Christmas Tree 5222 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 On 27/05/2017 at 18:14, Rayvin said: What swung you? Expand Well most of my voting life there's been not a great deal of difference between Labour and conservative. Lots of rhetoric on both sides but overall pretty similar. Centre left / right, both really fighting over the centre ground. Maybe my business background swayed me to the "torys know how to run things" view, particularly on the economy. This time, not only is there a massive choice, but Labours plans haven't been AS slated as I thought they would be and when I consider there borrowing plans, I also consider how much the Tories have borrowed. I'm thinking if the Torie's can borrow so much (which I'm unsure what it's spent on, Labour borrowing to improve a lot of stuff doesn't seem so daft. im also very pissed off with staff being employed by agencies and treated like shit. I trust Labour to address that more than tories. still concerned about the likes of Abbott, Mcdonell etc and Brexit, but on the balance of things I think Labour deserve a shot. I also think that if they don't get in now, It will then be back to centre politics. Boils down I suppose to an outlook of hope compared to dourness.

Ayatollah Hermione 14819 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I was quite optimistic about Labour closing the gap until Captain Bitch Tits up there got on board. You just can't let anyone have any fun, can you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 33655 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 I backed a Conservative minority government at 12/1. Thought it was a decent price for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said as soon as he was elected he would be a disaster for the Labour party and by extension the country, and I've been proved 100% correct. The fact he has been so ineffectual against a party imposing austerity led by Theresa Fucking May speaks volumes about the man. Charlatan sums him up perfectly.

Kid Dynamite 7824 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 All of it. The general themes of his policies/condemnation of the Tories haven't changed, they just get more headlines now because of the election. If anything it shows how many of his own party were charlatans trying to oust him when, if they had backed him sooner, it wouldn't be such a race against time to get him elected now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
