Not sure why it's poor, it wasn't a trick question and I wasn't trying to score points, I'm genuinely interested. If it doesn't come into his mind when choosing who to vote for that's fair enough, there's no right or wrong answer, just opinions.

I'm not trying to score points at all, I think it's a valid question. If we were voting for parties that got involved in bombing kids in foreign countries, there'd be pretty much no one left to vote for (see Syria & Libya). It's also pretty clear that the current leader was massively opposed to it, as was I at the time.

I work now after managing to stay up until ten past six this morning. Not sure about another election in the near future, i genuinely think everyone is far too entrenched in their views for it to be anything other than a 50/50 split between the right and the progressive parties. Theresa May could go and curl one off peoples doorstep and they'd still vote for her.

I mentioned this on another thread, but I may as well ask Rico, and I apologise if you've been asked this before. How does what happened at Hillsborough, sit with you as a Conservative voter, seeing as it was the Conservative government that was complicit in smearing the supporters, through the media? Not 100 percent but I'm sure the infamous Irvine Patnick was a Tory MP as well.

Forecast now down to 316 for the Tories

Wasn't that the one that was 1/7 earlier?

5500 majority, very good result.

What was the majority there?

You may as well all stick it out till the morning now, fuck it!

See Cardies post

What did he say I missed it?

I'm not sure Mitchell is but he's definitely pissed with the Tories over Brexit.

Done

Glad I'm on afternoons this week, might as well have an all nighter! Sounds like a few big scalps have got twitchy arses tonight.

Not exactly inspirational, but I had my Spotify playlist on shuffle in work earlier, and 'Praying for time' by George Michael came on. Very apt lyrics for the current circumstances in the country.

No not really, I think he was one of the rebel MP's against Corbyn in the PLP. I was also a bit disappointed he was nowhere to be seen when Corbyn came to visit West Kirby. I know that's not part of his constituency, but I would have hoped he'd have showed a bit of support.

Frank Field for mine, safe seat, although personally I begrudge voting for him as I'm not that keen on him.

You see I don't get this, and I've been itching to ask a Liverpool supporting Tory supporting friend this for a few weeks. Why would you vote for a political party that was complicit, along with some of its MP's and media backers, of smearing 96 of your fellow supporters for nearly thirty years? I hope someone on RAWK has brought that up.

Well 44 years old, can't remember the last time I voted in a GE, if ever, and I've just joined the Labour Party. Not bad considering I wasn't even sure who I was voting for 3 weeks ago (it definitely wasn't the Tories or UKIP!).

Hopefully they'll cause some complacency

Exactly I've offered anecdotal evidence that they're better, so where's the anecdotal evidence from you that Johnson, Fox and Davies might be better?

If you're an absolute mentalist

So you really think North Korea are going to launch a nuclear strike at the U.K, and the US and the Chinese are just going to sit and watch? Really?

I would accept it if there was any actual anecdotal evidence they might be better. But all I can see I a coked up Boris and a pissed up Davies, so it takes some real mental gymnastics to understand why someone might think they may be a better option.

I mentioned it earlier in this thread, but the Labour Brexit team looks far more competent than the Tory one (Abbots not in it!)
