UK General Election

If Corbyn actually sneaks a victory away I am going to attack, DEUS VULT.

Well, comrades, it has been swell, but I guess we’ll be joining the glorious revolution soon. I have attached a video of our glorious future Chancellor of the Exchequer so you can bask in our glory.

From what I’ve seen and read of him Corbyn looks like an mumbling imbecile without a trace of charisma or logic, not to mention his hobnobbing with radical islamists and leftwing policies from four decades ago.

How is this possible? Seriously.

Ah, a counter-revolutionary, I see. You’ll be first in the gulag, you bourgeoisie.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury.”

Soon, the true visionaries of UK politics, students aged 18-23, will be in charge.

What a time to be alive.

I’m 17 and genuinely hate everyone my ages political views. They are all whiny left -leaning liberals who want everything given to them.

• Give me free University its unfair how I have to pay for a service.

• Give my younger sibling free school dinners its unfair how I have to pay for food.

• Give me £10 an hour even though my labour is unskilled and isn’t worth £5.

Its annoying how everyone registering to vote will inevitably vote for Corbyn since they don’t understand basic economics or the implications of his policies.

Oh don’t worry. Their pie in the sky budget is “costed.”

So sick of people making massive plans with tax receipts they do not have, without knowledge of what the economic situation will be like when they get them.

I’d like to say it gets better in your twenties, but I’d be lying.

Corbyn needs to study the Laffer Curve extensively preferably not with Diane Abbot near him.

This was how people spoke of Bernie Sanders (and his supporters) in the US. I can’t speak intelligently to the current situation in the UK, but it would be surprising if this is enough (by itself) to win the election.

[hugh_gilly]

He has been gaining a lot in the Polls but this Manchester thing will slow him down significantly I suspect. He is seen as too weak to lead by lots of people and people want someone hard on terrorists.

Diane Abbott needs to be ejected from this planet

FTFY

We are 7 years into Tory rule and the government has been enacting a deficit reduction program for those years.

I can see public bribery working here and I am sure it would have under anyone else.

I don’t share your support for Trump but you’re light years ahead of where practically all 17 year olds are in terms of real world understanding. Kudos, don’t stop improving.

Oh my yes. Drives me nuts.

On the other hand, I am completely befuddled by the UK political scene because I haven’t had enough exposure to analyze it well. With a multiple party system he just might win. Waiting for the keen observers across the pond to relieve my ignorance.

[Legalsteel]

More or less, it is 2 party system. He can absolutely win, I think what we are watching now is right wing Hillary Clinton campaign.It can go very wrong indeed, especially if you play to not lose.

EDITED because of my fucking atrocious spelling

UKIP leader Paul Nuttall had a interview today saying that there should be something serious done about the 23,000 suspected terrorists in the UK, he mentioned internment camps.

Meanwhile the Green party leader whined about Muslims getting treated poorly after Manchester attack, God help those who vote for that imbecile.

He’ll likely get 2 seats, the watermelons tend to get at least one (god knows how). Nutall may very well receive zero with more national votes.

The Tories are bunglers, Labour are ideological throwbacks, and the LibDems are insufferable.

This has been the worst election run up I’ve seen from all sides honestly. Everyone is just confused and making up bullshit and fumbling through it seems.

Totally. Corncob just made a decent performance, and Aunt Doris looked dreadful for half of it. ALL OF IT DUE TO SELF-INFLICTED BACK TRACKING.

Of all the times to throw the election, it had to be the most important one the UK has had in decades.

Christ above, they need prayers and I need a stiff drink.

[Legalsteel]

The shadow home secretary. Lord above, this is car crash television.
