It's just a bad habit and a complete waste of a vote. Plaid is the only real Welsh party who will defend our interests. Go on, waste your votes on Corbin and reap what you sow yet again.
I've yet to speak to any voter who were enthused by the party they voted for or planned to vote for. People seem to place their X next to what they believe is the best of a bad bunch.
All I've got to say is that, about six weeks into the campaign, I'm far more likely to vote Labour now than I was when the election was called - I'm still no fan of Corbyn, but, Dianne Abbott apart, I feel he and his party are having a good campaign and I really like their manifesto.
Well positioned ,I think a lot of Labour voters may well take that view , I know I'm one ,and many ive chatted have confirmed the same , it's upsetting after all these years of loyalty to Labour I find myself in this position .
I think with Brexit coming and the uncertainty of the world's security these times need experienced tough people.
We need a strong and stable leadership to put your busy mind at rest.
Repeat after me ... Strong & Stable Strong & Stable Strong & Stable Strong & Stable Strong & Stable Strong & Stable Strong & Stable Strong & Stable Strong & Stable Strong & Stable ... ZZZZZZzzzzzz
May is doing a good job of throwing away a 6-0 halftime lead. Not sure we could get more incompetent than that although I am sure Corbyn will prove me wrong tonight and plumb some new depths.
Pray tell, what has this Government, with all of it's experience of being in charge of the country themselves or in coalition actually achieved? Although unemployment figures are always massaged to show any Government in the best possible light and questions could be asked about the sort of jobs that have been created, I concede their record on jobs is good, but where else can they be said to have succeeded?
The Conservative party are supposed to be the ones who are the soundest when it comes to finances and yet there has been a litany of targets not reached or that have had to be "adjusted" because they were taken longer to achieve than first thought - in many cases, what was supposed to have been reached by 2015, will now, we are told be achieved by 2020, or probably 2022, now.
The news this week that net immigration was running at nearly two and a half times above the target that our strong and stable leader was supposed to achieve during the coalition Government was being presented as a triumph of sorts by some, because it represented an improvement on the more than three times over target figure during the last year when she who must be obeyed was running the Home Office.
Despite her party's attempts to steal defeat from the jaws of victory, I still expect our strong and stable leader to be Prime Minister on June 9, but if enough voters get the "Emporer's New Clothes" analogy when applied to her in the way that this writer clearly does with his remarks in the first three paragraphs of his piece

then I might just turn out to be wrong.

I'm not actually sure our present overlords are these tough experienced people. They are running quite possible the worst election campaign in history. Michael fallon being interviewed on channel 4 was so bad I almost felt sorry for him. Theresa May is a mess of mediocrity and as for Boris....
They'll probably still win but I hope the cocky bastards have as much anxiety as possible the next two weeks with opinion polls hopefully narrowing some more.
I wasn't very pro Corbyn but he's changed my mind and looks far more dignified, assured and intelligent then anyone in the Conservatives. I have a feeling the press will keep sniping and the IRA Sinn Fein story will keep getting regurgitated.
God help us all when the Tories get back in , quite simply the worst collective class of politicians I've ever seen.

Maybe not in the Diane Abbott class, but not far off it - thanks for the mention of this interview .
Why would you need proof that his interventions were successful for them to be considered well intentioned?
I just get the impression most people have already made their mind up and short of Corbyn going 'okay fine I bloody love the IRA!' they won't believe a word he says on the matter.
This might come across as a bit insensitive but it doesn't matter a great deal to me. These things are always a bit more complicated than we like to think - We were on team Saddam, then we hate Saddam. We were on team Gaddafi then we hate Gaddafi. The reality is that the British did some terrible things in Ireland and the IRA did terrible things in Ireland and here. I would prefer if this election were fought on policies and the future rather than mud slinging.
