    As I said in a further post they need talking with a massive pinch of salt. I just said they weren't totally without value. Quite a few of those polls were clearly overly influenced by certain political factions. Personally I had Corbyn just scraping a points decision so on that personal basis...

    Weren't you of the generation before tuition fees? As well as grants and the ability to sign on as a student? I may have just made an assumption as to your age but I only just missed out on the free higher education stuff. I of course accept that there were fewer courses available at the time...

    In the debate Julie said to Alexander "have you found the magic money tree?" then turned to Corbyn and said "and have you found two?" I think Corbyn could have turned to her and said it's the Tories that need two money trees not us - one to pay for their spending plans and another to cover the...

    I didn't debate as to whether it would be successful, I said that that was the party position and that it has been stated a number of times. That was the point of the answer. Astute asked why aren't we being told what Labour will be doing. We are - it's just a different position from the...

    That doesn't mean they have no legitimacy. Of course everything has to be taken with a large pinch of salt - you have to consider that there will be activists from all sides being told to get on these polls and vote for them (or even bots). But the same is true of the YouGov poll - those...

    He said it at least three times in the debate for a start. Plus I've seen him say it in news interviews.

    'Boris' has charisma. Corbyn on the whole doesn't. That is why he is ahead. We live in an age of celebrity and look at the vacuous numpties that fill up airtime and have millions of social media followers. Why do they have so many yet people with good ideas and intelligence have none? Why should...

    C'mon. Your rebuttal is that you quoted one of the polls mentioned, incidentally the one with few respondents and the only one that had 'Boris' winning?

    Is it that your daughter is very left wing, or just very left wing in your eyes? I have friends on the left that see me as slightly to the right because I make the concession that economic considerations have to be taken into account alongside the ideology of what I think would be the best...

    Certainly will be the question when she does pass away. However, a republic isn't something I necessarily advocate. A President has way more actual control than a modern Monarchy with the added legitimacy of election to push for more powers. How many presidents do we see taking gradual control...

    But you do. IF you vote Labour then you're voting for renegotiating a deal and a second referendum which they'll campaign against that deal (however odd that may seem) in favour of remain. This had been repeated many many times. If that seems like a bit of a fudge (which it arguably is because...

    But their vote would count the same as anyone else's. Plus the fact that by just doing this it shows their low opinion of the British public that they'd expect enough people to be taken in by it.

    He would, but he and his advisors also know that if he says Remain he stands to lose candidates in urban Labour seats votes, which could be crucial. If he stands for Leave he stands to alienate others. Staying quiet he annoys some people from both sides by sitting on the fence. Whatever he does...

    Presenter was cutting Alexander off more, but he was continuing for longer (although Corbyn did it himself a few times) and it was pointless letting him continue because he just started going back to the one point of Brexit. Crowd had elements supporting both but seemed more trying to heckle...

    So much prosperity food bank use is at an all time high and most young people have to live at home with their parents. Oh I forgot the 80's was such a fantastic time to be alive. What with the poll tax riots, general political unrest and protests, recession, huge unemployment and people on...
