Of course we all change our mind some times but we are talking about a government that are supposed to be leading the country here. Promising something to the public before changing your mind isn't acceptable. Its weak, its wishy-washy and it means we can't trust anything they promise.

If you could somehow look into the future and clearly see all of Labours promises had come about and the country had become more stabale and buoyant, would you vote Labour in the next election?

Of course I've changed my mind. Not as frequently as the Tories though, not on topics even half as important, and rarely after publicly sharing my opinion on them. Thats just recklessness.

I could understand U-Turns if they were on smaller positions, but almost everything that's major in our current political climate has something she's either wavered on, or completely changed stance on. Corbyn, whilst surrounded by idiots, appears the more principled person. Imagine electing a Prime Minister that isn't a shouty arsehole. Just imagine!

She's so bloody sketchy. Conservative or not how on can you trust someone who completely goes back on her word in a matter of weeks. I couldn't think of anyone worse to represent us in the brexit negotiations.

Me too. I'd stopped being a Labour supporter some months back. Corbyn wasn't pushing forward enough with progressive politics. I know the only way we can get out of this stagnation period is to be politically daring and although McDonald is one hell of an economist, I didn't believe Corbyn was gutsy enough.
I understand enough about tax to understand the Tories are playing a game with financialisation (larger privatization for a more costly and poorer service to its end users) and that a government surplus in eight years time is a promise that can't be fulfilled... its illiterate nonsense. I also understand enough about the central bank and how government borrowing works, to know that when you scrutinize the Labour manifesto it makes neoliberal economics look like scorched earth. Labours plans could seriously grow our economy. That said, I believe the baby-boomers will keep May in power but the silver lining to that is, Labours fiscal planning is so excellent and so popular, the Tories are bound to adopt some of its policies. Labours strength in this campaign may be the death knell of neoliberalism as we know it. If we can't have Labour, then at least lets get back some keynesian style economics.

You turns are a sign they are getting it wrong, measure twice cut once.
Conservatives are self harming. Labour has a leader that supports terrorist's, and would fall in a barrel of titts and come out sucking his thumb. |

The Tories are having an absolutely disastrous campaign. If I didn't think it were too sceptical, I'd be inclined to believe they're trying to lose to avoid the calamity of Brexit so that they can lay the blame at Labour's feet for another generation.
It's meaningless though and Labour's poll increases are futile, they're still going to win. People will lap up the empty messages recited over and over, and the turkeys will vote for Christmas once again. This is of course without even considering the fact that Lynton Crosby will soon be on the phone to Dacre and Murdoch demanding they start pumping out the IRA and communist crap in a bid to bury him. Be under no illusion, this will be the biggest all-out assault of a Labour leader by the establishment in recent history. We've seen nothing yet. Some of their proposals are not just awful, they actually frighten me. The cracking down on the internet. ID cards to vote. The dementia tax. Grammar schools. A fox hunting vote. Quietly dropping the ivory trade ban. Not to mention the continued undermining of the NHS. All of these, and I still haven't finished the manifesto - so God knows what else I'm going to find. This demented, authoritarian, power crazy bitch is about to sleepwalk the UK into a dystopian nightmare, in effect a one-party state, and I feel physically repulsed. This country and its people are awful. I cannot believe I actually miss the pig ****er. I realise people will deride my hyperbole, but I'm serious. In 2015, I was worried at the thought of the Tories winning the election. Now I'm ****ing terrified. |

This woman is authority and power mad. I'm pleased you mentioned the Ivory trade too, another disgrace. I've always thought you can judge the heart of people from the way they'd have animals treated. This woman punishes any weakness and is in my opinion so hardline and heartless that even human beings,seen as weak to her,will have not the slightest bit of any respect shown to them. |

It's a complete media myth. She's wobbled and U-Turned way too many times so take seriously when she says that.
