It has nothing to do with her career.

fecking hell! Her father was directly involved in human trafficking and running brothels and exchanged emails with her about his whores - and now she's fronting Woman's Hour on BBC. You think that's OK?!
 
bored at work so did every question

63% Green
62% Labour
62% Lib Dem
44% UKIP
44% Tory

I could never vote Tory and UKIP, in the poll above I selected green even though I normally spoil my vote but may vote Labour as Corbyn has impressed me, I still think if he got rid of Diane Abbott he'd get a load more vote.

Why do you normally spoil your vote, and why specifically Abbott?

I think her dad's crimes are none of our business, given she's not her dad, and I think given we know absolutely nothing about her emails, and rightly so, it's infantile to use them as some hypothetical evidence of her immorality.

Honestly, if you think this is some feminist point you're making here, I despair.

In the Mail article she writes about being totally ignorant of his criminal activities until he was on his way to prison. The MEN article mentioned emails exchanged with her father talking about his whores. You believe her?

I'm sorry. I'm done with this. I find it thoroughly unsavoury and I'm liable to get over-emotional if we continue.

no interest in any of the main parties, live in an area with a massive Tory majority which has been Tory / Unionist for about 100 years.

Abbott I find her to be the worst type of London Labour, intelligent no doubt, but she comes across as condescending with an air of a superiority complex and she continually fecks up in interviews, I just don't like her, same with McDonnell, find him an odious arse.

Will be different policies though - and of course they have broadly common ground for a few things.

And depending on how one prioritises certain them too. Whilst i selected 'Most Important' on a good half dozen questions, i'm not sure how well this was reflected in the final outcome.

I think the main thing I learnt from it was how many things it considered worth asking that I don't really have strong views on.

The majority of mine fall into one of three categories: social, the environment and foreign policy.

The question on euthanasia was probably the one i struggled with most. One of those clashes between theory and practice.

The Greens have slipped slightly since the last time I took that test.
It is kind of stupid though. Apparently I side with 10 different political parties on science and the environment. From the far left to the far right and everything in between. Which is blatantly bollocks.
 
If anyone's still interested, someone did a count. It seems Paxman interrupted Corbyn 54 times and May 6 times.
 
This might be my ignorance, but my impression of social media during the campaign has been one of pleasant surprise. The Indy Ref, Brexit, the 2015 GE...the unpleasantness was quite prevalent. Here we are again though, with a totally unnecessary and ugly episode.

For all that i am no friend of Corbyn, even i would acknowledge that this sort of undignified interaction is not how the man likes to conduct his business. Worse, it plays upon =a perception that Labour would rather be forgotten.

That guy yesterday attacking Corbyn for imposing a minimum wage on him/his employees... perhaps if you can't afford to pay your employees a living wage then your business is a failure. Perhaps the wellbeing of the millions on minimum wage is more important than the businesses that rely upon the underpaid labor of its employees. Crazy talk in the 21st century I know, crazy I am. Raving!

This country is so far right of me that I feel obligated to emigrate.

More often than not, letting May ramble on did greater harm to the performance. Corbyn, on other hand, wasn't answering the questions put to him. The end result was that they both came across as uninspiring candidates.
