General Election 2017

[Ernest]

The exit poll is normally a very good indicator .. announced at 10pm, bring your tissues.

What did the 2015 exit poll say ? What about last years referendum exit poll ?

We have poll after poll on here, it is never go to show the outcome. Labour were due to win the last elections, according to the polls on here, Remain was going to easily win, according to NSC, and now Labour are in front again.
The Brighton area and NSC do not reflect nationwide, same as the audience last night, the board is loaded with far left leaning posters.

Your right, NSC is no way reflective. If Labour somehow manage to get in, then all I will say is people have short memories. Secondly we need to be prepared to eventually wave goodbye to Brexit, because there are far too many people in that party who voted Remain and will pressure Corbyn to reverse it. Once again there will be many people who feel cheated under a Labour government.

People of Hastings do your job and vote for anyone but her

Someone in the know tells me Hastings & Rye Conservative Association think they've got nothing to worry about apparently. We'll see. I've also heard a not insignificant number of them personally really can't stand Ms Rudd either.

The 2015 exit poll was spot on. There was no EU referendum exit poll.

There are many people who feel cheated by each and every government. Ain't it always the way? Our political parties always argue over the same problems. You'd have thought that between them they could have fixed them by now.

Are there not far too many in The Conservtives then? Not sure exactly which ones are standing next Thursday, but I suspect plenty:

It showed the Tories had done far better than the GE campaign polls had indicated and even underestimated their support. See 2005 General election exit poll ,see 2010 General election exit poll.

His stance on the Falklands says to me that he would be weak for the UK on EU talks.

FURIOUS Falkland Islanders have branded Jeremy Corbyn a “hypocrite” over his pledge to give up British sovereignty in a power-sharing deal with Argentina.
Dick Sawle, a former Member of the Island’s Legislative Assembly, said "How can a politician who clams to care so much about human rights blatantly ignore the most fundamental human right of all – the democratic will of a sovereign people "......
http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/60...hypocrite-Argentina-pledge-power-sharing-deal

You love the Express.

Michael Summers who is actually on the legislative assembly put Corbyn's comments into perspective, and Labour are steadfast on self-determination. The only difference is that Corbyn has said he is prepared to listen to Argentina, and entertain a dialogue so that any proposal that might be mutually beneficial can be put to the people of the Falkland Islands. In fact, it is the Legislative Assembly that has welcomed a peace delegation from Argentina this year. There is also ongoing human rights cases in Argentina regarding the torture of their own soldiers by their officers during the conflict itself. No one is saying the Falkland Islanders shouldn't decide, but it might be within their interest to have a dialogue because their economy could benefit from trade agreements, tourism, migrant workers etc. Still theirs to determine.

Or look at it as something to spin into something else.

As opposed to anyone under the age of 25 being ****ed over by the current government

YouGov has Hastings and Rye leaning Labour at the moment.

Which party brought in tuition fees, that certainly helped the under 25's.

I was talking to my 18 year old nephew tonight on everyday stuff, got on to the politics subject and really amazed me with his knowledge of what is going on, with the run up to the GE.
He will be voting Labour, does not trust TM and all she stands for.
I'm proud that he has his mind set on something, rather than the usual youth of today not giving a toss

Good for him.

But, I think you (and perceived wisdom) do 'the usual youth of today' a huge disservice.

The wrong thing to have done. No reason a party cannot right its wrongs.

I read that this morning in The Times too. H&RCA are confident though. I wouldn't want to put money on it.

 

[nicko31]

And you put yourself forward as a supporter of the "caring" party. I reckon that £300m is a "dot" on our finances, we could even include it as foreign aid if it would sit better with you.

Yes caring for those in need, the £300m could be better used elsewhere.

 

[Soulman]

The wrong thing to have done. No reason a party cannot right its wrongs.

Maybe many remember the promises they made before they got elected last time. Many things that get blamed on the current government were actually brought in under Labours watch, tuition fees being one of them, food banks also.

 

[midnight_rendezvous]

There's a huge difference between being in debt by circa £9,000 (three full years at Uni under the old costs - which is coincidently the cost of ONE academic year at University now) and in debt by £27,000 (the new cost for three years at Uni). Labour may have introduce them but the Tories have tripled them.

 

[Soulman]

I thought your caring party looked after people, these people in the Falklands are our own.....oops forgot, Labour tend to bleat about care here whilst prepared to give billions to countries that have nuclear weapons and space progs and despot leaders who pocket the cash.

Granted, but a bit hypocritical to put blame on others on a policy introduced by the party blaming and moaning.

The current administration have NOT been doing exactly that, then?
