I am really looking forward to getting out and campaigning on the doorsteps and in the streets for the Conservative Party as I have done on numerous occasions for both national and local elections.Not forgetting of course the delivery of leaflets and all other tasks required at such elections. Edited by Willo (30 Oct 2019 8.58am) I agree That the fiasco with Brexit can pretty much be traced back to Teresa Mays decision to haveing that election when she was looked for more majority and fecked it, so having to side with The DUP, and Meaning That she couldn't get her deal through with enough support... but I'm normally a tory, but I don;t think I can vote for them this time round - even thogh I like Boris generally - but I don't agree with Brexit, especially in this guise. and I cant viote for Corbyn, coz hes a disaggreable t***, which leaves me with only one other option. I don't share yours or the polls confidence of a tory majority at the next election. "It was a Team effort, I guess it took all players working together to lose this one"

Slightly concerned Corbyn will promise solutions to all the country’s ills (but will take 20+ years of his politics in reality to have a chance) and the marginals will vote for it. But hopefully enough people will see he’s just a protestor or ‘disagreeable tw@t.’ COYP

Edited by Willo (30 Oct 2019 9.26am) I wouldn't massively disagree with any of that but it's not really an answer is it? The withdrawal agreement still has considerably greater issues than Northern Ireland in terms of ongoing alignment and control by the EU. Remember England is by far the biggest and the only independently economically viable country in this union.

Real progress on reducing our deficit – it is down by two-thirds. This safeguards our economy for the long-term and keeps mortgage rates low. From April 2017, Conservatives will have cut income tax for 31 million people. It means a typical basic rate taxpayer will be paying over £1,000 less income tax than when we came into government five years ago. And it means another 1.3 million of the lowest paid taken out of tax altogether. Employment is up by over 2.5 million since the 2010 General Election. That’s over two and a half million more people with the security of bringing home a regular pay packet. Conservatives backing business.Because we have backed small business and enterprise with better infrastructure and lower taxes there are 900,000 more businesses, helping drive growth and create jobs. ETC ETC ETC ETC !!!!!!!!! The constraints of time preclude me from adding to this list. Edited by Willo (30 Oct 2019 9.56am)
