That's a pretty accurate topic from the New York Times.

Britain is broken, and there is no party capable of repairing the damage.Three clowns leading three separate parties. 

Desperate times and I fear there is no answer.

Very emotive subject, mining. Does anyone suggest that the mines are reopened? Is that the obvious answer, the solution to all problems?

What about the dairy industry that has been systematically destroyed directly by membership of the EU?

Or fishing perhaps.

How many other jobs were lost to our population by the EU’s decision to relocate and subsidy  industry and manufacturing to other EU member states?

Go to Bassett area of Southampton and ask the now unemployed skilled workers who built Ford Transit vans for decades what they think of mines reopening.

The thing about this election, more than any other I can remember, is that it's not just about parties pushing the positives about their respective policies, as much as it is about shouting about the negatives of opposing politicians. This to me, shows a lack of confidence in their own ideas for the future of this country. I have asked Paul, (Big Cod), on here, as well as numerous others in 'real life', to convince me that Corbyn and co are worth my vote, by showing me their positives, not just the perceived of negatives of the Tory party. Not one as been able to provide an answer, that has been able to convince me, even slightly, that I should vote Labour, or any other party. I haven't had any Labour canvassers at my door yet, but if I do, I have a number of questions that I will want answering, and I will not accept, "you should vote for us, because the others are so bad", type of answers. The media, as usual, are stoking these flames to a great extent, and then there are so called, leaked documents, with possibly with Russian origins conveniently appearing.

I still haven't decided if I will actually vote, or just spoil my paper again, but the childish actions of the majority of this countries politicians haven't yet convinced me that any of them deserve my, or anyone else's vote.

It’s funny John you  ask me why you should vote labour instead of just mentioning all  the damage the Tory’s have done in the last 9 years what’s even more interesting is the Tory’s slogan is exactly what you are complaining about don’t vote for Corbyn even after 9 years of austerity And running local services to their Knees cutting police prison staff you name it Record waiting times in the NHS  demoralised staff no just Corbyn Corbyn Corbyn crazy world John more of the same you want then vote conservative you know it makes  sense .

The best is the Tory’s if they win the election are going repair the last 9 years of the last Tory government ?  you couldn’t make it up and they swallow it and there is  millions and millions of them everywhere.

Boris the lying  king Johnson’s nose just keeps getting longer and longer trick or treat trick !!! can you trust this man not a chance

Unfortunately theres no brexit party to vote for here so i wont bother

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

 

Mathew 4:19

Grangers law : anything i say will  turn out the opposite or not happen at all!

Gozzer,

Not voting is voting 

Phone

But only in a very passive way Phone. To actually go to the polling booth and write "None of the above deserve my vote",  gives a much more personal satisfactory feeling. Although in reality unless millions follow suit, it will pass almost unnoticed.
