The 2019 General Election

[andysays]

I'd be happy to vote for George Galloway and have him represent urban75 in Parliament.

I hope you would at least check that he has a proper lock on his bathroom door first

 

[MrSki]

There must be something uncomfortable in the report for Johnson otherwise it would get published.

 

[binka]

Was thinking this myself. The most pleasing result all round would be no change whatsoever.

Roughly no change would be very funny but it would be even better if the Tories lost a dozen or so and all those lib dem defectors got booted out. Maybe labour can gain ten to keep Corbyn in for another go round

Something really annoying like five less Tories and two less DUP. Just so the remainers can't turn up and cancel A50 but Johnson remains absolutely fucked.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Something that puts Corbyn in no.10. Anything less than that is just shit, and may well mark a point at which everything starts getting even worse.

I've no doubt he'll be a disappointment in power, but it would be a thing to see after the fucking shitcunts who've been made PM for decades.

Huge boost for Brexit as ‘People’s Vote’ campaign civil war explodes with legal threats.

THE civil war which has enveloped the anti-Brexit ‘People’s Vote’ campaign intensified on Friday with threats of legal action from employees and accusations of intimidation

 

[MickiQ]

The inertia has certainly not been worse than what came before. The Tories have been distracted from enacting new ways to fuck with everyone and despite Brexiteer wet dreams the country barely batted an eyelid at the 31st passing by without leaving.

The nearest thing to public disorder round here was the number of kids knocking on the door to extort sweets out of us.

 

[Steel Icarus]

So we're still in the EU and Boris is not in a ditch. That's the opposite of what I wanted.

Nor indeed dead...given that he didn't do.

Ah! One of those cake and eat it types

 

[Proper Tidy]

Horribly cynical this, chuck a few pennies at the poorest that even by usual standards you've brutalised for a decade because it's an election, cunts

Farage has announced he'll not be standing in the election.

Shame, it would have been nice to see him lose again.

I expect a Tory "promise" of shit loads of spending in all areas

 

[MickiQ]

The govt (regardless of who they are) has an automatic advantage in that they can do stuff rather than just say stuff but the short notice this time means their options other than probably empty promises is limited.
There is absolutely nothing stopping them from raising benefits in 2020 only to bang another freeze on in 2021
I don't think this will win them many votes and let's face it anyone on benefits who votes Tory because they have been given a few extra crumbs just this once really is beyond help

It’s that 2010 Lib Dem strategy again, when they’re forced into a coalition post-election suddenly all promises vapourise and it’ll be back to ‘tough choices’ again.

 

[maomao]

It's fair enough for then to run to govern the country. A platform of 'please be a hung parliament so we might get a couple of ministerial cars out of it' or 'vote for us to let the Tories in' would get them even less votes than they'll get anyway.

Just think of the money! Clegg who was against this once upon a time is now strangely for it.

Facebook will allow UK election candidates to run false ads - CNN

A libdem going back on their principles

 

[brogdale]

A reasonably sensible account of attempting to use polling to predict seat outcomes on Political Betting . Author concludes:

If I had to guess, I’d now predict a Tory majority of 15-30 overall, but anything from 60 to minus 30 and a Labour minority government looks perfectly credible. Do your own research, but despite the feverish atmosphere I’d bet against larger changes either way.

 

[MrSki]

Remember to read the smallprint. Fucking cheek of it.

 

[cupid_stunt]

They have no shame.

Ceausescu offered to increase wages by 20% during his final public appeareance in Bucharest. Thtat worked out well for him. lets hope these election handouts get a similar response

Another Tory MP quits.

Minus the helicopter.

Jeremy Corbyn has written to me personally and asked me to write his manifesto for him:
***
Dear Kabbes

We could have a Labour Government by Christmas!

The General Election on 12 December gives us all a once-in-a-generation chance for real change in this country. In the coming weeks we will be publishing our election manifesto setting out our proposals.

Labour is a movement, and our strength comes from us all working together. That's why I want to hear your priorities for our manifesto.

Help write our manifesto today
How do you think we can best tackle the climate and environmental emergency, or rebuild our public services? How can we end the scourge of poverty, or create a world of peace and human rights? Share your thoughts now, and together we'll make our movement even stronger.

***

What suggestions shall I give?

 

[Supine]

Suggest he shows some leadership and sets out a manifesto himself?

Strict enforcement of any previous ditch-based commitments.

Tell him to read some Marx. People call him as Marxist, so he may as well start being one.
