I agree. I think labour will inevitably win the next general election. If Corbyn wins more seats than Milliband I wouldn't be surprised if he stays on. Generally NO "Inevitability" in any of our General Elections. Edited by Willo (08 Jun 2017 10.30am)

What do people think the chances are of May being forced to step down if she doesn't achieve the landslide she was supposed to? Think there'll be many Tory back benchers plotting her demise already.

And I'll stress again and again and again. Nothing Corbyn has pledged is an attack on wealthy people. If any Tory voters could actually be arsed to read his proposals they might understand that but the only way to win the argument is by being hysterical instead of reasonably assessing what Corbyn is bringing to the table. This means nothing. Politicians will say anything to get in power.

May has never talked about any such 'Landslide'. Anyway, I have a very busy day, out 'Telling', Dropping people to the 'Polling Stations', at 'Committee Room' and much more so must go now ! Going to be a long day !!!! Edited by Willo (08 Jun 2017 10.36am)

I think it is highly likely that the Tory knives will be out as her campaign has been so incompetent.

Do spoiled votes get included in the percentage that is given for the number of people that voted overall? I think they do because I'm sure they give out figures of spoiled votes I ask this as I feel if someone doesn't know who to vote for, party they support isn't sitting in their constituency or perhaps they feels 'it's not worth as they don't tell you the truth' you should go and vote in some way even though it will be spoiled like - ticking more than one box, write down the party if they are not there and tick next to it or even write on the slip 'not worth voting'. I say this because you can say you went and voted, this may seem pointless as it will be spoiled but I feel its better that doing nothing.
The pyramid to beat all pyramids!! Find out what team is in which division, eg which division is Coppull United in? |

The Labour manifesto makes a lot of spending promises, and seems highly unlikely they'll be able to deliver on much of it, but to pledge all of that without any attempt to explain where the money would come from would just be tantamount to saying "we have no plan". Heart says "wouldn't it be great if they could deliver", head says "not a snowball's chance in Hell" (I still voted for them though, for the first time in over 30 years at voting age)
