I Like Politics

Re: Brexit

Has anybody seen the Facebook post from Professor Michael Dougan, E:U Law Expert at the University of Liverpool ?
I saw it on Facebook a few minutes ago.
Not sure how these link things work, but if you're interested, something like Facebook-Theresa-May's-#-Brexit-election-pitch
should get you there

Quite worrying, i thought.

While we're on politics is there a party you feel you can vote for?
The Tories are all about privatisation and basically screwing the system for as much public money they can transfer into their own accounts.
Labour are for blowing as much money as they can and have one or two huge sticking points in the manifesto and idiots in the ranks.
Lib Dems, ok they are never going to get in but FFS make an effort, I haven't heard a peep out of them since Clegg was voted out of his position as Dep PM.

@GeniUs: Basically we're screwed i think. No matter who you vote for !
The Tories like being in power but hate having to be responsible for anything !
Hence May's poor showing at the dinner with Juncker this week.
And quite where they think they're going to privatise is a thought !........Prisons ?.......Schools ?......Everything else they sold during Thatcher's period in office.
This is why pensions are messed up; hospitals are flatlining (pardon the euphemism) elderly care is farmed out to private companies and no one anywhere is happy !
The Liberal Democrats are dead in the water.
pro-Europe, pro-private healthcare; pro- private pension fund management. If they publish a manifesto with those ideals i doubt they'll come in third.
Which leaves Labour. Corbyn is a divisive figure, however you slice it.
To many he's a hero of the old left-winger days protesting against change within the Labour movement. To others he's a relic of an era which saw Labour lose 4 elections in a row !
I can understand him being put in place at the time he was, but he can't get support from many of his own, let alone the majority of the electorate !
So, i suspect we'll have a Conservative win and they'll crow about the 'massive majority' they'll have. Until somebody reminds them only 30+% of the electorate actually bothered to turn out and vote !

I'm hoping for a hung election with Labour/Lib Dems it's still a very poor option but the best chance of a terrible bunch. I frequently discuss politics with friends and they regularly say 'but you've always voted Labour/Conservative,' which is hugely disappointing as it shows the mindset of people when you have an opposing view to their's.
