Come on, who is worse off with a Tory/May government. The sick, poor, disabled, middle class, basically anyone not in the top 5%, not to mention elephants and foxes. Human rights and basic minimum wage will be renegotiated post Brexit to the detriment of nearly all citizens. This is just the tip.

I think it's hard to start off a discussion on solid footing if you think that conservatives (small or large C) genuinely care less about the poor and middle class than those on the left.

I don't know where to start, Spenno. How can you possibly agree with May's manifesto and disagree with Corbyn's? I just can't see how anyone could.

You need to look into most of Spenno's trump posts. It will all make sense.

I'm not at all pro-Trump in the same way that I'm pro-May. I would take almost any conservative candidate before Trump, who I think is an unlikeable buffoon entirely out of his element who nonetheless managed to highlight important issues, but I really like May.

That the Tories genuinely have policies to the detriment of the poor and sick. Yes I do believe that.

Even if you detest the Tories, I can't see how you can defend Corbyn as being suitable for the office of Prime Minister.

He would (thankfully, only a hypothetical) be an abject disaster for the UK.

Worth reading:
(Obvious retort: you can make a similar case in some respects against Trump and in both cases you'd be absolutely right, they're both men who in a just world would never stand a chance at holding political office; that said, I think Corbyn is clearly worse.)

Took me 10 minutes from lounge to booth back to lounge this morning to vote. Not bad, considering the walk was about 3-4 minutes either way.

Isn't the Spectator a conservative magazine? Obviously it would push against Corbyn.

How about the Lib Dems? Strange system where a party with 10% only gets 3 MPs.

In a way, yes. But in another way, it's all still very confusing.

I was in London last year for the Brexit vote. It was fun seeing all of the people on the streets asking everyone, "hey, did you vote yet?" I said I was from America and they said that's ok, you were a colony once!

Is that a present day ad?

It's not a Tory leaflet, and was distributed by racists in a local election in Clapham in 1970:

Feels weird bringing it up in 2016, no matter who you support.

Thanks for responding since jorge didn't bother... I was assuming as much since the UK is much more evolved than the US in "diversity", but figured I'd ask.

Can't agree. Think it's a real shame they are leaving. Europe working together can only be a good thing.
