Those Scottish Tory polls are remarkable. I need to find some Scottish Tories. I know...like, two.
 
Look... ITV's Good Morning audience is hardly going to be pro-Corbyn in the same way that the people that pay to go to watch Utd at OT are pro-Utd. Get it? It's as representative a sample as any, imo.

It isn't. Polling companies have weighted formulas etc to ensure they're accurate. That's just a random collection of whoever happened to see it.
 
They've all got their snouts in the troff trof thingy.
 
Can anyone provide a link to a list of promises made and broken by the Tories recently? Maybe zipped PDF downloadable?
 
Yeah, but up here they never used to exist, dammit! What's happening?
Over the decades, the Tories have encouraged a culture of caring only about oneself; and masses of people bought into it.

Then you are getting Theresa May. Congrats you are now Trumpkin worthy

We'll getting TM no matter whom we vote. I might as well use my vote to lower the chances of JC surviving past this GE

Great. Also, let's sign Barton as a way of removing Rooney.
 
The vulnerable continuing to be shafted vs a soon to be 68 year old man no longer leading a party you won't even vote for. It's a toughie, I give you that.

the GE is decided either way. All we can hope is a big defeat for Labour so it cleansed from the filth.

Also why should I vote for a party who wants my rights to be reduced?

Its actually like hoping Moyes won't make it to 4th place so we can get rid of him
Yes, but Moyes didn't turn the poor into ashtrays. Hang on, I've lost track here...
 
Worra bunch of traitors. I demand that you all get banned and that I get free chocolate.

The poor voted for Brexit whose aim was to reduce my rights. I am not poor. Since they didn't give a damn about my rights then why should I give a damn about theirs?

I don't bloody know. I can't even dress myself.

I can pity turkeys who end up butchered for Christmas. I can't pity those who voted for it especially since I happen to be forced to make new plans because of their votes
 
They got more votes than the libs and snp combined in the last election I think... So yeah I suspect they have polled ahead of the libs quite regularly
Yeah, last week's one. This is the first Opinium one that's had Lib Dems above them since the election I think.
Thanks. Didn't know that UKIP were polling so high(Well higher than the Lib Dems).

Depressing.
 
Yeah feck the non rich as long as a bearded politician doesnt get in.

They fecked themselves time and time again by first voting the Tories in, then by voting Brexit and now by giving TM a big majority. I guess they love being fecked...big time

You're making it sound as if my vote will be the deciding factor between the endless war between good and evil. Its not. TM will win big time whether I vote labour or Lib Dem. Since the UK is a 1 man party, I might as well vote for a party who actually give a damn for my rights

Its all the same deception though, getting people to vote against their own interests.

The lies that led to brexit were whoppers, but nothing compared to the lies propagated by the media that claim u-turn may is a strong leader, and nigel farage is a member of the human race.
 
20 votes for UKIP... you're all pricks. I hope you stump your toes today!

I bet at least half are troll votes.

Corbyn's ideas on foreign policy this morning just won't go down well one bit. Decommissioning Trident and not bombing the leader of ISIS if he had a chance will go down like a lead balloon.
 
I'm really not one of those "don't listen to polls" people. I think they are useful, important, and trust the academic work behind them.

But... there are problems with the field when two polls covering essentially the same groundwork period have a 10 point difference in the Conservative lead.



In January though.
You'll always get outliers, and remember there were actually 3 polls out yesterday with margins above 19, which also fit the trend since article 50. Though that said, outliers can also be the correct ones (there was one just before the 2015 election with a Tory lead of like 6, and most dismissed it for being unrealistic).

I'm not overly keen on either mass murder or the murder of an individual - even though that individual might be a right cnut.
 
Ah such a big head yet so so empty.

Life is cruel.

Unlike you I worked in politics (not the UK one) and I can recognise a leader whose simply un electable from miles ahead. I was part of a party who was lead by a JC and I've seen a party whose been in opposition for more then 2 decades win with the biggest majority in the country's history as soon as that man left the party's leadership

Believe me, the faster JC goes down the faster we'll have labour in government.

There's no way TM will lose this GE. However if JC stop ruining the party then there's every chance the LP can win the next, especially if hard Brexit hits the UK hard.

That's the problem, he did not say either of those things really, but that is the simple way it is presented. He stated an obvious fact about bombing syria, more bombs kill more civilians and turn more people into extremists who then attack us. At some point, someone has to say stop, because it is not and will not ever work. We have to look for other solutions. He did though, say we would be better off if the isis guy was gone, if it could be done with no harm to innocents.

He wants to decommission trident, but he knows the party do not want that. Now more than ever is that not a good idea to work towards? We have a psychopath in North Korea and a moron in Washington both with these things and everyone is worrying, and yet still the idea we should work towards getting rid of them all is seen as odd. Beggars belief really, if anything at all in the last 70 years should focus people on why nuclear weapons are bad, it is trump with his finger on the button.
 
Trump was "unelectable". So was Mandela when he was on Robben Island (if not for people like JC).

This isn't the argument, it's Corbyn being a unilateralist vs Labour historically being multilateralist.
