GENERAL ELECTION 2019

[Alistair20000]

Both parties are making daft pledges that will tie the hands of whoever the Chancellor is post 13th December.

Sadly this is an election where we are looking at the least bad option across the board in terms of individuals and policy promises.

Feckin’ dire.

If polling continues to look gruesome for Magic Grandpa and Labour expect next the promise of “free” football season tickets, restaurant vouchers, electric cars and foreign holidays. Paid for by just the top 5% of income earners natch.

Anything else they have missed ?

I assume the Manifesto writer has been disciplined for leaving out the Waspi promise. Terrible oversight.

At least they have a plan, even if it's an unrealistic one. Whereas Johnson is raising spending and cutting taxes, presumably paid for with the millions in small change down the back of his sofa.

What is the point in an unrealistic plan ?

Still the same question: who has the least unrealistic plan ?

Have to let the experts decipher that one

You do not need the so called experts on this one and they don’t always get it right anyway.

Since we don't know what's in their manifesto til later, We'll have to see but you will need people like the IFS to do the sums

I will look at the analysis but will make my own judgment.

Very tempted to endorse the ballot paper “none of you feckers” this time.

If there was that option on the ballot paper, "None of the feckers" would win hands down

Johnson pledging today not to raise taxes according to reports but despite this he has made a lot of pledges regarding public services etc, They keep asking where Labour will get its money from, Where are the Tories getting their money from? A forest of magic money trees perhaps or are our kids and grand children going to be in hock for it and will pay the price?

Whatever he says, you can't trust him. Proven to be untrustworthy.
Of course he'll promise anything to curry favour.
Not even his father and brother trust him, nor one of his best friends, Nicholas Soames . No principles, no morals, and full.of horse sh-t.

Poor old Will Hutton writing in the Observer today that a Labour defeat is almost certain. Maybe after getting everything wrong for years he will be right this time.
