Indeed, you have to be some sort o loon to claim that the various invasions/interventions in the middle east have had a positive impact against terrorism.

Steady as she goes sounds a lot like strong and stable to me..

I realise that and our MP is the only Lib Dem MP in London currently.
I'd like to see an introduction of increased taxes for those who are expecting their children to receive free education. My wife and I have one child, and pay income tax/NI and council tax which feeds Education, to enable my son to receive primary and secondary education for free. However, people who have more children, don't pay any further into the welfare of education, yet receive education right the way through to 18 without any increased payment.
An interesting article on the state of education.

Build a country with a sound education footprint and you benefit the country in the future. An intelligent child, is a healthy child.

No it's not 7p a pupil for breakfast is fair, because we need to give MP's like Duncan-Smith £39 for his

I haven't used the NHS for over 20 years, so I think that I should get a lower tax bill. Also, I've had no reason to use the police, so my tax should go down for that as well. I also don't drive very much, so I should get a reduction compared to people who drive loads.
This whole election, like none since 1987, is like a caricature of British politics.
It is like 6th form political debate come to life - the hopelessly idealistic socialist on one side, and the heartless self-interested right, on the other.
I'll lean to the red corner, purely because I actually believe they have the best interests of the country at heart, despite misgivings over their competence. I honestly do not have that belief in our existing government. Depressing.

I still can't comprehend this.

A few weeks ago Queen Theresa was thinking this was going to an uncontested coronation with the lemmings and sheep giving her a majority of 100+ and now she is scrambling to hold on to seats and will be glad of a majority by fair means or foul

Having a referendum on the EU was brainless, strange times prevail...

He is, don't agree with everything the Greens stand for. But if you've got kids a decent candidate is well worthy of consideration. Has a fighting chance of becoming an MP
Not really, he's more than 20,000 votes behind Umunna - he's got a good chance of becoming third though. That's something to build on
Yes I do. They seem to be the only ones who understand that the Brexit process is going to be a long, hard struggle with an uncertain outcome - and want to address it. Consequently they are trying to prepare the ground for a number of years of austerity - and the way that we fund social care is part of the plan. It was a great pity that TM didn't have the nerve to see it through against the self-interest of those that would have to pay (ie the descendents of those needing care, as payment would only be after death). That wasn't Strong and Stable.
With JC I just don't see Brexit happening as they would be too busy trying to implement their insane policies and fighting their own fires to pay the attention needed to the EU (who would dance all around them). Also, there are too many of his team that would be happy to just give up.
For that reason, the only way we're going to see Brexit is if we vote Tory, and I hope enough people understand that.

So, we could get rid of the Tories AND not leave the EU. They've definitely got my vote then!
Have you any idea what you're talking about?
"However, people who have more children, don't pay any further into the welfare of education, yet receive education right the way through to 18 without any increased payment." You do know that the amount of income tax you pay depends on your earnings, don't you? So someone with 4 children may, or may not, be paying more tax than you.

On the contrary, it was a excellent idea. And now TM has the difficult job of making Brexit happen. I'm fairly sure JC would too,but I don't have much faith in his negotiation abilities, but we wold be betrayed by the PLP who almost to a man (or woman) are wholly with the LibDems and the Greens in wanting a second referendum in the hope that the electorate would change its mind.
They probably realise by now that enough remainers have come round to the 'get on with it' point of view now, so their beloved second referendum probably wouldn't get them the 'right' result - but if in power, I wouldn't trust them an inch - they would have no qualms about making sure Brexit didn't happen, regardless of the democratic will of the majority who voted in a straightforward In or Out referendum.

I have no kids and pay more tax than most - Give your idea, why on earth should I be paying for your child's education? Should I get a rebate?
