The clue is the word redundant. If he'd walked the word would be resigned.

I never said you did say vote Tory. I said you've convinced me to switch my vote to Labour. It just so happened that I did plan on voting Tory, which is my usual inclination although not a given.

It's happened. I think Grendull and Astute have convinced be to switch my vote from Tory to Labour. When those that shout the loudest can only come up with a misunderstood smear campaign as an argument to why you shouldn't vote for said party instead of arguing the manifestos you have to...

I have some family there and been many times and I'm yet to hear anyone call it Londonderry. Protestant or catholic. The only place it's called Londonderry as far as I can tell is on maps.

Pretty sure he was pro peace process not anti. That was the whole point of him and Corbyn opening dialogue with Sinn Fein and the IRA when those in power wouldn't right up until John Major. His comments about IRA members being brave etc. were way out but to say he was anti peace process sounds...

The poster says "IF". That means it's not a prediction of a labour win. Put your nickers back ;)

What a drama queen you are.

Again. I never said it was sufficient. I would love to see us spend a similar percentage of GDP or amount per capita to Denmark but the point I was making is that due to cultural differences regarding a willingness to pay higher taxes it's unlikely. The spending on the NHS has increased but the...

Another well thought out reply from you. For the period of 2014 - 2021 the budget will rise by £8.4B. The government actually tried to claim that the amount was £10B but almost £2B was announced in the previous parliament so the £10B figure is widely dismissed by media, political commentators...

Given that you want to dismiss the rights of voters at the other end of the scale does that make you the ideological right?

True. But as I said earlier in this thread I wouldn't be surprised if the SNP took a hit. I suspect it will be the Scottish Tories and Lib Dems who will get the most benefit from that if it happens but you never know. Labour could have a major come back in Scotland.

Starting to suspect your neck won't be out that far.

What a moronic thing to say.

It will be close I think. Certainly closer than people would have believed when the election was called. One interesting aspect could be what happens with the labour party if they don't get in. If Corbyn performs better than Miliband last time round they may have trouble trying to force a...

Which is great. But it doesn't mean all the issues I've listed haven't happened and don't continue to happen because they did happen and continue to happen. I spent 8 hours stood next to my elderly grandmother while she was lying on a trolley in a corridor a couple of years ago in walsgrave...

Really? Growing waiting lists? People dying on trolleys in corridors? Nurses relying on food banks? Sounds like a NHS in decline if you ask me while investment rises, not much granted but spending has increased. It's also not that much more. Here's some figures available online. Current health...

You see things like this I can get on board with when it comes to Corbyn. I don't dismiss everything he says and personally I welcome him as an opposition leader if for no other reason than he really is in opposition so it holds the Tories to account which is how it's supposed to work unlike the...

I really don't. I think you do though. The Danes may well be spending more of their GDP on health than us although to be honest I don't really know either way but the value for money is not a % of GDP it's the quality of care. In the form of shorter waiting lists, most hospitals operate private...

I can't disagree or agree with you on that one because I openly admit I have no idea what the state of the country will be at the end of the next term. I can only go with my gut feeling and my gut feeling is that regardless of what state the country will be in at the end of the next term, good...

Just like saying this works in Denmark so it will work here isn't as simple as that with taxes either. If you know Scandinavians you'll know that to the majority of them value for money is important. They don't mind paying more as long as its value for money. The same is true of taxes in my...
