                I tend to think is Corbyn should get in he wont last long.
                I think his own party will finish him off once he starts doing all the crackpot stuff he says he will.
                The country will probably be broke in his first 6 months though.

                Trouble is, who to vote for? I would rather apply electrical probes to my gentleman vegetables than vote Tory.

                  He's an idiot! He came across to me, as an angry protester within a small mob. His aides found a string that the public identified with and his rhetoric changed and votes went up but I don;t believe that it was his voice anymore. He can't make a decision (common to certain other party leaders...), can't control his own party and constantly changes his position. Just how the F he got the top job is a wonder. Not to mention his continuation of Dianne Abbot who is simply laughable.

                  Country has been broke for years, that won't change just be packaged differently.

                  I would like to see a change in current leadership of both main parties; I'd like to see them instil some discipline back into the ranks and force some intelligent and modern change into the way the British politicians conduct themselves as a part of a manifesto. The last couple of years has been an embarrassment. Only after this would I like to see a GE.

                  Oh, and sort Brexit, natch.

                    I think there's a chance that the MPs will vote for a deal before May the 23rd now that Farage is threatening to have a candidate for every MEP constituency. There's a chance that they may do very well simply as a protest vote. :noidea:

                          Well we've had an excellent Tory MP for the last 10 or so years. He's totally transformed our town with his input and getting deals done in the local area. So it would be a no-brainer for me.

                            We have an excellent Tory MP (he also came to our Open Garden :heehee:) and before that we had an excellent Labour MP.

                            For most of the time our MEP has been Labour and he's rubbish! He was just as rubbish when he was our local councillor 30 years ago!
