If you look at the front pages of the right wing press today as well that explains why a lot of people will vote Tory.

Same right wing press that is owned by people who benefit personally in a significant way from having a Tory in Downing Street? Shock horror.

The main story appears to be the one about the Home Office (can't recall who was Home Secretary for 6 of the last 7 years - can anyone help?) letting one of the terrorists enter the country despite him being on a watchlist and being informed of this by the Italians.

F*ck me. We are well and truly through the looking glass.

Why just not go to vote in the first place then!

Because it disrespects the right to vote.

If I turn up I am counted. The count is an embarrassment and has been for years, even with FPTP being a reason. I heard an intelligent sounding guy on the radio the other day say none of his family had ever voted.

The ones that were fully costed, acknowledged to result in higher GDP growth than the Tories by Oxford Economics (albeit keeping debt higher for longer) and would actually result in some much needed investment in infrastructure?

What economics qualifications do you have out of interest?

Well I've taught business at GCSE level which is probably more than you have.

If the top five percent's money stuck around for you to tax it then you could say it was costed....but it won't.

Let me say this slowly for you once again....capital flight.

Hollande's incoming economic plan was costed as well.

No, but I can remember Labour's economically illiterate ones.

A blueprint for capital flight.


Thanks for that analysis. A bit more detail would be welcome. I have provided significant analysis on why your view is incorrect on this board in my opinion and I hope some open minded individuals have done some reading on this rather than listened to soundbites such as "magic money tree" or the like.

Not my job. Keep warm. Mr Funt will be in soon.

That is on the basis of everything remaining the same from Friday to 2020

A business whose taxes will be increased, and minimum wage increased as well as their directors no doubt being taxed more; with Brexit looming.

Ireland is looking more and more appealing.

I haven't looked into the costings of the Labour Manifesto. I know they are paying majority through Corporation Tax and 5p increase in higher earners (Anyone tell me what else they are doing?); is that enough to cover the near 100bn they will need, plus the potential divorce bill from the EU?

I thought so - the electorate are so stupid, they are unable to make up their own minds and make a considered decision - just like the referendum.

That's clearly what Gove et al thought.

In Australia, even in local elections, one has to vote else one is fined.Think it is 20 AUD for the first offence and 50 AUD thereafter.Believe the current exchange rate is about 1.6 AUD to £1.

You also get a sausage sizzle if you go and vote.

With Abbott, who is just taking a break due to illness but still running as a MP. Didn't she say they will not control immigration, whilst she sympathises with terror organisations? i.e. Every defeat for the British state is a victory, and voting against labelling Al Qaeda as a Terror organisation after 9/11.

You need more analysis on the fact that the money won't be there?

I repeat once again, capital flight. Something Labour can do nothing about and would happen the moment business realised Corbyn was coming in.

Where do you think all these people will go? Bear in mind the costings incorporate change of behaviour.

I would end up paying more in tax if Labour win but I won't be leaving. I'm more likely to leave if Tories win as I value public services and my wife works in the NHS and it's disheartening to see what Jeremy *unt and the Tories have done to it over the last 7 years and the direction of travel they are committing to.
