It's either biased media reporting or some Labour MP's are doing their level best to dissuade people through their sheer incompetence at the very time they need to show their leadership credentials. Diane Abbott for example- not only didn't she have a clue how much policing costs but she then got lost on the stage at the police federation conference- you couldn't make it up! Without a credible alternative to Darth Mayder what chance do we have? frown

I think it will be closer than people think.


I think you may be right, especially if the Conservative party continue to shoot themselves in the foot.

After the bizarrely insane result of the last referendum, I will be surprised by nothing.

With luck this will be my last UK general election. I don't like this country any more.

Appropriately you'll have to convert the Coupe to the "left" first. smile

This statement sums up the UK to me frown

Every time we try to fund anything from state the selfish and greedy ensure they get in on the food chain. This ensures the investment rarely reaches the issue. Every time more money is pushed into the NHS we just see more bureaucracy tiers and streams of consultancy firms all swallowing up the money.

I would also argue that the whole UK structure is broken too. If you look at European tech firms their heads of department are usually highly skilled tech based people who really know their stuff. But in the UK you can be a manager of a burger chain one minute and in a high tech department the next. People are often employed on their management "experience" alone and our politicians are no different.

Both have no idea what it is they wish to manage they just want the job of managing. They then spend money employing the consultants, who are basically just glorified sales people. They too often have little idea but they will happily cost and advise a solution crazy
