I think the tories will lose

I actually thought they would win, and there was nothing anyone could do. Now I think they will lose.

Yes he is a leaver ( as is TM. because she also said hardly anything in the run up to the referendum )
I just don't think the Labour Party, as a whole, are not strong & stable enough to take on the tough negotiations that Brexit will require. Plus Corbyn has said the 'no deal is better than a bad deal' is nonsense. So what deal would he sign up to?

PigletWasPoohsFriend · 02/06/2017 08:03

I'm sorry but Britain elects isn't as credible as other polling sources.

Which virtually all apart from YouGov (which even Paul Mason doesn't believe) are saying roughly the same.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 02/06/2017 07:52

Corbyn is a leaver as well though. What has he said about Brexit negotiations (in a nutshell Grin, if that's possible)

surferjet · 02/06/2017 07:50

They'll win - but only because of Brexit. I don't think leavers trust labour.

BuggerLumpsAnnoyed · 02/06/2017 07:46

I'm sorry but Britain elects isn't as credible as other polling sources. It's not taken from as wide a demographic.

BuggerLumpsAnnoyed · 02/06/2017 07:43

Um sorry but where is this poll with a 10 point lead? The daily mail? All the ones I've found are 3/4 point (such as yougov)

PollyPerky · 02/06/2017 07:38

YABU

I think they will win.

I am looking forward to seeing Headofthehive's response to the question about the Naylor review.

ArseOfInfinity · 01/06/2017 22:34

As a nurse, what do you think of the Naylor review Headofthehive55?

Headofthehive55 · 01/06/2017 22:29

killdora
I find your comment rude.
I cannot help if my experiences do not fit your rhetoric.

christinarossetti · 01/06/2017 22:16

But it's not piglet. There's another week for May to make a complete and utter fool of herself and confidence in Corbyn to continue to climb.

I'm still waiting for her to answer a direct question yet, and she's been campaigning for 6 weeks.

LiviaDrusillaAugusta · 01/06/2017 22:14

Lots of people have always voted Conservative - it's not like the rise of the far right, whatever then MN hysteria likes to believe. We don't have to look at the causes of it, any more than we have to look at why people vote for Labour.

Unless we want a one party system - at least nobody will be complaining about elections 😂

Killdora · 01/06/2017 22:14

That was meant to be eugh not eight Grin

Killdora · 01/06/2017 22:14

PigletWasPoohsFriend eight how depressingly blue.

Still, never mind, brexit will be such a fuck up red's bound to get it next time.

Best of five? Grin

Headofthehive55 · 01/06/2017 22:11

I can't help it if my experiences don't match up with your thoughts. If someone ringing me up and says it's raining I don't say ooh yes it is here too if it's sunny!
I am a nurse, have been for twenty years and I find your posts rude gotra and mucky.
I am not speaking for hospitals up and down the land, as I don't know, but I am saying my experiences. Which are as valid as any.

PigletWasPoohsFriend · 01/06/2017 22:07

The prediction if the election was today.

I think the tories will lose
summermummy2016 · 01/06/2017 22:02

They will win.

The EU referendum has taught many of us that we live in our own bubble.

We need to understand and address the issues that mean so many people voted to leave, why so many people still vote conservative despite their passion for the NHS/state education/social care and also why JC is STILL labour leader.

Let's hope the conservatives will be utterly f@*%&ed by the effects of Brexit and a new labour leader will mean the next GE will be different.

LiviaDrusillaAugusta · 01/06/2017 21:49

If they did that, doesn't it show how crap the leadership voting system was? Although who could really be arsed?

But If they couldn't be arsed to check people out before letting them have a say in the leadership then tough.

It's funny how everyone knows someone who did that - and yet any comments on benefit fraud are shouted down as apparently it never happens Grin

I agree with Livias post - I'm not decided yet but I genuinely don't think either main party is a cause for celebration and as much as I dread my Facebook feed now (which if anything to go by means labour are sure fire winners) I just feel like I felt after the referendum- scared.

Killdora, thats what I thought!

Killdora · 01/06/2017 21:44

Aye.

If you are a nurse, I'm two fucking bananas Grin

PigletWasPoohsFriend · 01/06/2017 21:43

Quite telling that if the Tory's won the overall mood will be sobbing vs a country in celebration if Labour win

I doubt it. Unless Labour get a landslide then a heck of a lot of people won't have voted for them.

MN is strange at times

Headofthehive55 · 01/06/2017 21:41

dont how rude.

Headofthehive55 · 01/06/2017 21:40

summer I can only say my experiences. I know it doesn't fit the rhetoric but I can't help that. Would you prefer I lie?

dontcallmelen · 01/06/2017 21:37

Headofthehive if you are a nurse, I'm a fucking banana.
