Originally posted by shaunbhoy View PostJust as a matter of interest, who do you intend voting for sasguru. Serious question by the way.Originally posted by WordIsBond View PostGood question. Because Labour and the DumLibs are even more nanny-staters than the Tories (which is going some, I must say). So yeah, I agreed with the comment about the nanny state 100% but can't see how anyone who says that can vote for the other parties, either. So I'm interested in that voting decision, too.
I've voted Tory in all previous elections by the way, but :
1) I cannot overlook the way they've put party before country by pandering to thick Brexiters to the point where they're willing to destroy the UK politically and economically
2) they've lost the right to call themselves the party of business simply by the way their tax laws are even more byzantine than New Labour's and by the way they've deliberately targeted contractors and such-like, treating them as cash-cows.Hard Brexit now!

Part of the problem is a paucity of serious candidates in the opposition.
Tim Farron is an idiot too, but like I said this election is about who you hate the most. Sad it should be so.Hard Brexit now!

As this is obviously an indirect reproach to Teresa May for calling the election, it's just one aspect of the BBC's crafty bias against the Tories without having to come out and admit it!
