Really delusional if you don't think Jeremy is weak, a shambles of a leader. The economy would tank the moment Jeremy got into power, but let's face it, it's not likely to happen.

Yeah, but what are his views on unprotected penetrative gay sex?
Thanks for the detailed analysis of my post.
You're just trying to turn me on now.
Decided that I'm going to vote based on the local MP, rather than the national picture this time.
Me too. Will be my first Labour vote at a GE. Andy Slaughter is a good local MP and battling both Heathrow expansion and the closure of Charing X hospital.
My MP hss promised us shoes by 2020, so I'm voting for the Whigs.

Whoaaaaa Charing Cross hospital is closing??? You can't possibly be serious???? That hospital is always full!!
I had my first STD and STI tests there yonks ago. Really sad if they're closing it.
Well if by 2030 we are living in a authoritarian dystopia ruled by President Slaughter, I know who's to blame.
Kinell.Let's try that again!
feck James Corbyn!

Will June be the end of May?
I'm going to hear this several hundred more times, aren't I?
Clucking bell, YouGov giving them a 24 point lead.
That's a pretty good description of the effect I have on anyone in a relationship with me.I've made a formerly optimistic friend of mine into a pessimistic nihlist
He's one of the good guys!
Maybe just the A&E tbh. I went there with a broken finger once. Only had an STD exam in Durham.
So in addition to that absolute clown in my last post, I took a female friend out tonight. We've been out before as mates so felt like I could ask her the dreaded question. Who are you voting for?
"Convers...what are they again, the blue ones?"
When I asked why it's because her sisters boyfriend told her too, because he wants North Korea bombed and they need someone with the balls to do it.
Her and her Mum work in an off license, her sister works in Pets At Home, her dad and uncle both do manual work on the new bridge going over the Mersey. The sisters boyfriend is a football coach and at Uni.
If there is anyone that should be voting Labour, anyone, it's this family. It's not to do with Labour being in a sorry state structurally, because they don't actually know what's going on, they are oblivious, but Labour really aren't in their faces enough and the bulk of the media won't do it for them. These are the kind of people that would vote against whoever sticks a party ad in the break of their beloved Corrie, though, so Labour need to get their campaigning right.
This girl also voted Brexit because her racist mate dragged her down to the polling station. I've had it out with her mate on a separate note and it didn't end well, I actually got hounded off the Facebook post by a ton of Xenophobes.
Anyway, this means little to you lot but I needed the rant. Turkeys voting for Xmas will be the theme of this election.

Genuinely entertained that your Labour experimentation occurs during the reign of Corb.

It's safe. Like our Nick voting Green cause he was upset with Tory policy.
She must be a looker if you're willing to ignore that much crap and still take her out.
Would be funny if there was a big shock and McDonnell got his hands on Jip's tax.
I'm not sure Nick's mentioned his thoughts on voting this time round, would be interested to hear @Nick 0208 Ldn
My sister in law voted for the first time a few years ago. Didn't know who to tick, so chose the party with a heart in their logo
Yeah, that point is not lost on me!
If anyone can beat that, I don't want to know how.My sister in law voted for the first time a few years ago. Didn't know who to tick, so chose the party with a heart in their logo
Feck Brexit, which party will invest in education?Let's try that again!
feck James Corbyn!

Is a poll on voting intent something we could add? I know the Cafe isn't likely to be representative but it might be interesting.
Notice I said friend and nothing more, but even that is wearing thin.
I'm hanging around until she sees the error of her ways then leaving her sorry ass.My sister in law voted for the first time a few years ago. Didn't know who to tick, so chose the party with a heart in their logo
That's brilliant hahaha, bet that's not an isolated occurrence either!
I've come to the conclusion that barring a miracle like a scandal or something similar this election is pretty much over which isn't a bad thing because it gets rid of Corbyn and instead of 8 years of Tories we'll only have another 5. Win!
I bet your salary starts with a bigger number than mine.
Besides my own right-ist crisis, it's been weird watching the immigrant wife veer from Tory to left, despite her loathing of Corbyn.
Feck Brexit, which party will invest in education?
I know! Banning the Muslim religion will improve the economy though...apparently.
Education is key and evidently we should be ploughing money in to it!
I'm not sure they won't win with such a swing that it'll take a couple of terms at least for any recovery barring some spectacular event.
We've done it before, eg Brexit @Damien the most helpful mod!
Holy shit!!!My sister in law voted for the first time a few years ago. Didn't know who to tick, so chose the party with a heart in their logo

I think this shows how right wing tabloids have sold a right wing nationalist narrative to the working classes. I've seen it in my own family, not to this extent but complaining about immigration etc. While being quite welcoming of my own interracial relationships. But there's a brainwashing going on. That and a lack of integration and tensions with immigrant communities who don't integrate. Those are all a troublesome mixing pot.
Ultimately this gentleman looks to have a family there. I'd reply: "I think it's sad that you don't want your children to benefit from a better education, that you don't want your family to have the best care if they become sick, that you don't want your workers rights to be protected and that if you do suffer from unemployment that you wouldn't want to be treated better and be supported by the state. Also an odd fact did you know that immigrants add more in taxes than they take from the country,. There is a problem with extremist Islam but most Muslims aren't extremists ".
Misled people can be reasoned with, I mean if a newspapers brainwashed them, you should be able to sell them an alternate narrative.
Maybe you both represent a big shy Labour vote!
Interesting thing though, if turnout is low and the result is seen as foregone, and as a result the anti-Corbyn messages aren't as effective as the anti-Miliband ones, could be a surprise result.
Done.
