Before you vote today I urge you to read this. It's short and am easy read.

This is from a Nobel laureate who is an expert in both micro economics and economics of globalisation and has done a lot of work in investigating the economics of inequality.

I will never understand why the idea of investing to grow is such a hard concept for the far right to understand, especially when the last labour government saw the longest period of uninterrupted growth in British history until Iraq and the crash. One thing that seems clear to me is the simple fact that austerity doesn't work.

Yeah I think the hysteria seen in every general election is quite embarrassing. I am of the opinion we have 2 genuinely very different prospects for the first time in a while though. Whilst I don't see May as the leader of the "evil Tory crooks", I do think she's shown real indifference and a lack of urgency with regards to issues in the country, more than anything I think it's just a case of ignorance. She also has appeared to be completely disinterested with this whole campaign and I think the electorate wanting answers beyond brexit negotiations has caught her massively off guard, exposing many frailties in the process. My reasoning behind voting for Corbyn is the implementation of some form of change as I fear at the moment we are abandoning many of our core values for the sake of not very much. The effect of 7 years austerity on communities and public services isn't to be understated and I fear for the prospects of many if this continues for another 5 years. RE him appearing charismatic, Farage is a very charismatic guy too hence his ability to gain a following so as you said I'm not sure if that really means anything, what's consistently impressed me about Corbyn is that he comes across as genuine above anything else and has stood by his policies regardless of the onslaught he's received by the mainstream press and also the tories. I think anyone given the media coverage he's received over the past 7 or so weeks would've been dead and buried now and I think the staunchest Tory would find it hard to argue he hasn't shown resilience. Regardless, I cannot see the possibility of even a hung parliament which is a shame, I think had this election been in 2020 the ending of the story may well have been very different!

And I've explained in detail in a previous post why that is nothing more than scaremongering nonsense. Bring some facts to the table instead of just desperately spouting what the daily mail and Sun told you.
