Ge 2017

If anyone is wondering what the issue with "snowflake" is, have a google and see who and how it was used by the right wing/nazis,
 
I can only put it this way:

[SIZE=+1]If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;

[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1][SIZE=+1]Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man/Woman, my Son/Daughter![/SIZE]

What on earth is that rubbish supposed to mean in the context of a GE.
Are you saying you want a idiotic gambler to be our leader.

I like the way the generation labelled as snowflakes are responding. There's been some very articulated responses. They still have the idealism of the young, without the cynicism of some of the older generations. And more importantly they are willing to defend a society for all, not the few.

its a reminder to be ambitious for society, and a big thank you to them for championing it. Does it fit with running the country as a hard nosed business? The country's doesn't have to be run that way.

The more time I spend in Spain, the more I realise that society should always come first. You can be struggling to sort the loose change in your pocket and someone else in the queue will divvy up for you. Kids walking back from school will say hola. We've become too selfish.

Totally agree Brian, we laughed at their moaning after the last GE and Brexit, now we take the p!ss because they turned up and lost.

TM showed no grace or humility yesterday after winning the most seats, but how anyone can rejoice or be happy with the situation is beyond me.

This is the worst case scenario and until our elected leaders starting trying to build bridges and work closer together these divisions are only going to widen.

Great post. A country has to be about more than just its economy.
 
Are you just posting to prove that you're not in hiding? I never thought you were.

Oh, and I'd appreciate it if you stopped the insults and generalisations please. You're smarter than that.
You've got it. Don't want to disappoint some on here who have been throwing insults around themselves, just wanted them to understand what it's like.
 
"Is it really tenable for the ordinary English working families of Kensington to have a Tory government imposed on them by Scottish MPs?"

:D
 
Is anyone worried that we have no one capable of leading the country ? Irrespective of which party was voted for. Corbyn seems like a decent bloke, but I fear he'd get eaten alive by Brussels, Russia, China and the USA. May is power crazy and terrible unless reading from a script. This leads me to believe that she can't think for herself or articulate an opinion.

Im as big a floating voter as it gets. Slightly more red than blue but I've swung both ways and stopped in the middle. I've always focused on policies rather than the party, but also considered strong leadership as a key factor also. This time round it was like deciding whether to poke yourself in the left eye or the right.

Ruth Davidson and David Milliband are the only two that have impressed me in recent times. I'd love to see two strong characters like these leading the race.

Naw..I have worked that one out.
It's the number of votes cast by the live in butlers, gardeners, housemaids, nannies, drivers ,security staff, and 'bed warmers' that swung it.
