Who to vote for?


Bob Buzzard

Recommended Posts

It is a crazy state of affairs right now!

I guess we need to consider what we want in the immediate future before thinking about what could happen later....

Forget what happened in the past, whatever remarks were made, said or done, that will not help our future!


We need to consider our options wisely........

It does not matter who you vote for in ED- it's a done deal....just read some of the other political threads- you'll get the idea and it is RED

Johnson's seat in Uxbridge, but due to copyright issues the original LB is now called Count Binface, and the new LB is standing for the Monster Raving Loony Party/ Politics is a nasty business, even in the outer galaxies...

It depends what constituency you are in. Unless you support a particular party, suggest tactical voting is the way to de-seat MP's on the gravy train so you get an MP who represents your views and votes the way the constituents want, rather than the MP voting how they want, which is why Parliament became stagnant and got UK plc in the mess it is now.

Yes - but they are pro-leave last time I checked on twitter.


But being as I've got a 24 hr ban for reminding Boris not to choke on the teabag he doesn't remove from his cup everything may have changed.

Why would you want to unseat two brilliant MPs - Helen Hayes and Harriet Harman? Not sure what 'gravy train" you think they're on. Also not sure your interpretation of what an MP does is correct.

I am a remainer, but the madness of the Labour Party and the lack of alternatives is making me vote Conservative this time around. I feel more comfortable doing Brexit with them than remaining under Corbyn and his truly irrational ideas. As an economist, I struggle with Labour?s policies even when they are more moderate, but what they are talking about now is plain dangerous. Corbyn is exploiting voters who don?t understand what he?s trying to do... promising ridiculousness like same money for less work and freebies left, right, and centre and shouting empty slogans about ?selling off our NHS? which no ones is doing. Incredible.

Re philanderer - that?s the least of my worries.

Re lying - Corbyn is much more of a calculated, unscrupulous liar, hiding behind an easy-to-sell cover of fairness and equality. The world is much more complex than that - although I?d also love some free stuff if you ask me. I can assure you that you won?t get rich and happy under Corbyn, just like it didn?t happen under any previous Labour government.

I?m devastated about Brexit, so it?s not an easy decision for me either.

Even his own Party want rid, hence Watson leaving before being ejected by the Stalinist/Lenin momentum.

The only way to get the necessary result is for tactical voting this time as their will be no clear majority.


What did Labour do as they were booted out of office (2007 - 2010), oh yes, leave a note in the Treasury saying, by the way the country is broke.


It's time for the people to take back control from the gravy train politicians who are supposed to represent US, rather than doing what they want. We put them into power, we have the capability of taking that away from them, particularly all those who have switched Parties without facing a by-election. Now is the time to face the electorate and take what's coming, a huge backlash.


The only way to get the necessary result is for tactical voting this time, as their will be no clear majority, so get the best of a bad bunch.

Oh dear- short memory re Iraq war, and the things I remember about BLIAR (yes that has been his nickname for years) is that he did 11 U turns within 2 weeks of getting in, and drove a stupid Ford Galaxy thus setting a BAD trend for the environment, sent his kids to a catholic school and then converted to catholicism himself- (pandering to the EU even then).

And he had John Prescott (freedom for travellers to cause havoc and cost to taxpayers everywhere), to do his philandering for him, and Tessa Jowell to take away gambling restrictions to raise the revenue for his ludicrous vote-chasing schemes. you could not make it up even in a banana (is that racist?- sorry if it is- it's a generational thing) republic. Let's not forget anti-semitism either

A Remainer voting for Johnson and his ilk sounds very strange given what you'll be unleashing on the most vulnerable surely.

You can't be a remainer and vote Tory. Actually, you cannot be a decent human being and vote Tory. Labour are in a parlous state and a vote for them is a vote for antisemitism. All depends on the ward where you live. We are in Camberwell/Peckham, one of the safest Labour seats in the country. So I will be voting Green to give them a boost.


The LibDems are pointless and not trustworthy btw.

    • Looking for tickets for 2 adults one child under 2 and one child over 2. However, please let me know if you have any combination of tickets you are no longer able to use.  Thanks 07756110500
    • all I said was "take a pro cash stance too far" - what twisting have I done?   plenty of good arguments for retention of cash - but let's not get too detached from reality either lest we go back to trading livestock   But to go back to your post DD:   "Or don't stop using cash" Yep plenty of people will agree with this - nothing controversial here   "Stop using your phone or even your watch as a banknote" - getting a bit weird now - why not - it's super convenient for both users and businesses. And far easier to keep a track of your balance using your electronic wallet than old systems of cheques taking days to clear, how much did I take from cashpoint 2 days ago etc. But people will differ so whatever works   "God only knows how much damage we're doing to the planet because all the above must require a hell of a lot of resources and juice from the grid" - big straw man argument here. Why bring this in? Unless you are also suggesting we don't buy any goods not made from within a 5 mile radius and nothing transported by air or sea? "a big lump of plastic with a screen and full of personal information that can be easily gleamed." I've had my phone stolen but nothing was lost because it was secure.I've been mugged and lost cash and valuable. It's not a binary thing   "your sky rocket with a phone in your hand. It's become a source of dopamine for many. It's an addiction for many."  Proper overreaching now
    • I agree with the posts that housing is an urgent need in Peckham and throughout Southwark. But as Alice says, it’s the percentage of social / affordable housing that matters. In October last year, there were over 4,200 households on the Council’s waiting list for housing in Peckham alone (over 17 thousand across Southwark). But the developer is only offering 35% affordable housing (which means that 65% will be unaffordable). Both Southwark Council and the GLA say that a big development like this should provide 50% affordable housing.   Re-development of the site is a great opportunity to make the town centre “cleaner, safer and more sustainable and welcoming” (borrowing Nigello’s great words). Is this dense development going to do that, when it provides no real green and open space where people can spend time outside and nature can help us tackle the growing problems of climate change like absorbing flood water, cooling the air on baking summer days? Are 7-storey buildings along Rye Lane (where the average buildings are 2-3 storeys) going to be welcoming to users of the town centre? How will the development impact on Peckham’s economy? Currently there is busy daytime commercial activity of shops providing for different demographics and needs including a rich offering of international groceries and other products, alongside a thriving night-time economy. I can’t see anything in the proposal that suggests how it will enhance and empower the local economy. Yes please, let’s have a great development on this site that enhances the town centre. This means not letting the developer get away with packing people into dense blocks that turn their back on the town centre and which will be a recipe for urban decay in the long run. Peckham deserves better than this!
    • You know when you are wrong but think you're right because the internet etc? Read it and twist it how you want if it makes you feel better. I use a card as well as cash. You are pro jumping the gun and pro cynical. Yeah,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Pro cash 🙃Who isn't? Is being pro card some kind of middle class virtue signaling thing? Like jumping to conclusions seems to be. Oooh the uncouth commoner uses that dirty cash stuff. Orf with his head.
