Ideology aside, they would be an absolute disaster for our youth.

What investor in his right mind would invest  in a country with such a left wing govt?

 

So, what do you suggest?

[ROTTERDAM1982]

Status quo.

What do you suggest?

Are you willing to sacrifice peoples futures to satisfy your presumed superior morality?

Unfortunately, that's being ripped apart and having racist graffiti scrawled over it's walls by the headline policy of the only viable alternative Government.

Nobody is being sacrificed by tory austerity though. Nothing to see here. Everything is grand.

[ROTTERDAM1982]

Do you think there is a need for a govt to be financially responsible for future generations, or do you think it should be feast today famine tomorrow?

If you assume (fairly) that most politicians are completely self serving and manifestos and pledges are largely lies that will be quickly ignored, you have to base your decision purely on what you experience.

So, if you work in education, the NHS, for the police, as a fire fighter or in practically any public sector role, if you work under a zero hours contract, you require disability benefits or were a woman born in the 50s, whether you're a former or current graduate or feel you need access to mental health services or end-of-life care and you'd STILL like more of what you have EXPERIENCED, then by all means - vote Conservative.

If, at this stage, practically any change is a gamble worth taking then just vote anyone else or spoil your ballot.

You think this government is financially responsible? Interesting.

That’s a really weird answer.

The party i wanted to vote for isn’t actually standing in my constituency. So I have a choice of four, one is a fake candidate that retweets racist bile so i won’t be voting for him. One is a proven liar that recommended for office a man he knew to have deliberately wrecked a rape trial, I won’t be voting for him. So I have a choice of Labour or Green. To vote Labour would be to endorse their record in Wales which is, to be straight, piss poor. So right now, I’m torn between Labour and Green. My heart says Green but I’d hate myself if the tory got elected by a single vote.

I’m not sure I have presumed I have moral superiority, I think you might be projecting your own issues there.

So, I’d suggest another hung parliament might be about the best outcome.

I could do a whole thing on sacrificing people’s futures to a right wing liar bully and fraud who backs leaving the EU solely as a vehicle for personal advancement. But you might presume I was being morally superior.

Not only are they retracting manifesto pledges the bastards have got a time machine.

[ROTTERDAM1982]

See point proven.

Your abhorrence to tories is enlightening.

The tories might not be ideal, but the alternative is frightening

I’m guessing he’s referring to Adding £800,000,000 to the national debt during austerity followed by finding the magic money tree 5 weeks before an election.

[bobzy]

These economists need to **** right off as well.  Everyone knows Labour governments just ruin the economy!!"!u31763121!!

 

"The Labour party received a boost on Tuesday when 163 economists signed a public letter offering broad support for its proposals for higher public investment to kick start growth and raise productivity. The letter published in the Financial Times lamented Britain’s poor economic performance of the past decade"

Im sure he appreciates you answering for him.

So if we added £800m then it wasn't austerity was it, so his claim is tenuous

[villakram]

Very disappointed by the lack of apologies for all the anti-semitism displayed around here...

Point proven? Enlightening? I’m not sure you’ve revealed anything terribly new in my dislike of the tories. Fairly confident I’ve mentioned it before.

But I’m struggling with this one, do you want a tory majority government or the status quo? I’m reading it like you’ve given two different answers.

[ROTTERDAM1982]

Youre easily convinced aren't you bozby?

You do realise the Tories are worse fiscally when compared to Labour in power. The facts speak for themselves. You have believed the age old lie
