I loathe the lot of them, including that of the Conservatives - who I'll probably be voting for; the whole of the bl**dy thing is a poorly orchestrated show that only idiots would fall for.

Anyone who wants to see this sort of rubbish will go to the conference of their party of choice or look online, there is no need for any of them to be broadcast nationally.

10% compulsory robbing of shareholding for "workers" (but held by the Government) for any publicly listed Co over 250 employees with the promise of a £500 dividend for said "workers" There'll fast be a lot that won't go over that threshold and will become private I reckon

Of course you are correct. Populist type of rubbish you get peddled from the left particularly when you have the extreme right peddling another kind of pupulism, which is sure to make workers poorer.
It’s now a political reverse auction.

There all a load of raving loonies, its a shame we cannot send all labour supporters off to there own little island and let them get on with it !
What a fudging mess they would make, bloody great big fence around them and don't let them out.
Sometimes on Fb you come across some really far out bulls**t stuff, if you go onto the posters profile you can guarantee you'll see an "I support labour " which pretty much sums them up !!

The thing is, their supporters will be saying exactly the same thing about all the other parties.

You could change your entire post and substitute Labour for Tories,and,"what a f**king mess they are making",and it would be equally true!

They might be, but they have to live in some twisted fantasy land if they cannot see Corbyn for the loon he is and Diane Abbott what a fecking joke she is,saw her being interviewed she's a bloody embarrassment .
Considering the position they both hold there not exactly a good advertisement for labour.
But know doubt it's Jeremy's take money off the people that work and put it in the pockets of the workshy bone idle ....

Yes they are making a mess of Brexit at the moment do you thing Corbin and co could do a better job.
Labour has always ran us into debt and the Tories have always came in power after to sort there mess out.
It's the better of two evils and that's definitely not Corbyn !

The Labour party are financed by the unions so they throw a lifeline, allbeit a poor one, to address the wage inequality problem , a real one. The union support comes largely from Brexiteers and the unions cannot support a pro EU party. The result is a big pile of pants.

It's a difficult one. It would be easy to say that the current Tory administration has in fact doubled the UK debt despite eight years of austerity. However, in reality the problem really started before they came into power with the financial collapse. So it would be difficult to wholly blame either party, but IMO not enough bankers got long jail terms for the catastrophe they caused and I would blame the Conservatives for that.(y)

Gordon Brown recognised that personal debt was out of control and did nothing. Next thing he is baling out the bankers to save the system from a loss of confidence. He had little choice though many said he should let them hit the wall. That would have taken years to rebuild. The problem was a lack of regulation that the Tory party had installed but labour ignored.. Poor government all round but it was a global problem.

When it comes to voting in a GE Nothing really changes except that none of the choices are even close to ideal

When it comes to GE voting and bottom fishing populist rabble rousers like UKIP manage to dupe enough people in order to get into power, the resulting damage can be sorted next election or before most likely.
When the rabble rousers pull off their confidence trick in a referendum the resulting damage could last minimum fifty years according to Supreme Commander Mogg!!

To be fair to may and her government, we don’t know if they have made a hash of it yet. Maybe they are just playing the game and a deal will be done. It’s a poison chalice and I think she is the best person for the job at the moment.

It’s so easy to criticise from the outside, but my problem with labour is they are blatant inverted snobs Who are driven by union and vote chasing and basically promising everything and delivering chaos. They will happily sell us out for their time in power. And ignore how business or economics work in the real world.
