Basically she's pretty right wing. In fact if you just read her voting record and didn't tell anyone who you were describing they'd swear blind you were describing one of Cameron's cronies. Moderately socially liberal and extremely economically right wing.RedO wrote: ↑Thu Oct 31, 2019 9:54 pm https://www.theyworkforyou.com/mp/11971 ... hire/votes
Strewth, doesn’t make pleasant reading does it.
Who will you be voting for?

Re: Who will you be voting for?
I'm a lefty by inclination, but because of my heritage I can never bring myself around to vote for Corbyn. Even if you believe (erroneously) that he is some kind of benevolent old man I dislike the cult that surrounds him. And his 'followers' and the ones behind the scenes that pull the strings are truly vile individuals. John Mcdonnell and Seamus Milne are, well I can't even put into words how much I despise them class traitors.

Who thinks this?Even if you believe (erroneously) that he is some kind of benevolent old man
Do you understand what a cult is? Because I don't think you do.I dislike the cult that surrounds him
I assume you have some evidence of this.And his 'followers' and the ones behind the scenes that pull the strings are truly vile individuals.
Milne is certainly a class traitor. He is from an affluent family and by rights should be a self-serving, elitist kleptocrat. But he isn't. Instead he his politics is about wealth and power redistribution, which is against his own economic and power interests. Seems like a progressive kind of class treachery, no?John Mcdonnell and Seamus Milne are, well I can't even put into words how much I despise them class traitors.
As for John McDonnell...how much more working class can you get? How exactly is he a class traitor? I'm not saying a case couldn't be made. Certainly from my perspective as an Anarchist I would say that all Social Democratic parties are detrimental to the class struggle but it doesn't sound like that is the perspective that you're coming from. So, in what way is John McDonnell a class traitor in your view?

Re: Who will you be voting for?
I think both parties could suffer serious fractures in their votes, but its to what degree. If you look at the Brexit results map then then the farther away from London you looked the more pro-Brexit they were. You could add it up to any number of meanings. I don't think the pollsters will have a clue - but they are going to have a field day guessing!tuffers#1 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 31, 2019 10:23 pmI think Boris is in for a shock .LittleMate wrote: ↑Thu Oct 31, 2019 10:15 pm The election is going to be a really interesting vote.
Will the youth mobilise again and vote (generally against the tories)? Will the turnout be high (tends to favour labour)? Or will the apathy play into tory hands, plus will Brexit split traditional party lines and what does that do for voting in the regions.
This will be an election like no other in the past 2 generations. I'm sure Boris will get the most votes, but will he get enough - and will Labour get enough to stop him?
Farage is proper bregzit
Theyll take plenty of votes from the stories.

Re: Who will you be voting for?
I note from this morning's news that the leader of the extreme far right proto fascists a Mr N Farago of Imbecility is proposing an alliance of some sort with the extreme far right Tory Party.
Presumably the plan is to stand in Labour seats only to siphon off Labour leave voters. It won't work. Even Labour leavers won't vote to keep the Tories in. Their gut instinct and residual class allegiance will be the deciding factor.

No surprise . I’ll be voting for the Brexit Party. As far as I’m concerned all three main political parties can hold hands and jump off a cliff.

Re: Who will you be voting for?
The majority of my mates who drink in the supporters club and sit with me in the west side are Conservative voters.
They make me feel I am doing something wrong supporting the Labour Party.
I now pick my games and mates.

Sad if you pick you’re mates based on how they vote. That implies politics and politicians have power over you. They should not. We are all autonomous individuals. All governments want to do is manipulate you. F the state.

Re: Who will you be voting for?
What utter garbage you talk, I pay my way, opted to educate my children privately at considerable cost (freeing up spaces in the state system) have private health insurance thus saving the NHS , in my case, well over 100k in the last fifteen yearsEat The Rich wrote: ↑Thu Oct 31, 2019 7:30 am I have no faith in the system what so ever but the prospect of a Tory government will probably always be sufficient to motivate me to vote for the least worst option and that'll be Labour. I will never understand how someone can vote Tory. It seems a tacit admission that the poor/vulnerable are scum and deserve to be tormented whilst the least good amongst us, those who would gladly bleed an essential public service dry and to hell with the social consequences are showered with sycophantic reverence and tribute.
I work voluntarily for a charity and support the homeless . I don’t see how this ‘bleeds the essential public services dry’. Please explain.

Re: Who will you be voting for?
It is totally irrelevant who your friends vote for and IF anyone is ridiculed for voting a different way they are not proper friends. I have many friends who have very different views to mine. That’s life and I’m very happy with it. Nothing better than a healthy disagreement whilst eating or drinking but ultimately we all respect each other’s views. Get a life!
