boris as entertainment but he was not entertaining, amusing or reassuring today.

No Jalima, for starters there are more than two parties so most definetly not labour v Tory .

I think I am Corbyn's most severe critic and because of this I have been called a Tory . I don't know how I will vote because local parties are not choosing their candidate ,I do know I will not support or vote Tory.

This is not a communist state, - you must not critcise the leader etc,

although criticising Corbyn is facing a verbal firing squad

What this country needs right now is a strong stable.

That comes into my head every time she says that, daphne.
Best put down I've heard today is that Theresa May daren't face a pensioner.

You shouldn't vote Tory if you are a woman.

Are you watching Questiontime?
Your strong stable has been mentioned twice so far in the first question.

Even Nick Boles, one of the better Tories, has said he's pleased to be back in the saddle after his brain cancer op. (It was a pi$$ take.)

"Asked on Radio Derby yesterday if she knew what a ‘mugwump’ was, Theresa May replied with the immortal words: “What I recognise is that what we need in this country is strong and stable leadership”. No wonder this bloke on BBC’s Question Time last night railed against the Tories’ “repetitive cliche virus”.

But in No.10 and Tory HQ they don’t mind any of these jibes as long as the message gets across time and again. And so far, May has largely stuck to stage-managed rallies in front of Conservative supporters rather than adopting Cameron’s PM Direct model of risking questions or interaction with actual members of the public. Last night, May was in a business centre in Leeds but one employee says the party waited until all the staff went home and the event was invite-only."

Why not to vote Tory. May is hiding more than she did in the referendum campaign.

A good phrase to remember - repetitive cliche virus.
It would be interesting to see which question gets strong and stable government as the silliest answer - if you see what I mean.

I don't think there could be any sillier answer to what is a mugwump, but the campaign has only just started.

Has anyone started a thread on should I vote UKIP?
Have I missed it?

"Meanwhile, UKIP leader Paul Nuttall has finally come out of his locked room and announced he will after all stand as a candidate in the general election. He will officially launch his party’s general election campaign today and may even let us in on the secret of which seat he wants to contest. Some thought he’d go for Leigh, but he’s campaigning in Hartlepool on Saturday, an area where the Kippers have some support."

From Huffpost.

Daphne, apparently the response to strong and stable is weak and wobbly. It will get shouted louder and louder as the weeks go on. She'll soon go back into hiding.

Reasons not to vote Tory unless you really want a hard Brexit.

Don't vote conservative if you care about the NHS.

Apparently the FT has said that Tory spin doctors have been complaining that the BBC has not been giving Corbyn enough coverage!

" But "strong and stable government" is a fantasy illusion of Britain's path for the last seven years - unless we set it in the context of a strong and stable housing crisis, a strong and stable NHS funding crisis, a strong and stable social care crisis, a strong and stable rise in the national debt, a strong and stable sense of alienation among swathes of the country, a strong and stable surge in Scottish nationalism, strong and stable confusion over the future of Northern Ireland, a strong and stable departure from our main trading relationship, a strong and stable fall in the pound, a strong and stable torrent of twaddle to explain it all away.

Speaking of twaddle, the latest gushing wave came yesterday, with May warning - or whining - that the remaining 27 EU members were "lining up to oppose" Britain in Brexit talks. Who'd have thought it - a membership organisation defending the interests of its members? "

Looks to me like they will be better off without him!
