You ought to give it a go.

Anecdotal and London-centric I know, but still surprised me.Originally posted by WordIsBond View PostWas just talking to someone in Scotland. He and several of his mates have agreed to vote for whoever they think has the best chance of beating the SNP in their constituency. For them, it's not a Brexit election, it's an Indyref2 election, and they think Nicola needs to take a beating (in political terms only, of course ).Comment

For the first time in years, I'm actually not going to bother to vote.
Completely disinterested and uninspired.
Tories leave a nasty taste in the mouth. Labour are a shambles, Ukip probably have served their purpose.
That leaves the Lib Dems & since they've always been strong on a local level in the SW they'd be the favourites to get my vote if I bother, even though I voted for Brexit.Comment

It's already tactical in that May doesn't want to win the way people think. She wants a resurgence of Lib Dems to wipe out Labour so she can say she's listened to the people and Brexit is the wrong path and will hold another referendum. She doesn't want a stronger hand she wants to fold and get a new hand.
It's obvious that despite the UK seemingly holding strong cards (net contributor to the EU, net importer of goods that other countries will still want to sell whatever happens) the shackles (from the people with the real power) that bind any government will mean it's a typical cluster**** as per most government initiatives. Seen time and again in U-turns.
There's as much chance of May getting a Brexit that would be in the UK's interest as there is Trump getting a wall across the border with Mexico that would be in the USA's interest.
So like most elections it's just a load of bollox. They'll promise and not even attempt to deliver yet the population still fall for it every time.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

As for the Tories, well they are at the same time accused of pulling us further to the right but at the same time endorsing the "fairness" trend with a clear plan to increase taxes. I don't believe raising taxes is necessary or helpful.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
