And the only reason they can give me is "Not that bloody Corbyn"... It's a sad reflection on current politics and specifically this election. I'm sure there will be a large number of people voting for the leader they dislike/don't trust the least not necessarily because they support the party (or their work of fiction. Sorry I mean manifesto) they voted for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect if others want to vote a different way. I won’t be happy if the vote goes against me but that’s democracy I have to say, I don't get that respect from your posts on this thread but as long as we all respect the result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t go through life without making the odd fook up along the way. I'd deem Boris as making far more than 'the odd fook up'. Anyway, it's not hugely relevant to the question of who to vote for. I was just baffled as to how someone can love him as much as Curtains does. I'm sure Corbyn has some skeletons in his closet, and, as a politician, he's automatically not going to be my favourite person. But, I'm 99% sure he's a better bloke than Johnson.

We will have to disagree on that one, I’d rather not spend time with either but if I did it would not be one that comes across as a terrorist sympathiser.

Wolfie20 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Now the day has arrived, what a dreadful choice confronts us to select a leader - a hooray Henry or a left-wing lame duck - I have a feeling Labour will rue the day Corbyn was elected. I've never been so disillusioned about the future leadership of this country of ours - to the point of seriously considering abstention - oh for a John Smith to pull people closer together. Both main parties are as bad as each other, churning out lie after lie, either coming out with promises they'll never deliver but which pander to their supporters or issuing scare-mongering statements about the other side. No serious votable alternatives sadly. Never mind, to serve us we have the cringe-worthy buffoon Michael Fabricant who is a shoe-in for another 5 years which says it all really.

Having enough hatred for one of the two main parties, that you fall out and harbour dislike for people who vote for them though, that doesn't sit right with me. It's almost entitlement. It's the ugly side effect of elections, I can't stand it. It's not purely based on one comment, he's been winding us all up for years. Perfectly reasonable to tire of so much bull dung...

You're right. The banter when we end up with another decade of austerity because Boris' bum boys from the city, who promised they wouldn't sod off to Germany as soon as poo hits the fan, will be epic ?
