General Election UK, June 8th...

[Brian Peacock]

Would those on £10k pa get a 200% vote? Would the unemployed get a 0% vote?

I think a democratic system weighted in favour of the poor is about as sensible and workable as one weighted in favour of the rich - that is, it renders politics and governance an exercise in servicing the interests of nominal groups on the basis of income. The way to counteract the undue political influence and interference of of the wealthy - or any other special interest group - is state funding for political parties and stricter regulations around donations and campaign spending.

Last year the Observer reported that at a 2015 fund-raising event for the Conservative party a Russian oligarch bid £160,000 for his wife to have a game of tennis with Boris Johnson and David Cameron. In March this year the party was ordered to pay the maximum possible fine (£70,000) for spending irregularities during the 2015 general election campaign. By my reckoning the imbalance in the system is highlighted in the conjunction of those two pieces of information.

Blah, blah fucking blah. Seriously fuck off, maybe the working class are not a gullible moronic as you are, did that even cross your tiny mind? Yay equality through (communism/socialism and it's nefarious incarnate cultural Marxism.) How about every single time you have tried your political philosophy it has failed with over one hundred million body count. I mean how sick and evil are you motherfuckers not to take into account this level of evil which is not even scratching the surface of your inforced indoctrination of lefty/liberal views(Lol how is it not like religion and it wouldn't survive without it.)

I like not having to stand in bread queues so sue me. I like fre speech, freedom of expression and freedom of conscience along with the right to assembly. You piece of shit lefty/liberals offer nothing but dictatorship

The point is that a single donation by a foreign national to a political party can cover the maximum fine for systematic election illegality twice over, with 20 grand left over for the victory party.

If you're objecting to my political philosophy address this point, and tell me why this sort of political activity is a good thing rather than a bad thing.

Thank fuck for the UK, the only sensible country on the planet. The only people who can see through the globalist, corporate, open borders stupidity for what it is.

Um, dude, you've got a Tory government. There are few governments on the planet that are more neoliberal (i.e. corporatist) than your government.

FFS do you think I'm not aware of this? The only way to redpill conservative politicians is to make them face up to the sperging out of lefty/liberals once they know they are losing control. Once they see that they have popular support the Tories might even grow some balls for once in their lives. Otherwise ten years down the line it is Fascist government and I don't want that and I can be as sure as hell you don't want it.

So the Tories should purge lefty/liberals out of politics to stop fascism eh?

The EU are keeping all talks public which infuriates May as she wanted secret talks so the disembowelling of the UK can be kept from the UK citizens.

Why would she as most of the UK is up for nuking Brussels and Germany, If your degenerate country gets caught in the fall out I doubt anybody would care.

Perhaps you are unwell and don't actually understand the drivel that you write.

Is there a better explanation?

Alcohol. Copious quantities of it..

I don't think we should be too quick to judge somebody for whom English is a second language.

I can't believe that she's going to bring back fox hunting.

I didn't think there was anything that would possibly persuade me to vote Labour at this election, but she just found it.
My vote is now switched.

They must be super-confident, to let that little gem out of the bag, four weeks before an election.

[Scot Dutchy]

The country is really going to the dogs.

Especially with misleading headlines like this:
The Independent

Tom Watson admits Tories are on course for landslide general election victory

What he actually said was if the Tories win a landslide victory it will be like Thatcher with no accountability.

Labour's deputy leader has warned a "Margaret Thatcher-style majority" for Theresa May will give her governance "without much accountability".
Tom Watson said parliament's ability to hold her to account "will go out of the window" if the Conservatives achieve a landslide in the General Election.
He admitted Labour had a "mountain to climb" before voting day, although the party is determined and the final manifesto, a draft of which was leaked on Wednesday, contains "terrifically exciting" ideas.
He told The Guardian: "If we get to 8 June and (Theresa May) still commands the lead in the polls she had at the start of the election, she will command a Margaret Thatcher-style majority.
