But we all know what polls can be like! I'm waiting for the 'Queen' of lurkers to show up and bestow her wisdom!

As time goes on I'm warming to Corbyn. He is spot on about the failure of the "war on terror" and if he ends our involvement in it, I'm prepared to accept the increased tax for me personally and the risk for the economy. The risk from Labour is tiny compared to the risk from leaving the single market and I'm pretty confident that under Corbyn we would get Brexit "lite". Perhaps it's time to vote for honesty. May looks anything but "strong and stable".

Yes, as someone who did vote leave I'd not disagree. After being 'in' for the previous 40 years, an IN or OUT only option vote was pretty dumb. If you were 'so dissatisfied' after that relationship, frankly OUT was the logical outcome! It wasn't helped at all by the pre discussion Cameron had with Europe, when his Oliver Twist approach was met in the traditional manner. So, I think the Labour approach of seeing where we get with a sensible debate; as you'd have commercially with a recalcitrant mission critical service provider is indeed the right way forward. Arguably, the debate Cameron should have had!

Corbyn will win the GE. Lots of my colleagues who are normally blue are voting for him. Lunacy. They are fed up with austerity. Good luck. 8s with the bookies. Get on.

He will bring you. Inflation. Strikes. Mass immigartion. Diane Abbott. A pound that wont be worth a Euro. Riots. And mass unemployment.

And it will all be blamed on Brexit and not crazy spending.

Really?

Isn't inflation a mechanisim where you pay more and more yet get less and less in return? Sort of like Conservative management of local government on our own doorstep?

Isn't strikes an issue where strategic employees withdraw their labour for long periods and at random times to cause hideous inconvenience?
Sort of like Conservative management of the Southern Railway franchise?

Isn't the Pound valued by international free market tests?
Sort of like the reason why the Conservatives kept us out if the Euro?

Isn't Miss Abbott an MP who says stupid things and tries to play the TV personality just to attract attention?
Sort of like a Mr Boris Jobnson MP.

Isn't the immigration figure and boarder arrangements the responsibility of the Home Secretary; who should take the rap when they spiral.
Sort of like not trusting a previous Conservative Home Secretary who presided over sky high numbers and didn't do anything about it.

Isn't mass unemployment the price of a free market; state control of employment is known to push up labour costs and makes firms inefficient.
Sort of like what successive Conservative governments have preached since modern politics started.

Know your place!

Vote Theresa for strong and sable government; yes the Conservatives are even promising new fir coats!
