**** politicians bunch of ****ing idiots 
I would like to see a successful business man, one with a proven track record take over the country and look at the real picture instead of these dreamers spouting ****. Run it with the aiming of reducing dept and getting us back on track

Sorry , but i have waited years for this , this is the "haaretz"newspaper , stating the reasons for the Corbyn antisemitism smears ! don't know how to create a link ,
https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/.premium-the-contract-on-corbyn-1.8192769/.premium-the-contract-on-corbyn-1.8192769?fbclid=IwAR0lRw0EkUDu3AytPEM5HbYpHXzGTJco6E38LBbGaD8SZ-TTg3gCSZ43LYE
also while i am at it , one of the most undemocratic things i have ever witnessed in the time of an election , and should be illegal in the time of an election , a lot of people have formed opinions and will vote against Corbyn because of these lies , something similar to a D notice was put on the court case , Which the daily mail lost ! but , there are a few good reporters left , thankfully

I think a reset is needed but unlikely because the current system suits the two bigger parties.
Electoral reform is absolutely needed but why would those who repeatedly benefit from the current system change it?

No need to be frightened. Marx was wrong 180 years ago about communism, the way the world's turned out proves that.
On capitalism he seems to be nearer the mark from all those years ago in a very different world.
Marx argued that Capitalism was inherently unstable because: Workers were abused and disenfranchised. As capitalism developed, Marx predicted, workers would become increasingly alienated and seek to overthrow the capitalist class.
Globalization, technologies replacing labour, unimaginable wealth of a few has since been realised.skewing the balance of capitalism.
MacDonald is a socialist that takes into account Marx view of capitalism, and the Attlee government's view of public ownership of certain parts of the economy,so don't panic.
So after voting for my local independent candidate at the last 2xGE,who I find a decent bloke with the local area at heart I'm voting for my labour MP.
Capitalism needs the counter weight of socialism to make a better country for all in my view. It's difficult to find the correct balance, but worth trying to.
With Brexit round the corner, might as well hit the reset button on the way we look at our great country.
I've no idea what the last 9 years of Tory government has even been trying to achieve, apart from the status quo.

It's not Brexit that frightens me it's Labour's manifesto and if Labour had a moderate leader instead of a commi Marxist they would of walked this election,the main asset the tory's have is Corbyn as he don't know what he's doing and if McDonald becomes leader he's even worse and openly admits he's a Marxist so if you think Corbyn's dangerous McDonalds on another level

I'm predicting a load of disappointment
It's looking like johnson and his out of touch boys club are going to get in.
He'll get found out of course but by then it'll be too late...
I'm with you on jess Phillips. The only mp I've ever been inspired by enough to actually write to.

Funnily enough I need some euros and was thinking do I buy them now or after the 12th. I think I will wait.
However in the scheme of things a couple of quid on foreign exchange is not life changing.
Makes you wonder though I reckon there maybe a few people who think holiday money, roaming charges, blue passports, gym membership and the price of Starbucks are top priorities in their lives

So, predictions, anybody?
...Well I dreamt that we will get the Conservatives by default and with a working majority. Both Corbyn and Swinson have become more and more toxic as the campaigning has progressed. I don't see the SNP being as strong and they think they are and neither they not the Lib-Dems will command enough seats to hold the balance of power (either left of right). Farage will creep away with his tail between his legs only to resurface post-election as the head (unappointed!) of his new Reform Party (as if we need another Farage-lead political party!). The DUP's days in the spotlight will be over. Too much will have been made of tactical voting, which will not work this time around.
Brexit will happen by the end of 2020 with a totally ****ed up "deal" the long term (2-3 years) effect of which will be another GE, this time with Jess Philips as leader of the Labour party. Corbyn will be assigned to the history books and will retreat into obscurity along with any resurgent militant Labourites.
Boris's "deal" will see chaos an disorder throughout the UK which will result in him being kicked out after losing his Uxbridge seat. Instead a more moderate leader of the party will need to try trying his or her best to stem the sweeping tide of compassionate Labour policies under Phillips.
Meanwhile Trump will loose the 2020 election to Elizabeth Warren and with her and Jess at the head of the Atlantic Pact countries, we will see a lessening in tensions throughout the world....Then I woke up!
Still, at least the £ will strengthen making trips to Euroland much cheaper. The € will weaken quickly post-election so hold your fire before exchanging £s to €s prior to the French trip. Wait until it reaches €1.30 then get in quick as it will fall again quickly.
The city will react positively in the short term following the GE but the FTSE will not be able to sustain high numbers for too long. Buy now and get out in 6 months .
Remember...you read it here first!

Mate its not just the Tories its both sides, Labour just as bad, Kahn and JC both at the event but don't even bother attending stabbing scenes anymore.
It was a photo opportunity for both and both are making gestures their prospective governments and budget allowances cant complete!
Aside from this apparently now JC is offering cut price rail tickets and free travel, which the tax payer will pay for so not free. Is it in the grey book or another addition like the WASPI offer that's not costed and they will just add to the borrowing budget!
Hope their Experian score is high enough as they will have changed address within the last 5 years

Of course it's despicable ken.
But given the lack of morality in the current crop of politicians it's unfortunately not a surprise.
I don't think there are any depths they wouldn't stoop to.

He did so much damage to the education system and then after that, Johnson puts him in charge of Brexit...
