I don't believe you, it's not hard to name ONE single current UK politician who supports your political views.
There is no logical reason for refusing to do so.
The silence from you and your ilk is deafening.
Maybe those people who haven't listed anyone just can't be bothered with your constant willy waving. This "oh look what Wings has said," as though its the gospel according to Saint Nicola. You decry the hard right, whoever they are, from a position of being a far left nationalist.
There's plenty of far right politicians out there, well and truly in the public eye. Why do you need someone to name them for you? The "no logical reason for refusing to do so" is very logical. You're not worth the effort.

Sounding very like Theresa (how dare there be any opposition) May!
I don't mind intelligent opposition, and without it we'd be in a bigger mess than we are on the rocky road to Brexit, but mindless willy waving... it just gets wearing. Where's the engagement in a willy waving debate? "Name a right winger." Why? I'd much prefer to find a centre-ist that I could vote for.
SNP socialist policies - great, but what about funding them. Tory stripping benefits policies, they've gone too far. Far (Islington) looney left Labour, taking it to the bad old days of Michael Foot. Rabid Farron... to be honest, I can't find anyone I want to vote for.

How about the SNP leader. She refused to commit to the EU if Scotland became independent so she must be in favour of leaving.

The logical reason is that it seems to be getting to you. Dont worry too much though, given time and medication you will probably get over it.

Not getting to me in the at all. I am super cool.
I just find it amazing that a group of fairly loud political radicals on this thread cannot name one politician would represent their views.

Come on then, you tell us who you think we should choose as you are so 'Cool' about it.

The only radical appears to be you. Once again I give you the leader of the SNP who is openly against being a member of the EU stating they had no plans to apply for membership if Scotland became independent.

Struth Davidson there trying to defend the indefensible.
My English friends tell me that the rape clause/two child cap is hardly on the radar in the South of England, is this true?

Must admit I hadn't heard of the issue until it was raised on a thread on these pages.
For some reason it's not a story down here
Not sure why it isnt

I dont understand what the alternative is. Is it that any Woman saying she was raped or coerced into conceiving a child should be enough to allow them additional child benefits. I dont believe anyone considers a genuine case should be denied and I also believe that the Woman does not have to give all the details themselves. If people think the Government are wrong here then please explain how they believe it should be managed?
When Diane Abbott had her meltdown yesterday she stated that she "mis spoke". Has she just invented a new word? Has anyone ever heard someone using that before?

not new, not that unusual a term or verb to use, common enough.
Was the Greens leader last time (2015) on radio I recall getting all in a muddle, not defending Dianne Abbott but we all get a mental block / brain fatigue sometimes especially when pressured. Maybe she should just resort to repeating a slogan ad nauseum as a standard response to every question.

No problem with any politician have a brain fade moment. It shows they are human. I've just never heard that phrase before and thought it made her look silly. Bit of a conscious uncoupling moment for me.

You're right, it was an odd choice of words but she had to think of something, couldn't just say "Look we've just made that new policy on policing up yesterday to win votes and I failed to prepare for questioning on it" which is very likely the case. It was a blip in a long campaign. We the electorate are pretty fed up with this general election campaign already so will jump on politicians on all sides making a balls up, it amuses us but in the bigger picture I don't think her struggles yesterday are going to impact the election result or the way people vote, if it was Corbyn struggling then maybe.

Very common expression, especially in politics where foot in mouth disease is becoming ever more prevalent.
