Renton 17623 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 There was one last week that had labour 8 ahead I think. Whatever though, agree labour should be doing much better given the state of the economy alone let alone Brexit bollocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things haven't changed for those who vote tory - pensioners and those in work who are doing okay. It's not as if they're going to start giving a fuck about anyone else.

I know you like to paint them as the pensioners, shires and bankers, but the folk who change governments are just average workers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general when the libs are down as they are now, the UK reverts to an almost US situation where blocks vote labour or tory and its decided by those who don't have that loyalty and imo tend to vote selfishly. That suited Blair as a lot of those people wanted to be seen as being part of the zeitgest at the time. The outlier now is the youth vote - I don't think they've got the same loyalty instinct so they're up for grabs and as the tories have ignored and shat on them for years, they were easy pickings for the non-traditional appeal of Corbyn. If they stay engaged its going to be hard for the tories to make inroads into that group as it stands. I'd love to see a Spanish flu type culling of the old to at least reset the ground rules from the incredibly selfish hands of the baby boomers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4949 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Still think if a GE shows up on the horizon, Labour should win it. The poll that came closest to predicting the outcome of the last GE is the one that has Labour 8 points ahead as well. If they mobilise the youth vote, they'll win. Especially since they were on the defensive last time. That said, I don't think we will get a GE any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sheep, those who believe what they’re told by politicians? Yes its cynical but but it’s very apparent to me we’ve been constantly lied to and belittled by those in power my entire adult life. Voting for any mainstream party is becoming a pointless act. A likely hung parliament with Corbyn at the helm will change fuck all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see the Labour "rebels" and full party machinery actually give 100% at a general election as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that remains to be seen though. They were clearly keen to avoid tarnishing their 'brand' last time out. They may think they'll get control of the party back if Corbyn fails this time, so they still may take a very backseat role. But yeah, would be nice to see them come out swinging.

Gemmill 34167 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 The CEO of Persimmon is due to receive a £132m bonus this year - the bonus scheme is linked to the share price, which went through the roof following the introduction of Help to Buy. He receives the first payment of £50m on new years eve. Money basically funneled directly from the public purse into his bank account. Good old Tories.

They also themselves (directors and shareholders) buy shares to boost the price and then channel the bonuses, dividends and perks offshore to shell companies.
