Alternatively don’t vote at all and hold on tight smile

We are basically being asked to choose between a st sandwich or st on toast.

Neither is that palatable but it’s amazing how many people are happy to be fed st !

Ultimately there are only a handful of key seats, and therefore a relatively small slice of the population who actually matter.

What most do us do is going to have limited effect.

What a few do so going to have either a big one or a very big one.

The defence of him seems to be that the other bloke is worse. He might well be, but it is a choice between to dreadful leaders. One has beliefs that I think are wrong, the other has none. Not a lot going for either.

I'm lucky in my constituency in that there's an alternative. The lib dems are building up a bit of a power base. They won't win the seat in all probability, but if there's a good showing, they might be in with a chance at the next. Yet I'm in a 'safe' tory seat. It could be that the libdems will hold the balance of power after this election or the next. In the current situation of the main parties moving away from the centre, a centralist party might hold the key to non-extreme policies. There's this central coalition that seems to be gaining a bit of momentum, if you'll excuse that word.

I've not been a member of a political party since my teenage years, and then I was a member of both the young conservatives and the young socialists (it was complicated). I feel the urge to join the lib/dems. If it was only to stick two fingers up against the parties who treat me with contempt then that would be good enough, but I think the central coalition might be my only hope of a sensible government.

With Gove and Mogg being kept hidden in a dark, probably damp, place for the duration of the campaign, it should be remembered that they are waiting to jump out on an unsuspecting electorate when their unprincipled leader takes power. Not a pleasant thought.

Could be a challenge, not sure Boris cares about anyone except himself.
Not sure he helped himself in a press conference later.

Apparently he was asked about his earlier conduct twice and both times just ducked it and went off into political pitch.

It's not a defence it's a statement - of the bleedin' obvious. Corbyn, McDonnell, Abbott, Rayner, and that 'Boris is a Tory' muppet are in no way a government in waiting.

I think your first sentence sums up the concern that many have over Boris.

I sincerely doubt it’s going to be enough to stop him breaking the winner’s tape on Friday morning but it is something he needs to sort out and pronto to avoid becoming embarrassment and therefore sitting duck for forces within his own party.

He was recently described somewhere as an intellectual classicist lacking in intelligence which sounds about right.
Yes, a fair summary I think. If I controlled the Tory campaign machine, I'd try to get Boris to contract Norovirus or something (well, not literally, just something to keep him out of sight for two more days).

Amusing irony that Corbyn decides to (rather badly) pull on the US beer pump from all those on offer !

I’ve had quite a few and it’s usually flat. The CO2 must be a recent introduction.

Coors Light is an American light beer, not cider.

Typical Corbyn, selling our beer pumps to the Americans.

And wow, never seen such a poor job of pulling a pint!

He meant the one being pulled by Pinocchio. It's Thatcher's, a cider.

Real or manufactured, can anyone honestly say this reaction is befitting of the prime minister of one of the greatest nation's on our planet? Puerile schoolboy bullying as usual. It is as pathetic as it is indefensible. Can/will anyone, regardless of the colour of their rosette, mount a genuine defence for this isolated incident? Does it colour you view of this man? It has merely validated mine
I think most open-minded rational people are already totally aware that the guy is a moron. This simply reinforces the point and highlights a total lack of empathy and emotional intelligence.

But I would still vote Tory in this GE even if Bojo went to the hospital and chucked the poor kid out of the window. All I care about is keeping the Marxists out of power. What a dreadful state of affairs this is. Bring back Cameron, bring back Blair; I yearn for dull, stable politics.

Which is a look squirrel would you prefer Labour taking donations from foreign countries or Labour paying for taxis for 'supporters' to go to the hospital and 'protest'
