5 times already today.

The way he repeats the same phrases over and over reminds me of how a group of other people would repeat things like "blood and soil", "jews will not replace us" and "sieg heil" over and over.

I think it's a coping mechanism for him to only repeat politically correct stuff. At least until he gets the kind of government he wants.

Not sure how helpful that will be. The problem with election campaigns are the things they say they'll do but don't once in power, as well as what they don't say but end up doing.

Senior Labour figure tells me: don’t assume this election is definitely on. Big push by some Labour whips for party to vote against programme motion, hoping that Boris Johnson would pull the bill at that point

Labour voter here and will be voting for Jeremy Corbyn. However, I think all in the Labour camp are fully aware that we're unlikely to achieve much with this election. The party has been too undecided on Brexit and that is going to cost us dearly.

I expect that Jeremy Corbyn will step down immediately after the election. I'm very hopeful that Sir Keir Starmer will take the reins and totally re-structure the front bench.

I’ve voted once. Never again. Proved to be the shambles I always knew it was.

Politics in this country in particular is embarrassing. Although expect in the next ten years it will be shaken up massively by the youth.

I'm looking forward to seeing the faces of a large number of MPs who were elected on manifestos by the constituents in good faith. Who then did their best to do exactly what their manifesto pledge had said. As it finally dawns on them that the People have caught up with these duplicitous snakes via the thing they've been running away from.

The Ballot box.


Seeing Dominic Greive and Soubrey as the results are announced will be an early xmas present.

Cant wait.
I've read this repeatedly and still can't work out what Ringo is talking about. Can someone help me out?

Is he looking forward to seeing the faces of MPs who did their best to enact their manifesto pledges (although this doesn't tally with Ringo getting all upset with Labour MPs enacting their manifesto pledge of preventing a No Deal Brexit so it can't be that)?

Are the MPs who did their best to do what their manifesto pledge said the duplicitous snakes? Are they Greive and Soubrey [sic] as he wants to see their faces?

Because the poor would end up paying more tax or the country would get more into debt and the poor would shoulder the burden of the necessary spending cuts.

The politicians who would put this burden on the poor do indeed get my criticism.

Well yeah that's what they do but it's the same result - they dodge the tax (legally) and the burden falls, one way or another, onto somebody poorer.

That’s what I’m calling the ‘ pragmatic’ approach. If you genuinely want to help poorer members of society, why not give up your Mail, Sun, Telegraph agenda and help to redress the balance by supporting people who want the rich to understand how they can help society by paying their tax? Like l say, stop tax being a dirty word.

Universities teach students to think critically. If you think that critical thinking = left-wing indoctrination then it really says a lot about your views of what it means to be right-wing.

I meet lots of young people and I’m quite surprised by how balanced they are in assessing the political scene. Perhaps I shouldn’t be surprised because they have access to so much more information than we the older generations did.

They’ve also not forgotten Corbyn promised (or seemed to be promising) to return to free university places, and then after the election revealed they wouldn’t have been able to afford that.

I wonder if they put some of that loot into an illiberal anti Democrats election campaign push?
It’s not Jo Swinson’s ‘family business’ though is it. It’s an international organisation that her husband works for that won’t lose its funding just because the uk leaves the EU.

If you want proof that younger generations punish broken promises just look at the Lib Dem election tallies in 2010 and then 2015.

Older generations don't seem to punish broken promises like that.

I don’t think there will be a left and right as we know it. I think massive changes are coming. Not tomorrow. But in this next generation.

Our current system couldn’t be more alien to our youth. In fact it’s not even something that most of my generation buy into. Clearly. Given the stats.

They do but in a more subtle way, a wiser way, you tend to vote usually the same as your parents so the next generation punish it's just not as noticeable that's all.
