    Not voting for a party because you think their leader is a clown is entirely valid. If you think their leader is incompetent to enact their policies, dishonest and doesn't plan to enact the policies, etc, then the policies are fairly worthless.

    Johnson is corrupt and a liar
    Corbyn is well-meaning but hopelessly idealistic and totally ineffectual to boot.
    Doesn't matter aboutt he others because the leaders won't be PM, focus on who your MP might be instead.

    Been talking to a friend of mine recently who said he's going to vote Lib Dems. When asked why he replied he's not gonna vote Labour because "Corbyn is a grumpy old men who wants to tax also the air we breathe and give all our taxes to the chavs who claim jsa" (quoting him word for word).

    He's not going to vote Tory because "Bojo is a clown" (again, word for word).

    When I asked him what Labour/Tory policies doesn't he agree with and what Lib Dem policies instead he agrees with...no answer. No knowledge whatsoever of what any parties are aiming to do. Not even the main points of the parties' manifestos. Nothing. Nada.

    Ladies and gentlemen....the british electorate

    and there you have it. I guess very few voters in % terms actually determine the outcome of a GE, irrespective of what the manifestos say.

    TBF, every single one of the ****ers is a lying ****. Politics is dead in this country until a few of them go to prison for lying. There is literally no party worth a vote in this election; not one of them.

    Aaannnd, relax....

    i.e The PM will have presidential powers. All done in the name of democracy.
    I’ve read Hard Labour - might as well leave the country if they get in power
