UK General Election 2017 Megathread

[FlyingJesus]

Although I personally don't want Corbachev in power I have to say it's remarkable just how hard May seems to be trying to lose this election. Alienating people with talk about fox hunting (which had no possible bonus for her) was one thing but refusing to show up for events is quite another. Sure, if she had been there it'd be hell for her because it's always easiest to criticise those already in charge, but still it doesn't do anything for her image hiding away

[MKR&*42]

Some guy on Victoria Derbyshire the other day said 'May's losing on purpose as part of a conspiracy, so that Labour will win and they'll have to negotiate Brexit and after they negotiate a terrible deal, we'll all end up voting conservative again for generations!' - maybe that's why

I too am astounded with how she's ran this entire thing.

Lmao also if any of you watched the reaction to the debate afterwards (on BBC News) you'd have seen a ... not-so-sober Emily Thornberry. It turns out that Damian Green was actually meant to be debating her but then ended up refusing to do so, and so she walked onto the live interview the BBC were doing with him to have the debate and I genuinely applaud her for the guts she had to do that, but God what a dick move.

3% woweeee

the host of the debate was really bad imo she would get 1 q from audience and somehow turn it into 5 unrealted different questions

SurveyMonkey for The Sun tonight also showing a narrowing of the gap. :shifty:

That's been a theory ever since the election was called Labour stans claiming that it's her way of running off into the sunset, as though simply standing down isn't an option. Am starting up my own party I've already got a couple of things for the manifesto that I reckon will win me an election

Oh really? Strange how I never came across it beforehand haha

Yeah well not in papers really but on fb from people who think that somehow having all their friends thinking the same way as them means that they're right about everything lol

My local Labour candidate just knocked on our door and I had a very nice chat with him! Very down to earth and actually cared about local issues unlike our current Tory MP

He's right. ITV reporter heard saying: "She just doesn't answer questions" at Theresa May press conference https://t.co/AOVIEXxj5h #GE2017
