Not on everything of course, but with specific regard to the ongoing Brexit negotiations. Someone should at least have asked the question; "What happens if it isn't a solid Tory majority?" and had a vague plan in place for transition of that... But the simple fact is, none of them thought for a second that it would be anything but a Tory landslide. Of course, it still might well be, nothing surprises me when it comes to voting outcomes these days, the voting public are for the mostpart fickle, bizarre and unpredictable. But that's the point, really. No one should assume they can "call it" - especially not those in power, for whom doing so has an actual impact.

Corporation tax. Labour have more money to spend than the tories because theyre taxing corporations billions, whereas tories are looking after the wealthy. Basic stuff adam.

More room for those hard work migrants that appreciate the uk and want to set up a business here. Win win. Didnt even think of that. Corbyn truly is the hero.

Do you understand how the central bank works?

The central bank can never run out of money. So as long as we can keep borrowing sterling, the country can never go bust. I'm not saying we should over-borrow money because that would be disastrous but so long as we make enough money for the economy to go round and not just into the hands of the biggest land owners, a Labour government could easily deliver its goals. The Tories have been refusing to make that money because their goals don't lay with the working people of Britain.

Spending money borrowed from the central bank is about getting a long term return. Borrowing at 1% is fine providing you invest that borrowing in projects that are going to yield more than 1% The problem with our present government is, its not investing. The result is... as you can see here http://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Documents/FAQ3GovtInv… Just when the economy needed it most the government is withholding.
Labour invested in 2008 to 2010 and the economy recovered from the 2008 crash. The Coalition withdrew investment and we are in a depression as a result.

May said no to a general election when the people wanted it because her position wasn't secure, she only called for an election when she did because the Tories spotted an opportunity to put paid to Labour and secure their hold on power.

This election was meant to be nothing more than a tactical assassination of the Labour Party and thankfully it's not looking like that'll be the case.

Oh come on. The Tories have made Britain into a tax haven at the expense of middle class and working class Britain.

[DemolitionRed]

Adam, I'm sorry but you clearly don't understand how tax can work in our favour.

Webpage didnt load for me, but like, if its out of the richest man in the country having a spare million, or a handful of uk citizens trying to better thmselves with degrees (it is out of this btw, this is the choice) then the latter.

Its really hard to believe that somebody doesnt want Starbucks to contribute to tax, unless somebody who also skives from tax tells them to think this way. The tories are letting them get away with it, and in return, they are sponsoring their campaign. we have the opportunity to force them to contribute, but you're buying into propaganda from the corporations that will be hit hardest.

He said all education for free so any stupid course would be free like photography

Its not just uni, its further education colleges and its part time open university courses. Look at it another way. If you want to be a security guard or work in catering, you are expected to take or have the right ticket but right now, obtaining that ticket is expensive. Companies are presently making a killing on these courses. We need to get proper apprenticeships back with minimum cost to the apprentice because if we don't, we will continue, out of need, to employ people from abroad.

Of the G7 we are now bottom of the pile.

Unless you mean developing countries or 3rd world countries? We for now are marginally better, although this comparison to other countries in the world is pointless.
