[Politics] The General Election Thread

[Westdene Seagull]

Well said, and the above is exactly why those who are considering voting Tory, should have a long, hard look at their motives for doing so.

And there we go again, the demonisation of people that decide to vote the other way.

I wonder who the silent majority will be voting for this election eh?

No demonisation, just a plain, simple reality.

I’m not considering voting Tory, also I genuinely respect whatever decision you make when voting [emoji106]

Learn what demonisation means

Ah the blindness of supporting a particular party ! I'd suggest people voting Labour need to consider who they are really voting for ( Momentum ), those voting for the Lib Dems need to consider their lies and past history ( student loans, PR voting, Bellotti, Norman Baker, LDC ), those voting Tory need to consider their austerity, the NHS and HS2, those voting Green need to consider the Greens utter incompetence in running Brighton council. Yet despite these points, I don't consider anyone voting for any party immoral, thick, xenophobic, racist etc. Maybe I'm just more mature than most.

You sir are very welcome.

Many Labour Party activists and supporters would do well to read..

It does seem a tad weird to do age restricted debates. After all, companies and business aren't allowed to discriminate on age by law, so why should political parties / broadcasters be allowed to do so ?

For some reason the largest private employer in Hastings seems to get by selling all it's holidays, insurance, financial services and healthcare products exclusively to the over 50's without being raided by Sussex Police and Ofcom haven't taken CBeebies off air for not being inclusive enough to people aged 7 years or older.

Oh, I quite agree that most (if not all) have had their fair share of bad moves/policies, but there really shouldn't be any doubt, any doubt whatsoever, that the current Tory party tops the leader board in all the the above, and far more.

Quite the contrary...………….

It's the Daily Mail and co that do the brainwashing, and the lying, and the fabrication of stories.

Ah, the Mail. As Jack Merritt's father said, a perpetrator of division, ignorance and prejudice. Much loved by a certain subset on here.

Horrendous stereotyping.

I would venture that many of those swerving purposefully away from Corbyn bankruptcy have never read such a rag.

That's funny - have you considered a career in comedy?

Not really. Why?

OK...here goes:

I’d like to start with the chimney jokes – I’ve got a stack of them. The first one is on the house.

Tell me where the stereotyping is. I merely pointed out that many on here appear to love a newspaper charged with perpetrating ignorance, division and prejudice. Are you saying they don't?

I've little time for Corbyn as it happens but the Conservatives' reliance on presenting him as a nursery book bogeyman suggests that they regard a large proportion of voters as being infantile.

Sauce?

As much as I want Corbyn's Labour to be annihilated on Thursday, I do feel sorry for Jonathan Ashworth, he looked visibly shell shocked when speaking about the leak.

Christ, with friends like that who needs enemies.

Corbyn chose him as a friend, it's his lookout. Et Tu, Brute?

Well, not quite infantile, but certainly student/graduate Guardian readers according to Jonathan Ashworth.

Spose so.
