Jo Swinson apologises for backing coalition's austerity policies
https://www.theguardian.com/politics...y_to_clipboard
Swinson claimed she was 'forced' to vote the way she did as she was a government minister. What she meant was she chose to do so to maintain her higher ministerial pay and perks.
A lot of working class labour voters in the valleys voted to leave , they may fall for the Tory spin machine , hold their noses and vote Tory , believing Boris and his bullshit bus that is saying they will get brexit done , in about ten years I suspect
I am not saying pontypridd and ogmore and merthyr and cynon valley will go true blue but I definitely think labour votes will be lost to the Tories in the valleys
People said the same about the 2017 election, when push comes to shove people can't stomach voting for them, also the Brexit Party will be standing in the Valleys, that's where the leave vote would be more likely to go
Also important to note that a lot of leave voters were people who didn't normally vote, so when people say "There's 52% of the population who'll vote X because of the Referendum" its not entirely true
yep and I see the headline returns in the Tory blueprint
Raising the National Insurance threshold, which the independent Institute for Fiscal Studies says will save workers about £85 per year
Ending the automatic release of serious violent and sexual offenders
Increasing the amount migrants pay for using the NHS
Finalising an agreement with mobile operators over countryside coverage
The Conservatives have also said they would introduce a number of pieces of legislation in the 100-day timeframe to take the first steps on other promises including:
A law to raise minimum per pupil funding in schools
A law to ensure £33.9bn is put into the NHS each year by 2023
A new points-based immigration system
The roll-out of gigabit broadband
Agreed. Impossible to conceive a Tory MP will be returned at the constituencies you mentioned and plenty more besides in South Wales at this General Election or any future ones because, let's be frank, a red rosette could be pinned on a Labour candidate who's a serial axe murderer and they would still canter home.
Will be voting Plaid. I'm not necessarily a big supporter of independence however Plaid will take a long time to get the MPs/AMs to genuinely advocate a indy ref, they have said they need at least 2 full Welsh Assembly terms before they would realistically like independence.
Other than that, they are a socialist party, I genuinely like the majority of their manifesto and ultimately they are the only party that will speak for Wales and push for investment in Wales. They are also pretty much the only party who haven't lied to peoples faces and backstabbed the public in any way (probably as they have never had significant powers).
Time to give a chance to Plaid (and in 2021).
I've sent off my postal vote for Plaid
Only party who cares about Wales
What a sad state of affairs in a modern soceity has a country we suffer from wanting a change , instead we just keep thinking about the coal and steel era and its dying embers of life , strangley the green agenda seems to support the removal of the heavy industrial manufacturing world .
Support for it is growing, there's been 3 marches in the past year each one attracting thousands of people and polling is showing support at around 25%, with one poll getting 33%
But you're right, let's all just vote Labour again, because its worked so well these past few decades
Confronted with the shambles of successive Tory governments over the last decade to enter a general election with them 10pc ahead in the polls either the general public or other political parties have lost their head. For me it's the latter. The Jeremy Corbyn Labour Party has been the most ineffectual and ineffective opposition to the chaos and embarrassment that has been perpetrated in our country's name over the last 4 years.
In sadness quite a bit of me wants Johnson to own the bullshit and false get it done hope he is pedalling so he can be held to account for the snake oil salesman he is, Still I owe it to my kids to try and register a vote that tries to give them the best future. Strangely in my constituency that means voting for the Labour candidate. Most of my life that would have been done willingly rather than reluctantly. If one outcome of the election is that Corbyn falls on his sword then it won't be a total disaster for me.
Broadly speaking, I agree with that, but I'm still struggling to bring myself around to voting Labour.
Sadly, I'm 100 per cent in the category discussed on Newsnight last night whose vote is going to be cast on the negative basis of trying to prevent a party from forming a majority Government rather than the positive approach which should, surely, be the way to go.
Yesterday's events gave us an insight into Johnson's character with the manner in which he sought to "deal" with awkward questioning (what on earth was he thinking of?) and his party's response to the situation as they tried to fabricate a story about a punch being thrown at one of their staff tells you all you need to know about the lowlife in high places of the what's in it for me party.
Backed by compliant political correspondents at the BBC and ITV, the lie would have been accepted as fact if the "punch" had not been filmed and, instead of nothing whatsoever appearing on the front pages of the Telegraph, Times, Mail, Express and Sun about what is being called Johnson's most awkward day of the campaign so far, those papers would have, doubtless, had lurid headlines about the assault on one of Matt Hancock's team plastered over their front pages.
There was a discussion on polling on Radio 5 I listened to yesterday and the thing which surprised me the most was that, apparently, 40 per cent of those who are going to vote were unable to name a single issue or event that had surfaced during the election campaign. That, for me, goes to the heart of why I think we're going to get a majority Conservative Government come Friday, but I live in a small amount of hope that the UK electorate will restore my faith in them and evict this disgrace of a Prime Minister and the party of spivs, shysters and no mark opportunists he leads.
Lib Dems tactically.
