UK General Election 2017 Megathread

To be fair it's far easier to find these "broken promises" with a party that's actually been in power recently Corbyn hasn't broken any because he's never had the power to, but the majority of those who do remember living and working under a Labour government are voting Conservative

Corbyn shares event stages with people that are the equivalent to the Manchester bomber. Disgusting.

You were saying your Google search turned up nothing?

But that's not Jeremy Corbyn breaking the promises, it's Gordon Brown or whoever. It is actually Theresa May breaking promises, on the other hand.

That's my point - Corbyn has never had the power to break any promises, so it's easy for him not to

Uh oh. That poll is very worrying, the thought that Diane Abbott is only 5% away from becoming Foreign & Commonwealth Secretary and a virtual communist who supports the IRA and Argentina becoming Prime Minister.

Yes, because a three-way coalition with the SNP who want to dissolve the country will be great for the country. Not.

The only benefit of a Hung Parliament would be that it isn't a Labour majority and that we'd be back at the polls again before 2018.

Let's be honest, there's 0 chance of SNP being in government.

Like I said, you need to read up on Saudi Arabia. The House of Saud is appalling to our standards yes, but what stands ready to take over should the royal family ever fall is a million times worse. Saudi Arabia as a country is a coalition/pact.

So no, PM May standing in an official capacity with the legitimate government of a foreign state with whom we depend on in the Middle East isn't same as Jeremy Corbyn as a far-left backbench MP associating with enemies of Britain.

Let's be honest, there's 0 chance of SNP being in government.

Where are all these MPs going to come from then for your favoured 3-way coalition?

The SNP is the third largest party with 56 seats. A Hung Parliament may mean you have no choice.

Eugh I don't know how to post the twitter things on here properly so here's the link: https://twitter.com/britainelects/st...05634332913664

CON: 45% (-1)
LAB: 35% (+2)
LDEM: 7% (-1)
UKIP: 5% (-)

(via @OpiniumResearch / 23 - 25 May)

So the fact that labour are gaining is pretty much apparent now based on this poll and two other recent ones.

There are 5/6 more polls out tonight which'll give a clearer idea (well that's a greatly over-optimistic view of polling tbqh admdittedly) of roughly how much the conservative lead actually is, considering the three most recent have said 5%, 8%, 10% and 12% christ it's no wonder people are so sceptical of polling.

Still loving the lib dem surge :-)

Oh here's another from today: https://twitter.com/britainelects/st...12679702429697

CON: 46% (-2)
LAB: 34% (+4)
LDEM: 8% (-2)
UKIP: 5% (-)
GRN: 2% (-1)

The last GE, Indyref, and the Brexit vote were both wildly off what polls suggested. Why anyone still believes in them is beyond me - you absolutely cannot determine the opinions of 65 million individuals by asking 0.003% of the people what they reckon

[MKR&*42]

Didn't the Brexit polls have it down to 50/50 towards the vote - I'm sure I recall it being incredibly close? But they did think Remain would win which was evidently quite wrong.

remember how shook everyone was at the 10pm exit poll in the 2015 election looool ppl thought it was gunna be hung parliament not a tory majority
