General Election

[NellieMay]

Perhaps the right time to do a poll on how we would vote? Personally I dont think canvassing or csmpsigns will make any difference. We are all pretty sure of our intentions!

[Khandro]

The most left-wing countries within the EU are Sweden & the Netherlands,
Enough said?

[naomi24]

No, Khandro, not enough said. They are not hard left. Far from it.

[Khandro]

n. I'm on your side here. e.g. Sweden is run by a bunch of socialist lesbians.
Gun crime, bombings & rape are the highest in the EU. They have appointed an immigrant (because of this fact) as head of the Archaeological Museum who confesses he knows nothing about archaeology.
Sweden has rapidly become a basket case.

[spathiphyllum]

That's what happens when you become overly PC and diverse for the sake of being diverse.

Danny - that link is from a Daily Mail correspondent so of course it's pure scare-mongering on behalf of the Tory party.

[Arksided]

I can't recall a time ever being so lost as to whom to vote for.

[dannyk13]

Diddly, How about the Financial Times ?

[diddlydo]

The FT? Yet another Tory rag, along with the Times.

[dannyk13]

Diddly, what a load of codswallop.

[NellieMay]

10 Claron Street. This was posted in Editors Blog, not newswhich no thought the Editor might have noticed. and, by the way I was never a Tory voter, but its the only Party I can support now, and I will!

[naomi24]

Khandro, unusual I know ... but I agree with spath. That's not hard-left politics - that's sheer stupidity.

diddly, any answer to my question?

[Jackdaw33]

I have always been a Tory voter, though I regret ever having voted for Heath.

[diddlydo]

Naomi - you haven't answered mine.

[naomi24]

For anyone who's interested, there's an AB poll here:

[naomi24]

Diddly, What was your question?

[naomi24]

diddly, this is the only question I can find from you to me ....

//Why mention the "hard left"//

...and I answered it.

// Because Corbyn, McDonnell, Abbott (all main players in a potential Labour government) - and the Labour string pullers, Momentum, are hard left - and if Labour is elected that's what the country will get. //

Your turn.

[NellieMay]

Thanks Naomi, added today. I should have looked.

[diddlydo]

Naomi - I said I couldn't answer your question unless you told me to which countries you're referring. I haven't been everywhere in the world!
