The closing date for registration is this Tuesday

The weekend has seen the leaders question time debates.

Johnson failed to answer a question and the BBC edited later edited footage to change laughter at him to applause.

Swinson continues to prove that the Lib Dem campaign planners don't understand the electorate. They based the campaign around her and the more the public see her and the more she opens her gob she proves she's the witless headgirl who really knows fuck all.

Corbyn has now adopted a neutral 2nd referendum position. Far too late.

Jo Johnson apparently said that a good election manifesto is one people aren’t talking about 48 hrs later, and it seems that the Conservatives really have gone for that strategy.

Johnson had promised a manifesto for change yet of the three main parties it seems far from that. It avoids controversy for the most part, but also doesn't offer solutions to some of our biggest problems like social care. But with the Tories so ahead in the polls, the status quo and making sure they don't have a repeat of the 'dementia tax' car crash seems to be the order of the day. Because Brexit is going to going to provide a magic solution instead...

Meanwhile the Labour Party have gone completely the other way and really have gone for it and come up with ideas. With a mixed response from the public and press.

And I still can't tell you what is in the LD one, cos Prince Andrew...

This week should see the election come into focus as postal voting starts. As it stands its hard to bet on anything but a Tory majority.

It was reported there was a massive spike in voter registration after Stormzy put out a video asking people to register.

missclimpson · 26/11/2019 17:55

I am in the 70 tomorrow bracket. Remainer and Labour voter. 😊

Violetparis · 26/11/2019 17:57

Red if you have time could you please say why you think the huge poll due to be published tomorrow will be EU electionesque ?

Brabinger · 26/11/2019 17:57

There's some very unpleasant racism on those tory threads. Really depressing stuff.

dreichwinter · 26/11/2019 17:57

🥨 s Oh to be that young again!

tobee · 26/11/2019 17:58

I don't think many of us are much younger than that age bracket? Maybe?

Mistigri · 26/11/2019 17:58

I haven't seen any of the Tory threads but whenever I have reported racist posts MN has always been really quick to delete them.

tobee · 26/11/2019 17:59

Happy birthday missclimpson. Always loved your user name! GrinCakeThanks

I wonder what moderate Tories make of the type of people now attracted to the party?

missclimpson · 26/11/2019 18:01

Thank you @tobee. I still feel about 35 and don't wear Miss Climpson style bloomers. 😀

I'm a bit like Lot's wife though continuity : I might have to look...

I'm right in the midst of the 35-45 bracket.

pointythings · 26/11/2019 18:07

I think we're broadly speaking older than that. I certainly am.

FadingStar · 26/11/2019 18:12

Happy birthday Missclimpson. Hope you have a fantastic day!

I am guessing most of us are in the 35 - 45 age bracket?

I'm just over it.

Heseltine says vote LD. Friend of mine, life-long Tory voter, former chair local Tory party, has resigned the post and from the party and is going to vote lib-dem as she hates current Tory leaders and policy

yolofish · 26/11/2019 18:17

It's so depressing when you move up an age bracket in demographics... still, better than the alternative hey?!

Alsohuman · 26/11/2019 18:20

They’re all moaning on the Tory thread that people keep calling them stupid. Except nobody has.

GhostofFrankGrimes · 26/11/2019 18:23

A trait of the Brexiteers and it appears the new breed of Tories. Forever the victims rallying against the elites. War is peace, freedom is...

ClashCityRocker · 26/11/2019 18:24

I'm under 35!

I think my first moments of political awareness were probably post (or around) 9/11 and the war in Iraq so it's interesting to hear about how things have been historically.

FadingStar · 26/11/2019 18:27

I do think there is some truth when Tory voters claim their minds are even more set on voting Tory the more pushback they get. If they actually reflected on the gruelling, relentless grind of poverty and how devastating it is for people thanks to the cruelty of their precious party, they would feel horrible about themselves. Some of them would anyway. So it is easier to dig heels in and lie to themselves they are right and all is fine.

Until it bites them on the arse.

FadingStar · 26/11/2019 18:32

Lol they will probably still find a way to blame Corbyn.

borntobequiet · 26/11/2019 18:47

I’m 66, and have realised that my opinions and politics are now much nearer to those of my 26 yo self than my 46 yo self, for what it’s worth. Except now I understand them better.

MockersFactCheckMN · 26/11/2019 18:51

What a day. Labour say never mind about our Anti-semitism, look at those Islamophobic Tories.

Tories say never mind about our Islamophobi, look at Antisemitic Labour.

Both say they are doing everything to root out ....etc.
