Well that's that then. Labour victory is now nailed on! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuprabob Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Although there is no doubt Mrs May will win the election, I wonder if she now regrets calling a General Election as her stock seems to have reduced considerably whereas Corbyn's has increased a bit.

AZURES3 Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 I fear Corbyn will win so have this link saved the gap has closed so much and so many people seem happy to be getting free money or more free money from Labour https://www.newzealandnow.govt.nz/node/475?ds_lp_arm0=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newzealandnow.govt.nz%2Fnode%2F475&ds_lp_arm1=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newzealandnow.govt.nz%2Fnode%2F1285&gclid=CN3KyLXUo9QCFRS6GwodF74Gzg&gclsrc=aw.ds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 At a time when we need to be as competitive as possible as a country Labour getting in would be a disaster. This isn't the Blarite middle ground party of old that still did a fairly big dent in the economy. This is a far left wing socialist party effectively run by unions more than ever before. If Corbyn has a sniff of getting in with the opinion poles expect the markets to take a big hit and that will only be the beginning. With taxes up on business and with trade with Europe being uncertain the currently strong growth and confidence indexes will take a nose dive with an obvious knock on effect. The country will be run by a second class cabinet as most of the first choice don't want to work for him having resigned from his incompetent running of his own party. A strong and one sided view maybe but one some a starting to be very worried about and that before you add opinions on IRA links that I personally find shocking to have for someone running the UK.

garcon magnifique Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 If Corbyn won (he won't) I suspect you'd suddenly find lots of senior PLP members rushing to his side looking for cabinet jobs now they're not in opposition. The opportunity of actual power can have a curious effect on the memory. By the way, can anybody name a member of the current Conservative cabinet that they consider to be competent?

You're suggesting that Borris isn't the clinical political colossus I thought he was? Edited June 5, 2017 by billy2shots 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
