Is there any website anywhere that tells us how the polls look in our constituency? I have been googling but cant see anything that gives me an indication of who has the best chance of beating the conservatives in my area. I'm worried the Lib dems and labour will take votes off each other and the tories with win here.

 

Not exactly what you're looking for, but gives results in 2015 and debate at constituency level:

I think Newhaven is in Lewes constituency, isn't it? http://ukpollingreport.co.uk/2015guide/lewes/

If it's in Brighton Kemptown: http://ukpollingreport.co.uk/2015guide/brightonkemptown/

How many polling companies does this country need? Almost as many as art historians.  Every company asks the same question but gets such a varied response, the press make a major story out of it then you read it's from a pool of 2k people.

 

I have noticed Labour supporters on social media going overboard and becoming pretty nasty.  They flood the conservative fb page 2 minutes after they post and then try to shut down any conservatives trying to have dialog.  They are spamming the mail and express comments section to create the impression of a sway in public perception. 

 

I said to my girlfriend weeks ago that I thought Labour were using bots and sock puppet accounts, I'd been watching Homeland.  I read the story in the express and checked out the account they were quoting. It had been liking and retweeting hundreds of posts an hour for 22 hours straight the 2 hours break then again for hours doing the same. 

 

The next bit is slightly controversial but I come from a single parent family from Thurnby Lodge who had nothing but have managed to do ok in life with little support, social mobility etc so I'm not from a traditional Conservative upbringing.  I wish Labour would stop banging on about the people at the top paying more when they pay most of our countries tax bill.  The people at the lower end need to start adding value to the country rather than just taking all the time.  Recruitment agencies should be based inside the job centre, can't find work well join the queue over there and   Unemployed for longer than a month, compulsory re education and voluntary work cleaning our nations estates, helping the elderly or something else meaningful.  Make benefits pay and the people taking them start giving something back.  £2500, 25% of my tax bill last year went on welfare, welfare it is not.  I'm not sure where I stand on food banks, if you offer free food to people they are going to take it, it's an industry now so they have to have lots of users.  If you have to use them and you are in employment then you need to look at your own lifestyle choices first. 

 

NHS, stop propping it up with money and look at the waste from within. The compensation they payout every year for negligence is in the hundreds of millions. Nurses and staff do need to be paid more, apart from managers, that needs to be reduced. A midwife from Devon berated May on one of the debates, maybe if midwives in Devon didn't have 8million a year in settlement claims against them for errors they might have more money.

 

I don't agree with the free university fees, if they did do it they should charge them for every class they miss, every paper handed in late and a penalty for not hitting a % target in every exam. 

 

I'm sure no one will agree with me but that's the luxury we have in this country.

 

After the hacking attempts by the 'russians' in the US election this doesn't surprise me one bit.

I understand we shouldn't stop campaigning - but it does seem like May is setting out policy from the steps of number 10.

 

 

If she wants to use the event to talk about combating extremism, regulating social media etc, then convene a emergency debate. Don't shout policies from 10 Downing Street.

 

She'd do well to convene a debate and use that to U-turn on her police budgets cuts. It would at least show she is responsive.

 

Quote

Central government funding is being cut in real terms over the course of this parliament, but police funding overall will stay the same if local taxation for the police is maximised.

I'm obviously not her biggest fan, but since when do PM hopefuls use number 10 for policies announcements? Use it talk about the event, but not how once elected you'll deal with it.

May has missed a trick.  I wish she had said if you are on our list you will be getting a knock at the door, if you are on a list you will be on a tag until we are happy you pose no threat to this great country.  Hurt feelings and a mild inconvenience matter little when people are being killed on our streets.

The police already are investigating. She's not the head of the police. She'd come across as a dictator if
she uses the steps of number 10 to announce police direction tbh.

I find this attitude depressing. Who are you voting for anyway?

That might as well be their slogan.

Are you even a City fan or a bot/Lib dem activist who has just signed up recently to comment on political threads only?

A bit of both. I'd rather follow politics than talk about Mahrez leaving or what Spurs fans think of us. Wouldn't really class myself as an activist, I'm a Lib Dem member but haven't done any organised campaigning, our nearest target is St Albans.

Would love to know what Amber Rudd said to get him shut down. 

There does seem to be something very, very murky in our dealings with SA.

To add: Corbyn has today questioned why the government hasn't published a report commissioned by Cameron on the funding of jihadi groups which supposedly focused on Saudi Arabia.

Maybe you do, but most who vote Labour want more money spent on them by the state. Where it comes from and if its affordable is of little concern.

 

Labour voters pretty much fall into these two categories:

 

1) Tribal. 

2) Want more for them, individually, from the state

 

Now don't get me wrong, this applies to all factions of the political spectrum to some degree, but both above afflict the much greater % of Labour voters.  That's why this particular Labour party will satisfy so much.  The state would be influential in all facets of their lives and then their hooked on the teat of Socialism.  From birth, early childcare, to school, to further education, to many more public sector jobs....and so on

 

Hence why JFK's speech nails it.

 

 

This is absolute bollocks.

Watching the Question Time programme. Thought the Green party bloke spoke well. Is that the UKIP bloke agreeing with him?

 

 

Why is the audience made up of 75% lefty lesbians?

 

Not even hot lesbians, they're the boy looking ones.
