Which MPs would you really love to lose their seats? For me - Zac Goldsmith, Jeremy Hunt for starters.

LesleyC Thu 08-Jun-17 14:53:23

Oh and that awful creepy whisperer Barry Gardiner.

mostlyharmless. Are you kidding me? Diane Abbott is appalling and useless. She talks rubbish and never knows the figures. I hope she gets the sack along with Jeremy Corbyn who would be a total disaster as Prime Minister.

Not Jacob Rees-Mogg, he's is amusing and inftelligent.
I'd just like a change in the voting system. It's almost a waste of time voting in a safe seat in the first past the post system.

All heart, aren't you, Peaseblossom?

Diane Abbott will almost certainly retain her seat, but her future depends on her health.

I would love Priti Patel to lose her seat and Esther McVey to fail to win Tatton. If Boris Johnson, Jeremy Hunt and Liam Fox were to lose, I'd be in seventh heaven. Oh, add Amber Rudd to that list.

Oh not Esther McVey back please,

daphnedill Thu 08-Jun-17 19:31:48

She's been parachuted into Tatton, Osborne's old seat.

I don't know what the residents of Tatton do to get such MPs. Neil Hamilton was once their MP.

I hope Esther McVey wins a seat back.

At least she doesn't practice the ' Kinder Politics' of ' The Joker ' John McDonnell and will not find it amusing for anybody to find it amusing to call for opposition MP's to be 'lynched' or call them "A stain on humanity".

No one practices Kinder Politics than McDonald, but his deeply offensive verbal attacks shouldn't be criticised , he said - I am a naughty boy , so expects us to laugh

Residents of Tatton had Martin Bell for MP

Chewbacca Thu 08-Jun-17 21:23:01

I have no time for Esther McVey but calling her, or any other woman "a cow", isn't constructive criticism or rational debate, it's just abuse.

FarNorth Thu 08-Jun-17 22:32:14

I agree, Chewbacca

Anya Thu 08-Jun-17 22:46:20

I agree too. Disgraceful sexism - and from a woman too.

Not acceptable DD!
