I'll probably vote SDP. I'm not so big on their centre-left economics, but I like their communitarianism. Greg Clark is a good Conservative MP but he doesn't need my vote as he'll win anyway. SDP? Will you be taking a time machine back to 1986 to do it?

Christ, the Tories are as bad as the Lib Dems at deliberately trying to mislead the public.
This is genuinely shameful stuff, isn't it?

Oh, I think saying that the Tories "murdered" 120,000 people through Austerity by manipulating the statistics from a very dubiously researched Oxfam report is pretty fucking low too.

And yet it is repeated with rote like regularity by some. See also: they're gonna privatise the NHS! Populist, fear mongering bollocks. And, yes, the Tories can fuck off n all if DF's post is correct btw.

That's the one thing that shits me about political discourse these days (on both sides), the immediate response to something happening is "but but but the other side did this at well", and nothing ever gets fucking discussed properly. If the Conservatives are doctoring videos to deceive the voting public, talk about that first, then get onto the Labour says that Tories are killing people stuff.

the people that really run the world like nothing better than to have one half of the people at the other half's throats. it keeps us from the torches and the pitchforks.

I don't doubt that the Tories manipulated the video. But the suggestion is that one side is morally more pure than the other. The fact is that both sides are just as bad as each other.

It's an election and people & parties will say anything to get votes.
How Corbyn expects to "fix Brexit in 6 months" is hilarious. Just as Johnson's 20,000 police officers is a bit of a massive stab in the dark.

Absolutely.
I just hate that 'they're all the same' line. It's lazy thinking. And it's never true.
