May has a clear plan for the security of our country and the future of the navy as her answers make clear here

Shows how dim northerners are if the majority of them vote conservative, they're the reason you have no work and live in a slum!

Well seeing as Abbott could be in charge of security maybe she could throw a few figures in a plan eh.
All the North was strong Labour for years, going right back. Did not do them a lot of good did it. Actually i lived up the Midlands, in my trade they get the same JIB rate, houses, council tax, food and beer etc is all cheaper, they do not have it bad.
She's now so toxic that she won't answer questions at all, that's if she turns up instedd of sending a recently bereaved colleague instead.

If the pole is accurate then that's a huge swing to Labour from 2015 in London. Was 9.2 in 2015 and that pole now has them 17 points ahead. As original post said that was effectively see them wiped out in the Capital. London is basically a Labour city but this would still be a huge swing if true.

Except the previous poll on here had Conservatives massively ahead. The current one does not, agreeing with the national trend of the Conservatives becoming less popular.
I was interested to see if there would be any further change in a NSC poll. Obviously it's not going to be reflective of national opinion!

I know they used to all be labour soul, I'm just throwing some grenades into the mix, just catching up on the BBC debate last night, they've sort of merged the weakest link with question time..

I'm still undecided.
Conservatives have cut too much, we've had austerity for Seven years and the national debt has got higher and higher.
Labour are promising the world and I don't think they can deliver, they're promising too much too soon.
But it really is a two horse race this time, there's no serious alternative.
I can't see myself voting Conservative, so it's Labour by default.
Anyway I live in Arundel and South Downs so my vote makes no difference.

Living up in the North East, in proper old Labour heartland, I can tell you that there is not a lot of love for Corbyn. Perhaps partly motivated by the Brexit vote, most of this region was vehemently leave, but there is talk of the Tories having a decent shot at a couple of seats up here - Hartlepool and Sedgefield in particular. There was huge surprise that the new metro mayor of Teeside, voted for in the recent local elections, was the Tory candidate.
Fair enough WD, beware the myth that Labour are the party for the working class, they have done very little for the North, who are waking up.

strong and stable with me, or...
Because 7 years of austerity and Tory policy hasn't worked. The economy hasn't grown as they've predicted. The deficit has grown and grown despite promise after promise of this approach bringing it down. Our key services continue to be cut along with tax breaks for the wealthiest companies and persons in the country. People are seeing through the 'strong stable' mantra, and aren't just looking at Corbyn, they are looking at other politicians and economic experts and thinking, believing that we can afford to tax our biggest businesses and wealthiest a bit more (all voters, former Tory voters saying it themselves on this thread), that we can afford to contribute more into our services, our education and NHS, and that there is a different approach to the one that hasn't worked for 7 years.
It was Project Fear for Brexit, it is now Project Fear v2.0 such as your own post for this General Election. This attitude that the alternative is oblivion just isn't washing with voters.
The Tories will likely win, but may well have a smaller majority than before, and May will be severely weakened given she called this to extend her majority. It is a powerful democratic message that the Tories need to listen, need to compromise and demonstrate the ability to show flexibility toward more centrist policies and more progressive tax strategies.
Perhaps they have a better understanding of the words "anarchy" and "oblivion" than you do?
Do you think they are aware that the Tories have been in charge for the last 7 years?
