General Election?

It's a load of b......t but probably very shrewd timing from a prime minister that said not long ago they'd be no snap election.

It wont be about UK issue's,it'll get turned into more brexit bullshit....ALL our home issue's will be overlooked.It's a diversion,we'll all be so divided arguing brexit the nasty party will be effing us all right up the jacksie while we're looking the other way.

Now is the time to stop pissing about and forget party loyalties outside of the Tories. Across the country people need to vote tactically to get the Tories out before they can do any more damage; I generally don't vote Labour but probably will this time, unless the Lib Dems look as though they'll mount a challenge.

All you had to do was listen to the unsubstantiated BS coming out of May's mouth when announcing this today to see how little she cares for anyone but the people at the top.

How so? If people can be trusted to pull the trigger on brexit they can be trusted to have a say in the final deal. I wouldn't choose to vote anyone else happily.

Clever. Utter rubbish but clever.

In my opinion there's not a chance of her losing the next election. In my opinion it's nothing to do with what she is or isn't, does or doesn't and everything to do with a weak opposition. In my opinion this county will not vote in Jeremy and Abbott. In my opinion.

Chester was decided by 93 votes last time. You need to vote.

Of course there is an opposition. Don't listen to the Mainstream Media telling you there isn't one, or the polls (run by a Tory) saying the party has a massive lead. it's all bollocks.

When the 8th June comes around cast your vote. Whoever you vote for, make it count and get them out!

If you don't want your children to have a decent education, or your wife/partner/yourself to get that treatment you need asap that could save your/a loved ones life at an NHS ran Hospital, or you don't mind people using foodbanks to feed them/their families, or the fact that your kids can't get any other job than a zero hours contract due to the lack of a quality Education, or if you have no soul, then by all means vote for the lying conniving, Tory Millionaire playboys.

If you actually care about people, about your childs future, about the NHS, about their Education, about their future job prospects, about their ability to buy a home for them and their own family, then don't vote for the Tory Party.

GE17 is Brexit Ref Part Two.

We voted to choose between Remain/Leave, now we must vote on Hard/Soft Brexit. Those that say it does not matter need to go do some research, it matters a great deal.

There are only three possible outcomes to this election

1. Tory majority – Hard/clean Brexit – UK leaves Customs Union and EEA – joins WTO on a crazy fantasy Island project to become a worldwide trading nation, no doubt led by selling instruments of death to head chopping ,IS funding, Absolute Monarchies in Saudi and the Gulf. Becoming a tax haven and reducing Corporation Tax so low that the NHS/Social care and the welfare state can no longer be funded, that is austerity on stilts!

2. Tory/DUP coalition..With Ukip should any of those cretinous morons get elected. With the same result as above.

3. Labour/SNP/SDLP/PC/Green/Lib Dem coalition. Economic realism in charge, soft Brexit/Scottish Indy ref2/UK leaves EU but remains in Customs Union (Northern Ireland/Gibraltar land borders with the EU and if Customs Union is left chaos will ensue, as well as at our major ports/Airports) This avoids a fall off the economic cliff, a set of trade deals with EU far more likely as the bottom line is no longer immigration but the neolib EU rules regarding public sector funding of industry/public sector services, NHS etc.

Labour cannot win the election outright because New Labour betrayed its natural support base, and in Scotland, unlike in England, they have an alternative, the SNP. The fantasy Island incoherent nonsense of the Blairte ‘third way: Social democratic principles/values melded to neo classical economics could never work, it was gross stupidity, a logical contradiction, and sadly was tried across Europe with universally disastrous results for nominally Social democratic parties.

Yes, Corbyn lacks charisma, he does not think well on his feet during debates (though May is so gutless and incompetent that she wont join GE17 TV debates, and loses PMQs most weeks), and he seems laidback to a fault..BUT he stands for the true social democratic principles that have dominated the Labour Party policy agenda since the time of Keir Hardy, and those that challenge the coherence of Social democracy should remember two things, The post war consensus of managed capitalism (social democracy) worked better for the majority of citizens across the developed world than any other economic paradigm before or since. Its break down was part error part planning by those who stood to gain from a reversion to the pre WW2 status Quo anti. Secondly, globalisation is a political creation, its not a natural or irreversable phenomena, the 2007/8 crisis it caused has still not been resolved, a change has to come before we fall into the next financial chasm as extend and pretend eventually collapses.

I voted Leave, but I did not vote for a nationalist/xenophobic lemming like rush to the cliff a jump into a delusional nirvana, all i wanted was an exit from the Neoliberal treaties and to avoid the large mulinational trade deals/investor protection scams (CETA/TTIP), and a Soft Brexit would achieve that.

Vote for the party most likely to keep the Tories out, forget party allegiances this is too important, don’t give up because of negative corporate funded polls, and remember the Tories majority in 2015 was gained not from Labour, who they lost two seats to overall, it came from taking the majority of LibDems seats, and now judas Clegg has gone the LibDems will certainly win many of them back.

I work in primary schools, the cuts that are being made by 2020 are absolutely savage. Parents in many areas are being asked to set up direct debits to schools to afford basics like books, pencils and pens. Many are genuinely looking at moving to 4/4.5 days a week unless there is a U-turn (A lot of people assume this is sensationalised nonsense, but I've spoken to at least 3 heads who have said it's one of their options moving forward).

I can only presume this level of austerity is being applied to the NHS, Police Force, Social Care etc. The Conservative Party are a disease. Sadly, I've no doubt they'll stroll to power, especially with the prominence of the SNP.

I raised the same point's that Jack made about school's a while ago to people and i was told it was just scaremongering! 2 teacher's in Warrington and Hereford had told me of such cut's but the brexiteer's only seem to care about is that they will get THEIR country back HAHAHAHA...yeah good luck with that one.Getting .... all back off the nasty party yeah right!....just tell em their all going to be sovereign again and they'll be peeing themselves with delight when the reality is it is just word's..empty fecking word's whilst the nasty party shaft us all further.
Any/all other issue's seem not to matter anymore and it's a crying shame.

A social demographic football club that doesn't sympathise with the IRA

I don't even understand your point.

Well if someone is going to be anti-Corbyn for being a "IRA sympathizer" as "Big Sigh" wrote then I'll be anti-Conservatives considering their dealings with one of the most abusive countries in the world (Saudi Arabia) and attempts to cosy up to Duterte in the Philippines.
