how anyone could vote labour is beyond me, corbyn would bankrupt the uk, open the floodgates
for migrants, in an already over crowded island, he's pro hamas and ira, wants to ban the bomb.
money forrest corbyn belongs in the 70's when as they said the strike is solid... as for diane abbott words fail me, is it a protest vote and or happy migrants.

Helly....don't all Parties promise what their voters want to hear ?

See the thread on Kensington, to get an idea of how disastrous a night it was for May.
I agree it was disastrous for TM, but I trust her far more than I would ever trust JC. And don't get me started on DA or the other man who has kept remarkably quiet - the one TM referred to as a Marxist. The Unions were remarkably quiet too, didn't you think? Don't you remember the strikes in the 70s?
Helly....yes, I remember the strikes of 40 years ago, although what has that got to do with 2017 ?

Because that's where Corbyn would take The UK back to if he were ever PM
If the question is about "why vote Labour", I've written plenty on AB before but I'll try and sketch an answer out as briefly as possible.

First, the against:

//corbyn would bankrupt the uk//

Not super convinced. Most of his policies were govt policy in this country until very recently or are implemented perfectly effectively elsewhere.

//he's pro hamas and ira//

I really don't care anymore.

//open the floodgates for migrants//

Specious at best.

//wants to ban the bomb.//

Again, I don't care. I don't think our nuclear policy makes any sense - in the case of a nuclear war it renders us a target but we don't have sufficient quantity of missiles to sufficiently deter any of the other major nuclear powers. So it's the worst of both worlds and benefits the USA far more than it benefits us.

Why would I vote Labour then? In a nutshell:

- The present government has an abusive and inhumane set of policies towards disabled people which I would like to stop as it directly affects people I know and it wasn't like this in 2010.
- I agree with some (and only some) of their policies.
- I don't like the government's authoritarian attitude to the internet, or their promise to scrap human rights.
- I prefer Keir Starmer to David Davis, and think Corbyn is less easily provoked than May. If we have to do Brexit, I'd prefer it was them.

That's it, as briefly as I can put it. Sorry if it sounds "deluded" but I have really stopped caring.
Mikey, //I have tried to be as objective as I can over the last 20 odd hours.//

That'll be not objective at all then.

I fear it is not long now until Corbyn proves this.

with labour it's always someone else, blair opened the flood gates
brown with the gold reserves, now corbyn the marxist, spend till it's bust, like venezuela, anybody listening it does not work, besides the economics, labour are hard core islamic sympathisers, let alone the ira
students of today have no idea, all they see is a blank check for free education and hey we can still party hardy, and they also believe in open borders..really nhs schools social services etc, let alone unemployment, but hey man,,it's all cool, because the man, has got it in for you, ...so simplistic
You didn't read a single thing I said did you....
Kromo, I'm on your side, but even I'd be put off by your "I don't care" remarks next to your arguments.

I have done my OWN research. Idiot.
Fair enough Clover, perhaps it was the political (as well as physical) fatigue talking. I just think the arguments about the IRA/Hamas have been raked over so often that I find it difficult to feel anything at all about them. I don't particularly like Corbyn's record on the IRA but I cannot seriously see him damaging the peace there if he got in so it just looks irrelevant. Likewise with Hamas, I find it very hard to feel invested in the Israel/Palestine dispute or to imagine a theoretical Prime Minister Corbyn having any influence over it, and so an edgelord opinion about Hamas just doesn't bother me that much.
// Fender, no one has yet asked whether the Manchester and London outrages had a huge bearing.//

which, amidst all the crying and wailing - real or imagined
has an answer
(no) ..... BUT it is possible on outcome data to check that

if the pattern of voting is the same as 2015 then there is no detectable effect

Lucy Powell got a majority of 24 000 ( t.o. 66%)
XingJian Con got 7000 votes

the only record is Man Cen has the all time record for lowest turnout ( 12%) in 2012

[ that comment for slow readers was whether there was an effect of the Manchester Bomb on Manchester voting and the answer was, no)

in actual fact as you walk around the streets and see people draped in whatever ( burkas, hijabs) and kids attached- we dont ask - o mi gard is her bomb big in that - but more - she is disgusted as we are at what her co-religionist has done
Haha PP "does my bomb look big in this" funny. Shame it was hidden away in another flight of fancy.

Due to this result, obviously not in the Tory's case.
Well at least the foxes will feel a little safer today, then they did a few weeks ago.

With her diminished crop of MPs, I wouldn't have thought she would risk a defeat on the repeal of the hunting with dogs bill.
So anyone who voted labour are deluded ,are they

What a arrogant patronising ...... bunch some of you are
I wouldn't dream of telling anyone how they voted made them -'a fool/deluded/an idiot etc'.

To do so a day or so after the event is little more than hot air anyway.
