Oh ****...

Labour performance should make Vale look like they have had a good season!

[JOHNNYAITCH]

Let's hope Labour, the Lib Dems etc step up and run good campaigns and give the Conservatives a run for their money

A second referendum after all, with austerity and the NHS for good measure.

[Guppy 4 England]

Anyone who votes labour needs their head looking at. Corbyn isnt even wanted by his own party let alone the electorate. He had the perfect and easiest way to win votes, attack the tories for the NHS, yet he even fails to do that and appointing that abbots woman was political suicide.

 

Unfortunately there is no competition, walk over for the tories and another 5 years of rubbish.

 

We need a new party, cant see it happening anytime soon.

[For Us All]

People will be fed up of hearing about grammer schools and the NHS over the next seven weeks.

Cant say I blame her... poison dwarf already crowing for the SNP

If people vote thinking it will reverse brexit they would be mistaken.

Pound has made a few jumps after the announcement so Im all for it

But what type of Brexit? access to the Market or not?

It's clever from the tories but how much will people see this as a power grab, pouncing whilst Labour are weak and after triggering article 50. That's the only thing that will go against them. It's theirs to lose for sure.

 

I think it would be a disaster to change government in the middle of the negotiations.

Have we started negotiations yet?

Simple choice really,who would you want to be PM,May or Corbyn?

[Santa]

As long as May's majority is relatively small, the far right Eurosceptics in her party hold a lot of sway. If she increases her majority then in theory they will hold less power and she has a stronger hand to pursue a much more sensible path (eg single market, customs union etc.) than the hard Brexit she's been talking up.

 

It's a gamble. May will lose seats (some Con-Lib Dem marginals will turn yellow) and she will win others. Her gains have to substantially outweigh her losses for it to have been a worthwhile exercise.

I dont know much about politics but even i know corbyn is an ********. The problem we have got is pretty much everyone in stoke always votes labour and they always win around here.

I'd say so yes, and the election will be in June as well.

[Andy Proctor]

The election is meant be june 8th
