But I run my own business and labour have said they will heavily increase taxes on all business profits to pay for their big spending plans. Now why should I work my ass off, help employment etc and then get kicked in the bollox like that?
As a result - I am predicting a blue majority of 91.

Don't you care about all the people earning far less than you but equally working their arse's off that are going to even worse off?

It varies, you can't generalise like that.
I've seen the full numbers behind endless businesses. Many businesses pay far better that they could get away with, especially with cheap EU Labour. They care about their staff.
Whilst I've seen others who are making massive profits, lie to staff that times are still hard and take advantage of the post-2008 economic flatness, to rarely or never give pay rises to loyal staff, year after year.
I would say that most business people work hard, long hours and are stressed with the worries, finding it hard to ever switch off.

That's a fine speech. Only problem is that last line
This is from YouGov's latest which shows the best figures for Labour:
I think maybe you're out of touch with our grandparents' generation.

Of course but you seem to think business owners and other rich people should pay for crazy labour spending like they have always done throughout history. With corporation tax and tax on dividends I already pay 50% of profits made - tell me why business owners should pay another 5%?

To be honest, I could almost accept a Tory victory if it meant the demise of May and the return of Nick Clegg. Corbyn has done an amazing job, but not quite good enough. For a few weeks it looked like May was really going to implode, but she got lucky (apologies for the use of that word) with the London Bridge attack....which enabled her to have another last ditch appeal to UKIP and the far-right nutters who will no doubt cement her victory tomorrow.

Yes, currently, but I'm voting Labour there though, so I'm naughtier than Theresa May in a Wheat field.

You're predicting it because you want it to happen? How does that work? On that basis, I am predicting a top ten finish for the Albion next season.
Prediction: 47 seat Tory overall majority.
But then, I also thought we'd need 92 points to be top two.

I predict a significant proportion of people on NSC won't accept the result as Tory voters didn't know what they were voting for and will argue for a second General Election asap.

I'm more worried about the civil war in Hastings.
