    I never understand how doctors can leave the NHS for countries without one and somehow work under better conditions. Surely they're just hacking limbs off and drilling holes in heads in places like Australia and Canada.

    I'd like to see tonight's ones with the fieldwork since Labour promised free trumpet lessons and nationalising Rice Krispies. But if Con stays above 40 we're all good. LD/Lab are just competing for the same votes and it's hard to believe LD are going to do worse than last time.

    I saw a stray tweet the other day quoting a poll having the Nigel Party taking one of the Hull seats (albeit the one with the two dozen Conservative voters in). It's hard to see how the Conservative Party lose a load of 2017 votes, but there is still time for the Swinson Surge to melt away if remain dickheads realise that the Labour Party are actually the best bet for not leaving.

    'I would vote Labour, but my wife and I can't really afford to live in the area we live in, so we're with her.'

    If the Swinson surge melts away it will just help them in the south (although in the true ponce seats like where I live you will see massive Lib Dem gains).

    People in the south would vote for some conceivable Labour leaders, but Corbyn is poison.

    'Help to rent' is the worst policy I have heard in a long time. At least the commie shit from Labour makes sense on its own terms.

    Her definition of 'more' was genuinely embarrassing.

    I'm also now of the opinion that political parties should be fined (quite severely) if they say anything that can be objectively proved to be incorrect. It's reached epidemic proportions now and enough is enough.

    Is that something the electoral commission should be doing or is it only attempts to do anything iffy with the election itself they're responsible for?

    All sorts of drama going on a couple of streets away from me as the motorbike victim's family were trying to get into a hustings, and Dominic Raab's goons shunted them outside. There's a genuine feeling round 'ere that Raab could lose his 23,000 majority, which really would be some effort.

    I think I'm going Green this year. Although I think their 'Peoples vote' is a fool's errand. I just can't look at Jo Swinson. It's like Tony Blair if Cherie Blair was Tony Blair. They're campaigning hard though, so I'll be spotting that mug on my doorstep every time I come in from work.

    This is a large percent of my issue with him and the cabinet. The policies are good (however unrealistic you think they are) but does everyone have to be such a twat or nobody about it?

    However, can someone give me a convincing reason that voting for one of the two main parties isn't absolutely mental.

    As with all politics I'm a massive hypocrite considering I've spoiled a ballot in 2015.

    However at this point I think there's a very obvious choice about where you want the country to go (whether you think they can achieve it or not) and it's very much not the time to vote 3rd party.

    edit: Turns out it didn't matter anyway the entire time. I had no idea how Conservative Guildford and Godalming was/is. Carry on.

    edit2: Just found out Jeremy Hunt is 'my' MP.

    Exactly. It doesn't matter how Conservative (or at least Anti-Corbyn) the office is, we're surrounded by students. And ex-miners. All set in their ways.

    Dib Lems could win Guildford, but Hunt is safe.

    There's something really sinister about the way Corbyn almost always responds to specific questions about anti-semitism with "all racism is bad".

    Of course it is you tool, but you're specifically being asked about anti-semitism.

    He's just following the party line which is 'do not accept that we have an issue with Antisemitism'. Or at least, not to a greater extent than you find in the general public.

    I feel like he's getting a harder time for that despite Johnson and his cronies openly being racist, fascist cunts.

    The whole 'OMG A RABBI HAS CRITICISED' being perceived as more damaging than millions of minorities is hilarious as well. Fucking rabbis.

    It's ridiculous. The entire agenda of "Is Corbyn a secret racist?" is laughable when you look at Boris' track record. He's got a proven history of speaking and writing sexist, homophobic and racist views. Yet Corbyn get's crucified by the media for apparently "not doing enough" to prevent racism.
