How would you vote in a general election tomorrow?

Does anyone think that the chief rabbi laying into Corbyn will put anyone off voting Labour?

Middle ground needed.

Something between austerity and Corbyn would be nice.

Back in 2010 the whole Tory thing was austerity, but now seems to be a bit of a U turn.

I see Jezza was caught out by Andrew Neil in an interview, where it was pointed out that under Labour, the poorest would be taxed an extra £400 a year.

I really don't get this myth about Labour being the party of the poor, when the Tories have made massive reductions to tax for the poorest when compared to Labour. For one, the tax free allowance was at least doubled from £5K to £12K. At the same time, they introduced dividend tax, which is a lot extra for people like me, adding 7.5% on top of my tax rate, but hits higher earners with an additional 38% on top of their higher rate income tax.

It seems to be quite the opposite of what people still believe about who looks after the poor. The only difference is that Labour want to rob from everyone who works to give to the bone idle, where the Tories take from the richer workers to give to the poorer workers.

I don't think you can say there is a working class anymore. Not a working class like when I was a kid. People who had to micro manage their money day to day just to get by. No meat on a Wednesday type existence. Dad handing the weekly pay packet to Mum so she could budget for the household.

Now even the poorest still have their i phones ans sky TV. Every house in our cul-de-sac has a sky dish and half of them are still council houses with people on benefits.

What is there now? poor, reasonably well off or stinking rich? I'm not even sure there is that much of a poor group anymore especially compared with people a generation or two ago.

What point am I making? Maybe that people don't vote because of their upbringing anymore but because of their aspirations.

It's a choice of the usual three round my way, Con/Lab/Lib plus The Greens. Disappointing absence of TBP and not even any Independent candidates.

Unless Corbyn is stoned or resisting narcolepsy I reckon he has taken a leaf from Maggie Thatcher's book in interviews. She had obviously been coached to soften her naturally strident vocal tones and Corbyn seems to be up to something similar. It's not convincing.

Another Pakistani Labour canvasser has been caught boasting about collecting unsealed ballot papers all for Labour in Plymouth.

The silly twat photographed them all and posted it on Twitter. They were unsealed, so probably given to him to fill in as his community leader wishes. The Electoral Commission have been informed, but as it’s just another Muslim organising fraudulent votes for Labour again, feck all will get done.
