But I was responding to your specific point " But IMO the Brexit negotiations are the most important factor over the next 5 years, and I think May would do a better job than Corbyn."
We're talking about one leader's ability to negotiate Brexit being better than the other and I don't see what...
Why? He is the better speaker. Most would agree that his campaign has been better than hers as indicated by the Tory lead being reduced significantly. People do not turn out to listen to her speeches, unlike Corbyn she has not given the UK electorate any sort of articulated vision of the...
I think you're wrong. The onus is on the UK - we've voted to leave, it is we and not them who are screwing with people's lives. The UK could unilaterally make this call, I believe it would be the the correct and humane thing to do. I believe that having made that call the EU would reciprocate...
Theresa May's whole election strategy is based on the British electorate showing a complete blind act of faith on her, backed up by a heavy critique of her opponent. No need for plans, costings or appearances on TV debates, just ape Maggie Thatcher, call Corbyn a cvnt and it's job done.
Obviously the government are not going to publish a detailed blue print of their battle plan, and nobody is expecting that, but we don't know ANYTHING about what they intend to reveal over the negotiating table, and that year of "information vacuum" has done great harm to the EU nationals that...
His links were known but firmly IN THE BACKGROUND as he set the political agenda with his policies on NHS, education, social care that really began to resonate with voters. This was reflected in the polls that all showed the gap narrowing significantly.
Since the terrorist attacks security is...
OK, I will:
1. Don't play politics with the EU nationals that are already here - we need their labour, they are obviously going to be allowed to stay anyway.
2. Give some indication of how you think the EU might give us a free trade deal when it appears completely counter-intuitive to their...
The terrorist atrocities were a game-changer for Theresa May. She was on the ropes over the dementia tax but then fate dealt her a trump card - security, the chance to put soldiers and police armed to the teeth on our streets, to talk up Corbyn's IRA sympathies and record of voting against...
I think that had the Clegg of 2010 been leading the Lib Dems today it would have been a different story. The choice of Farron was due in part to his Northern roots and perceived ability to take support from the Labour vacuum. That plan has backfired as Corbyn's manifesto and oratory has struck...
I think Theresa May will win but she won't get the landslide many predicted 6 weeks ago, but she'll be baled out by the returning Ukippers and end up with a majority of c. 35 seats.
That said, Labour has run a far better campaign than the Tories and I suspect their message will have resonated...
