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.

    • Nauris and his team have done fantastic work in our garden for the second year. Last year, they sanded, oiled the deck and did an immaculate job of paving the area around the deck. Then two weeks ago, I asked Nauris if he could build a garden shed, sand and oil the deck and paint and repair the fences. Again, another excellent job and he was great at fitting in a couple of small fixes. We are really pleased with the shed which is well made and painted and blends in well to the garden. Nauris is really respectful and always left everything tidy in the evening and spotlessly clean at the end of the job. Nauris also provided a clear quote for the work at the beginning.  I recommend Nauris Graudins (and his team) very highly - [email protected]  
    • So who actually checks that the above is followed - are there going to be "surprise" inspections ?
    • We have used Aria and AFE Plumbing for many years on a number of jobs - installing new taps and showerhead, unblocking pipes.  He is always quick to respond and able to swiftly attend to the issue, easy to communicate with, and makes sure the job gets done. Definitely recommended. 
    • Well you've said i'm taking a pro cash stance too far. Perhaps not twisting- i used the wrong words but you are putting words in my mouth no? I'm not one for tech, that's for sure but how do you come to the conclusion i'm pro cash? I merely pointed out that cashless and using cards / card readers/ oyster readers/ and other terminals etc aren't risk free. If i was pro cash i wouldn't be using a card on occasions. Indeed. You can say that again. Irony and self awareness not your strong point is it? Indeed. Just as well you're not the judgemental type hey!!   What a strange and arrogant entity you are.
