Re: General election
Yes the Tory candidate early doors. He's a Giants fan and lives in Bury.
I asked him would he vote for the return of fox hunting in a free vote in parliament. He said no to which I replied that's good there's more important things than fox hunting and satisfying the blood lust of a few.
He asked would I get his vote and I replied as a Wigan fan I'd rather St Helens win the challenge cup!
He said thanks for your time and walked off.
What interested me was he was out in his jeans but I'll bet he'd have his suit on to go and visit the toffs up Bradshaw!?!

Re: General election
No candidates been here. 5 Con leaflets, 1 Labour and 1 Lib Dem.
Surprising as this is a 400 winning vote majority constituency.

Re: General election
Looking at bookies' odds and polls, it's clear that Tories will win. My guess is they'll have a broadly similar majority as they have now. Might gain a couple of seats in Scotland.
Interesting article in i paper. Quotes book by professor who says that calling an early election invariably shows PM sees problems round the corner (ie Brexit deal in this case). Thatcher was advised to go for early election in 82 on crest of wave after Falklands. She refused because she had confidence in winning later in 84.

I don't really mind people talking about whatever the interviewer wants and I'm sure there are plenty of intelligent people on botth sides but the car crash episodes are the ones that should scare us.Caboosegg wrote:in your opinion.Welski wrote:.and from the intelligence shown do far anyone who votes labour is putting this country at severe risk.
there have been plenty on none car crash labour interviews but none of these seem to make the news or be talked about.
May goes on the one show and talks about shoes..... shoes.....

her record isnt exactly brilliant.
Surely you can see it's not just in my opinion after recent events?

Re: General election
What May will do with anything less than a 30 majority I don't know.
If she does end up with a majority as now, 12, then there'll be all sorts of trouble in the Con Party. Can't see her being leader in 2022.
I do think that if she can't get any kind of a deal with the EU and we are facing no Single Market, Customs Union, Trade Tariffs. Import Quotas and Anti Dumping Fines she'll go for a 2nd referendum.
That should be good fun!

Let's is a contraction of “let us.” You use it to make suggestions about what you and someone else should do. Let's is NOT a promise

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure
