Theresa May got handed a P45, coughed for ages, said nothing to get Tory hopes up and ripped off part of her speech from the West Wing it seems.

Oddly not that bad a day for May. Still at appears that the Tories aren't getting any stronger. Are we getting closer to a Labour government?

It will be funny to see the EU crushing bigmouth Corbyn if that happens ☺

@Cierzo I have to admit, I am not so disappointed with Labour being out of power at the moment.

The Tories are strewing themselves over Brexit and (predictably) getting nothing that they promised. Let them stew in the mess they made.

A left wing Labour is in a near ideal position to take power and Brexit is great for our election chances. Unfortunately it's also very bad for the country.

@LvChris I have no doubt that our media would blame Corbyn for things beyond his control. Being in power during Brexit gives them a little less scope to so.

It's noticeable how the US eight on here blame Obama for the debt, which was a legacy of a financial crash which happened under the Bush regime. Though the crash was a result of bank deregulation which started under Reagan and was continued by Bill Clinton.

@LvChris Economic indicators are related to the international economy and long-term trends yet people vote (understandably perhaps) by how they perceive things affect them in the here and now. This is wrong. Even in America, decisions by the current national Government are perhaps as much as 30% responsible for things such growth and employment figures. That is a generous figure too.
