Well, nice to see that after stealing most of UKIPs policies they are now stealing some of Labour's on Social Care. Strong and stable as she goes...

OK, here is a generic thing I don't understand. And it's not about any single party,it's about all of them.
There are people that voted conservatives, and will b doing all their life. And there are people that are voting labour, and will be all their life. Same in the US with Democrats and Republicans, same in Germany with CDU and SPD, same all over the place.
Going back to the UK, what makes people that voted for Blair now vote for Corbin? What makes people that voted for Cameron now vote for May? They are so far apart from each other, they are basically voting for a different party but with the same name?
If you voted for Tony's 'war mongering' politic, why vote 'lefty' Corbin? If you voted for David's open society, why vote for 'hard Brexit' May?

I voted for Blair twice, I believed he was a good statesman and had the makings of a good prime Minister. I lost faith in him later due to the way he and brown behaved and his policy of mass immigration. Most of my life I have voted Tory but I am capable of voting for others if I can see they would be better for the country. Thats why Corbyn would never have my vote.

The longer this election campaign goes on, the more difficult it is getting to fathom why anyone would vote for TM and her policies.

But you are looking at the situation through filters. You have a filter that removes anything positive from the Tories and probably no filter for Labour. Any reasonable person could pick out some policy from any of the Parties that they could go along with.

I think one of the main reasons will be because of the alternative.

Worrying that TM will be responsible for brexit negotiations with her track record of capitulating when things get difficult.

Her interview yesterday was completely laughable. If anyone ever tried to use "strong" or "stable" to describe her they couldn't be further from the truth. Combine that with keeping policies away from key members of her cabinet, her ineptitude answering questions that aren't fully scrited, her constant need to shout "Corbyn" everytime she struggles with her answer then I genuinly think that she could be the worst prime minister in the last 20/30 years. No backbone, doesn't appear to have any views that aren't liable to extreme change, can't handle questions. JC I definitely didn't think was the answer at the start of this, but I would prefer him 100x over TM.

It certainly makes you wonder...but I am not going to pass any judgement on her today.

Looking forward to May getting involved in a head to head with Corbyn tonight to finally silence those critics who say she's got no bottle, and she is being protected by Central Office by only doing tame, stage-managed safe appearances in case she drops a clanger.
She'll finally show us...
Eh, what's that? She's not going head to head? Bottled it again? Really?
You're kidding!! :mmm:

Both bottled it and both agreed to the format but let's not let facts get in the way of a post.

Ah yes, of course. I was rather foolishly basing my post on the link below and countless other similar news agency reports - right from Huffington Post down to the very bottom of the barrel Daily Fail as my source. Silly old me.

Am I missing something here. CORBYN and May are about to debate on Channel 4. You do realise the link you've posted is from April...?

Yes they are - but crucially not at the same time. Separate segments I'm afraid and not appearing together. Hence no head to head debating or interaction.

I thought she came across very well. Just the leader we need to get a good deal from Brexit.
Tonight's leaders questions.
May, 6/10. Spoke well but didn't really have a lot of substance behind her answers to the audience's questions. Too often reverted to we'll sort the detail after the GE. Sorry but I want to know what I'll be voting for, not what might happen.
Corbyn, 7/10. A better performance than May but all too often reverted to sound bite politics. "Ungoverned regions;" Sounds quite impressive when you hear him talking about it. In reality the debate about lack of governance is, to a large extent, a red herring. Do large swathes of Africa, the Middle East and South America actually need governing when nobody lives there?
Paxman; appalling interviewing of both candidates. Far too often he didn't let either finish answering, and often went off track himself. Very disappointing.
At least Labour's manifesto has concrete proposals, albeit I'm still not convinced they are costed. Bonds to renationalise industries is still borrowing, whatever Labour wants to call it.
Not sure which is the lesser of 2 evils.
