to ask if you will be (considering) leaving the UK if Labour/Corbyn get into power?

[oliwki]

If so, where will you be going?

I would come back!

No, we arent very mobile as i have two elderely relatives that rely on me and a son with special needs so finding a school is hard and i rely on family support too.
But i feel equally incluned but unable to leave with the Tory option.

I remember a general election many years ago when all sort of "celebs" kept threatening to leave if Labour got in - and i thought "well off you fuck then, close the door behind you".

I suspect OP isn't getting the answers they were hoping for.

Except Scotland can’t meet the criteria for EU entry due to budget deficit so good luck with fleeing to an independent Scotland and finding a job there. I don’t suppose we’d try and leave unless we can’t afford our mortgage at which point we’d have nothing to lose.

I will be trying to work out where my family can go. I'm Jewish. The only reason I ever got to be born was because my ancestors all had a good instinct for when the time had come to GTFO of wherever they were living, when the hostile environment for Jews had just become too hostile. If the majority of the UK voted for an institutionally antisemitic party with a grossly antisemitic leader, I think I would have to recognise that we are getting there.

I have no idea where we would go, or how. i don't have citizenship of anywhere else . I have family in the USA but no means of moving there.

tbh I am verging on suicidally depressed at where we have got to. I've never felt so unwelcome or actively hated in my own country. It's OK in my bit of London because it's a very diverse area, including lots of Jews, with ver y good relationships between different communities, but I no longer feel that me or my family are welcome here.

He may not offer a magic wand, but the rise in hate crime is a direct result of a Conservative government. And that is what is making England so nasty at the moment. I don’t say UK, as Scotland, NI and maybe Wales will be off as soon as they can.

And nasty little England will remain

England us a horrible horrible nasty place right now. I hope a Corbyn does get elected and changes it all

Can you explain what the people who live in England are doing to make you feel like it’s a horrible nasty place - and how you think the government can change them/their behaviour?

And only nasty little England will be left. Not remain (l wish)

I’m talking about the rise in hate crime nationalism and the far right.

And this is accepted by Boris. So in my mind, anyone is better than him.

I’m another who would be moving to Scotland and campaigning for independence. I can’t bear the thought of another 5 years.

Well most of the rich will leave I suspect if his proposals to impose higher taxes on the wealthy' become reality, and then the rest of us who are just comfortable, - not wealthy enough to flee the U.K. and not poor enough to benefit from his wild promises on funding for the poor, - will be picking up the tab to fund his impossibly high spending pledges.

No. But I will want to if Johnson gets in.

We’re leaving the UK because of Brexit, not because of which party might have the majority going forward.

Yes. Because I’m Jewish. Also because it would make it pointless for my DH to continue to work 60-70hrs+ a week because he would be working a large chunk of that time just to pay tax. He can’t cut down his hours because of the type of business he’s in.

Tories don’t seem any more palatable and Johnson’s is just vile. Unfortunately the voice of reason (Lib dems) are unlikely to win. We have been talking relocation tonight as it happens☹️

No because I can't see a single thing about them that is so awful it would make it worthwhile to uproot my life and leave behind all my parents, my friends and wider family. I'm also Jewish, btw, and I'm not sure exactly what some of my co-religionists think Mr Corbyn and co are going to 'do' to us. I'm not their biggest fan, but they're hardly an existential threat to us.

As the parent of a severely disabled child I'll be doing a conga up the street if Labour get in, over the last 10 years we've had even the most basic services taken from us by the evil coalition/Tory governments they really don't see the poor and disabled as human beings, I'd call them a load of cunts but they lack the warmth and depth.

No, and it's not got a chance of happening before all you luvvies get too excited

I wouldn't be ecstatic about it but then again I'm not keen on any of the parties! I think it's a bit extreme to move to another country to be honest

And go where? Where to you imagine people can just simply move to? Do you know of some magic free land where all are welcome, with the guarantee of a job, a home?

Umm No I wouldn’t be leaving. Whoever wins, the UK will not be a bad country. Most of us should feel very privileged to live here so many worse countries exist.

But l think we are living in extreme and polarised times

I’m more likely to leave where I live if the Tories get back in tbh. Fuelling hate and societal division is not something any government should condone.

The thought of another Tory government makes me want to weep. I’d love to feel as euphoric on 13 December as I did on 2 May 1997.

Don’t be ridiculous. If Boris and his cronies continue in power I will feel like leaving though.

Why are people so dramatic about things? Leave the Country? Why? What do you think us going to happen? Honestly people put their lives at massive risk to get to this Country. We are so lucky just being here.

Bye then OP.
