I'm not a gran. However I have absolutely adored your politics threads. I'm still very undecided but I've been so educated here.

The political posts on the forums aimed at my groups never go this well.
On BC the torrid get called murders and then the lefties just chat for 40 pages.
They were absolulty shocked that the conservatives won the election because there were so many lefties there. The reality it turned out that there were a lot more Tories but they were just afraid to post.
Here it's so level and reasonable.

Why do you say 'what do we know' Luckygirl?

James was asking for views and opinions, which is what you have done.

Well TM wants it to a vote to endorse her approach to Brexit.

There are others who would like to see it as an opportunity to vote for compassion and justice - but what do we know?

If you think the public is out of touch with reality, then how about the government who appear to have no concept whatsoever of how the other half lives?

Haha! Unbiased? Every single answer you get will be biased James from all of us.
Brexit comes into this GE big time, and those who don't see it may well be out of touch with reality.
The biggest single thing though is the Corbyn effect ,not nearly enough voters see him as a PM, and not nearly enough voters want a far left Government.

I have only been on Gransnet a few weeks, but I have been most impressed with the articulate level of debates, one or two have been rather catty ( may I use that expression ?) but the majority of comments are very enlightening in their expression of views about the debates going on around this election and the reasons for calling same.

Our newspapers are so biased it is almost impossible to obtain a factual unbiased report. The political parties propaganda is appalling, yet influences millions of electorates.

I am now getting the feeling that the electorate are out of touch with reality and almost brainwashed. One simple question please, is this election a vote of support for Brexit or remain,or what it should be, that is a decision on political caring and needed policies we desire to be implemented by Parliament over the next five years?

I await your wise and honest unbiased views.
