Re: Election Poll
She's not my favourite person, but over the years Stella has knuckled down and developed into a reasonably okay constituency MP.Proposition Joe wrote: ↑Wed May 22, 2024 7:27 pm Probably vote Green, TUSC or whoever else is standing that's left-ish. Same constituency as CEB (I think?) so basically a protest vote as the Labour MP is safe as houses.

Re: Election Poll
Not knocking her record as a fairly decent constituency and campaigning MP. Don't like her personally but voted for her last time round, just won't be voting Labour this time.Dunners wrote: ↑Wed May 22, 2024 7:49 pmShe's not my favourite person, but over the years Stella has knuckled down and developed into a reasonably okay constituency MP.Proposition Joe wrote: ↑Wed May 22, 2024 7:27 pm Probably vote Green, TUSC or whoever else is standing that's left-ish.

Re: Election Poll
Yeah, I also agree she’s a decent constituency MP, and I’ve voted for her in the past several times.
Despite at times being (occasionally slightly tongue in cheek) broadly supportive of Labour’s need to draw a line under the Corbyn era, I think they’re too far away from what the Labour Party should be for me to happily vote for them and add to a likely landslide.
Predictably, Stella’s views on gender identity mean I can’t in good conscience vote for her this time, and can’t transfer my vote to a party with similar views

Re: Election Poll
Of course not It is a very different Labour Party in 2024 now that anti-semitism is taken seriously and apologists like Corbyn, Abbott amd McDonnell have been called out.Proposition Joe wrote: ↑Wed May 22, 2024 7:53 pmNot knocking her record as a fairly decent constituency and campaigning MP.

Must be challenging for you to recognise that.

Re: Election Poll
Got FoF on mute so no idea what his reply to my post says but safe to assume it's more unhinged drivel, probably mentioning Corbyn.
Re: Election Poll
I’m going to take it on trust that you haven’t read his post, so im gonna challenge you. I bet you can successfully guess three other words or names he usedProposition Joe wrote: ↑Thu May 23, 2024 9:15 am Got FoF on mute so no idea what his reply to my post says but safe to assume it's more unhinged drivel, probably mentioning Corbyn.

Re: Election Poll
Genuinely haven't, he's chuntering into the void.
Not sure I can guess three because there's only one other thing he posts about, so I'll go with "anti-Semitism" (and specifically that I'm a fan of it). Close?

Re: Election Poll
The country has been through a lot in the last few years, the country voted narrowly to leave the EU and the doom and gloom merchants predictions did not come to pass. Then the Covid epidemic, the migrant crisis affecting the whole of the EU and the UK then to cap it all, the Russian invasion of Ukraine which affected food, fuel and energy prices in most of the world. Would any government have handled all those factors any better than the Tories...very much doubt it !! I have a friend in Germany who as a foreign student used to live and study in the UK and she complains about much the same things happening in Germany as we do in the UK. She works in a big financial company and wants to come back to the UK, much preferred it here. Her husband is a Nuclear physicist who also studied in the UK.

Re: Election Poll
The seat where I live is a Labour/SNP marginal because of boundary changes. I reckon Labour will win it. But neither of them will get my vote.
I will vote for a socialist candidate and if there isn't one I won't bother my fat arse.

Re: Election Poll
So what Sidney. That scare tactic doesn’t work this time. There is no Corbyn waiting in the wings, just another globalist in Starmer.
