After Nine Years Of A Tory Government

[TheDevil]

Child poverty is +50%
Food bank use is +1000 %
Homelessness is +170 %
NHS waiting lists are +70%
Police numbers are -20%
Crime is +30%
Local gov funding is -50%
Public sector pay is -15%.

I'll wait for people to say "Yeah but at least Boris isn't a terrorist sympathiser" or something negative about Tony Blair.

The labour party’s manifesto is not bias or propaganda. It is their manifesto.

Peace Lily,
Do you believe this honest straight man of the people is fit to govern?

'The labour party’s manifesto is not bias or propaganda'

Haaaaaaaaa! You're deluded, my friend.

[New Judge]

All manifestos published by all political parties are bias and propaganda. They are designed to persuade you to vote for them so they dare not tell the truth.

[TheDevil]

Retrocop - "Do you believe this honest straight man of the people is fit to govern?"

Of course not.

[Zacs-Master]

Exactly, NJ. Anyone believing that a political party will deliver everything in their manifesto is, at best, politically naive.

[TheDevil]

So, we can't beleive what is in a manefesto. What can we beleive? Well history doesn't lie, and in the OP are statistics impling that progression with a Tory government may not be the social progrrssion we need.

Of course, Boris can't be personally blamed for the past nine years.

[retrocop]

//No, but it helps to be able to understand the position of the 'average Joe'. Mr Corbyn takes pride in the fact that he rides trains, talks to the homeless etc.. These are qualities of a good leader.//

Respect those at the bottom as well as you would those at the top. It's honourable.

Ho Ho Ho
He has the qualities of a good leader but of course you wouldn't vote for him. :-)

Same old contradictory nonsense from the same person with a different name.

[TheDevil]

I've not condradicted myself. Corbyn does have good qualities to be a leader. More so than Johnson who refers to people was Piccaninnies but there is not one party leader who I feel is fit to govern our country especially through current tides.

It may come as no surprise to some, that I feel a confident, young and arrtactive woman needs to take the reins.

Retrocop - " Respect those at the bottom as well as you would those at the top. It's honourable."

That is where the problem lies. You need to be equal as a PM. However, the Tory party are only concerned for the upper crust. My Corbyn is more concerned for the pie's filling.

There is more filling than crust.

TheDevil no such woman is in the running.

Mr Corbyn *

I know spelling mistakes should not be discussed, but I feel it is essential to mention that I do not regard Mr Corbyn as "Mine" and I don't see him as "My" Corbyn.

Dannyk13 - "TheDevil no such woman is in the running. "

That is why I mentioned that "there is not one party leader who I feel is fit to govern our country especially through current tides."

[retrocop]

You feel a woman P.M. has to be young and attractive???
Jeeeeeez. They want to give 16 year olds the vote??? That's the Spath criteria for suitable leadership. :-)

[TheDevil]

When I say young, I mean a lady aged less than 55.

[TheDevil]

Age isn't as critical as being powerful. I wonder how Boris and Jeremy would react to a stong, sarcy, attractive young women who had her head firmly screwed on? It would send them quaking in their boots.

[retrocop]

and she has to be attractive??? Lol

[dannyk13]

Spath //When I say young, I mean a lady aged less than 55.//
Still not one in contention

[TheDevil]

Retrocop, yes. You would be surpised to know how an attractive, young, knowledgeable and confident women can shake up a male boomer who has an unflated ego.

Dannyk13, I am not sure why this word keeps cropping up. Is your definition of the word different to mine?

I find it is not needed in discussion.

I am actually bemused with regard your criteria for suitable leadership. I can't say that many 'average joes' worry about facial features when choosing a P.M. It's not a ruddy beauty pageant.
