Originally posted by meridian View PostThere’s no logic in voting Corbyn, but that may only apply if you live in Islington.
In my case I would consider both Conservative and Labour Brexit policies to be damaging to the country. However, although my MP is a Labour MP, she’s a backbencher and spends most of her time dealing with local constituency issues. In other words, quote a good local MP.
If the country’s going to be fscked either way, I may as well vote for someone who’s decent locally.
(Of course, there will always then be people that CO-opt my vote to say “you voted for Corbyn” or “you voted for a Labour manifesto” when neither of these things are true...)There’s no logic in voting Corbyn

Originally posted by saptastic View Postso whatever your traditional politics are - I can understand someone voting Lib Dems, someone voting Boris / Farage but I cant see any logic at all in Corbyn's stance.
Of course that is if it is was a single issue general election.
It is not
So therefore taking Brexit out .........
I definitely cant see any logic in voting Corbyn.

Originally posted by saptastic View PostOk thanks for highlighting. Yes so choice in the election is clear....
Tory = hard brexit - lets go for it and ignore project fear of the sky falling in
Lib Dem = Rewind back to pre-referendum, forget Brexit - crack on with daily life and Farage gets back on the soap box
Labour = 5 years of internally & externally debating brexit and meanwhile the economy collapses anyway like never seen before through socialist policies & we beg the EU to let us stay

Originally posted by meridian View Postnobody appears to be too hung up on all the other manifesto promises that haven’t been delivered.
This has just amply highlighted why referendums should be banned. And I want a referendum on that....

Originally posted by Zigenare View PostIn that case surely the Conservative manifesto was accepted by the electorate, which included accepting and acting upon the result of the EU referendum.
I wouldn’t get too hung up on manifestos though. They’re more “aspirations” than commitments. Eg nobody appears to be too hung up on all the other manifesto promises that haven’t been delivered.Last edited by meridian; 20 September 2019, 06:06.

Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostI am not sure the UK would revert. For one thing I reckon the UK would pay a lot more. And the country would still be divided for years.
And who cares what Farage thinks? I do listen sometimes to his show on LBC - I like to be challenged. To be fair to me he is clear on his position and he puts things in a way then common thicko can understand easily. But he does tell some lies.But he does tell some lies.
