That's it really... fed up of reading things about the party leaders when they might not even be there in a month's time but we'll be stuck with the policies for 5 years (possibly)

Absolutely agree with you. You don't actually have to like the PM, just the party policies.

I think you're preaching to the choir here.

I'm still seeing posts on here with 'Corbyn this' and 'Boris that' (why don't we use both their first or last names, that's weird!) so just wanted to make sure all bases are covered!

Nothing like stating the obvious. Do you seriously think that anyone with the slightest interest in what happens to this country over the next five years would do otherwise? Of course it's all about policies which is why all the countless, repetitive threads on here crucifying one leader or the other are completely irrelevant.
