General election 8th June

Worst Tory performance since William Hague came down a log flume in a silly hat.

She didn’t, the audience didn’t seem to like her much

She looks uncomfortable, lacking confidence and nervous. Her delivery is stilted and stuttering. I cannot see any floating voters drifting in her direction anytime soon.

Why would anyone prefer her at the helm compared to Corbyn?

May should’ve taken her own advice about not calling an early election. She under-estimated Corbyn & over-estimated herself. #BattleForNo10

Corbyn is not capable of standing up to the Unions and the hard left in his party so isn’t fit to lead the Country.

Paxman really has lost it with both interviews IMO.

Audience needed more trolls
Double knotted wet rope to the chap who stood up in ovation to may at the end then had the difficult moment when he realised no one else got up
Certainly there should have been more props and pyrotechnics and a laser or two. I like lasers
Eurovision has the right idea.

Only a raving lunatic would vote for Corbyn.

That’s the only issue on the table.

May could be a cardboard cut out and win. The bearded thing is a dangerous buffoon with a cabinet of imbeciles.

Dianne, and a bloke who wants to scrap the security service and armed police.

Enough said. I don’t do politics on forums, so that’s me out. It’s a vote for dumb or dumber beyond belief.

Unless you are in favour of Brexit,or earn in the top 5%,i struggle to see why anyone would vote for her.

Because the alternative is horrific. The end.

And she knows it.

How do you know he is not capable? It is not the 1970’s and I don’t believe Corbyn has any intention of making the same mistakes that Governments of both parties made in that era. I would say that May seems totally insincere, has very little to say other than what she has been told to, Brexit. Her view that no deal is better than a bad deal seems very strange coming from someone who was a remainer. I guess that the attraction of Sovereignty ā€˜tory stylee’ is strong which scares the shit out of me.

Im not being drawn past my original post.

Have you seen the shadow cabinet???

It’s pathetic. That’s the problem. May can be awful and still be ten times better. That’s irrefutable in my mind. Bad or bloody ghastly.

Good question that. I suppose it would be nice to have a PM who had been elected. She didn’t need a vote to take over the Tory party as all the competition knifed each other.

I’m not having a pop here just using your quote because it is recent. I am a bit surprised that people think Corbyn is such a potential calamity. He would be no more calamitous (ex ante) than May, Cameron, Brown, Blair, Major, Thatcher etc. For all the duffers in his shadow cabinet, can you really hold up the current bunch as shining lights?

Really pathetic set of choices available to us. Death by 1000 cuts or a leap into the wild red yonder…

Fuck.

Should he win I reckon he’d have quite a few more willing applicants.

Jeremy Corbyn is in favour of Brexit.

All the capable ones are waiting for him to lose and hoping he does as they can’t tolerate him.

The argument is logical and irrefutable. His own party disowned him. That’s not my opinion, hence me still posting. It’s fact.

Indeed,but the rest of his polices look far better to me than Mays.

He’s unelectable. He can have policies for free chocolate and 70 days off a year.

He’s not electable. If you concede that the rest is academic. Poor Mrs May is stuck with having to have a chance of managing to make her policies work in the real world.

She will be tested on them in a year or so. JC will never have to explain why his would bankrupt the economy. Or revel in the success. His words are chip wrapping and he knows it just as much as May knows her polices are going to be genuine issues when she wins.

Oh I see, I thought you were presenting it as a difference.
