Seriously come on, you don’t do you?? I think anyone in their right mind wants an end to the damage the tories have inflicted. The only alternative is to vote Labour.

Wolfie Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Got our postal vote stuff yesterday and I will be voting. However, I can honestly say this is the first time that I don't actually want to vote for any of them, for a variety of reasons. Tories: Boris & gang. even if they have managed to keep Rees Mogg gagged in a cupboard so far this campaign. Labour: Ambitious plans but likely to be bankrupt within a few years. Corbyn. Unions. Greens: Bankrupt quicker than Labour Lib Dems: Unilaterally cancelling Brexit & our candidate doesn't live in the constituency It's like having to choose your favourite STI.

Wolfie Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I actually think the Lib Dems have shot themselves in the foot with the cancelling Brexit thing. I've spoken a to a lot of people who think the same as me on this. Being a Remain party & even having a new referendum is one thing. Totally ignoring the first referendum is quite another. IMO.

A bit of a lazy assumption there. Reminds me of that clip of the Brexit Party MEP that someone posted just a few pages back. But a common assumption nevertheless. In this election in 2019, there are more important things on the agenda than continuous economic 'growth' or even Brexit for that matter. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2019/11/new-un-climate-report-offers-bleak-emissions-forecast Apparently the UK electorate still doesn't seem to grasp the seriousness of the current global environmental crisis (a pattern repeated in nearly every country) and instead seems to be poised to give the Boris Johnson, of all people, an overall majority. Although with the FPTP system, the electorate can hardly be blamed for being reluctant to vote for a smaller party, as it would often feel like a wasted vote.

TuffLuff Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 On 26/11/2019 at 18:13, Ghost of Clough said: As @DarkFruitsRam7 touched on, it’s the living costs which impact the affordability of going to University rather than Tuition Fees. An extremely low percentage of people receive enough through maintenance loans to cover rent, bills, food, etc... Mine wasn’t even enough to cover the rent! Tuition Fees have zero impact until after finishing Uni (start of the next tax year and earning above the current £25725 threshold). Even then, the amount repaid is negligible. I don’t see how removing Tuition fees makes it any more affordable to go to University, due to it not being a financial burden whilst studying. Even if you are correct, I’d argue that increasing the pool of applicants would simply increase the number of places on courses or even increase the number of courses available. Sorry Ghost had a really busy time leading up to the match on Tuesday so I never got back to you! Just for the point, I fully agreed with DarkFruits point and believe the whole system needs overhauling. Student renting alone is one of the biggest cons around, it’s only designed to exploit young people. As I understand it, labours policy isn’t just a random policy but from focus groups that say debt coming out of university is a big stigma. Fully agree that it isn’t entirely accurate in general terms, but I do think you have to address it if that’s a stigma that’s stopping people from going.
