MrsT2 (well more like MrsT0.1 !)
True blue all the way (and in all probabilities a clear win unless a major clanger or 2 like the Russians start cyber-interfering!)

Re: The UK Election
Politics is a game, the people who rise are those who play the game better than others. They are not in it to make a difference to our lives. Understand and accept it for what it is.

Got to be May surely. I can't take any of the other leaders seriously.

Plus homophobia, whoever it comes from, is an unattractive trait.

Re: The UK Election
OK I give up - who exactly does 'some closet homosexual' refer to?

Whoever the billionaire media owners tell me to vote for (obviously they're looking after my interests, of course).

Re: The UK Election
Managed to get Labour minority at 20/1 and majority at 20/1. Had waited too long to enjoy the 25/1 that was always going to come in, but never mind.
2million register to vote
The number of young people registering is the highest of any age group.
And
In six out of the past seven days, applications have exceeded 100,000. Of those applying to vote each day, nearly 40% have been under-25s
Too many of these young helmets are going to believe the crap on Facebook and seem Corbyn as some sort of saviour. Champagne socialists at their absolute destructive worst.

Unfortunately for May, nobody is really passionate about her or the Tory manifesto. You've got a few diehard Corbyn fans that will be rallying for him and trying to bring on the impressionable 'yoof' vote.
There's already the #GrimeforCorbyn movement ffs...

Decent odds, it's still a bit of a far shot but worth a punt.

Look at the recent movements. It's not out of the realms of possibility is it?
Brext, Trump, Corbyn.
Shit happens in 3's.

I am not saying Corbyn is a saviour (he's not) but Labour are not all bad and the Tories are very far from all (or even mostly) good.

Re: The UK Election
Alternatively, too many people are believing the propaganda put out by the right wing press. Look who owns the main UK newspapers and consider their agenda. You are doing exactly what you are pillorying others for doing but from a different source.

Neither Labour or Conservative are all good or bad but the ease at which anti-Tory posts can be picked apart is worrying, because so many people nowadays see a picture / post / quote / headline and believe they know the entire story.
Don't forget it's the 'Sun wot won it', perfect example of a paper picking a side and influencing elections for decades. Not surprising it still happens.
