Ok I will rephrase that......(I don't believe those numbers) . Shall we say the always know best brigade and anyone who disagrees with their views are idiots and ignorant.....which has been said only these boards before. How does that sound ...better.

I'm a swing voter if anybody can answer the question I had earlier or, if they can't, explain to me how the only thing that matters isn't the vast government debt and our trade whopping deficits? People get really involved in the `operational' side of politics: should we privatize the NHS, should we ban Johnny Islam from our shores etc. etc. etc. But I honestly don't get it, and it impedes my passion for the rest of politics. Why doesn't any debate have to be about our deficits at the start? If somebody can explain to me (and I'm being absolutely sincere here) why they're not by a country mile the most important detail, I will be genuinely grateful. Yes, yes, I appreciate this shows me up to be a thicko. Ginger, certainly not a thicko. Anyone who actually enters into the debate can be many things but certainly not a thicko. I'm totally convinced I can persuade you on the economics at play in this election. I'm off tonight but will reply with data.

TBF bud, anyone voting for pretty much more of the same again, despite it being to their detriment, could easily be classed as ''an idiot''.

Well,that's very big of you since you do tend to come across as the "my views know better than your views" type yourself at times or is the description only allowed to apply to those you don't agree with?

It sounds like you tend to be happier with settling for the same-old-same-old as being the way to go rather than trying something 'new' (which will also amount to the same-old-same-old but at least it'll be interesting and no more damaging than the s*** we've been through for roughly 80% of the time that we've been privileged with the vote).

I or other "lefty" posters on here may (or may not) be as you suggest .But what is a constant source of amazement and amusement,is how blind those of you who pop at us are:you are no different but completely oblivious to it,you give it but can't take it...It could be felt by some that the only bullying-type behaviour on this thread this evening has been by your (not always so) good self. Notwithstanding that, I still hope you get a seat on the train on Sunday. Edited by legaleagle (12 May 2017 9.23pm)

Where do you get off gusset trying to put words or even thoughts in my head. I make my own mind up about voting with out being led by either side. So give it a rest. You are being quite combative, in my view, unnecessarily. I'm not sure I was putting words in your mouth as you say, I was pleased that I am putting thoughts in your head as it shows you are considering things more seriously than some would give you credit for. The policies you say (earlier in the thread) are interesting are being labelled as hard left by sections of the media. Are they? Edited by nickgusset (12 May 2017 10.00pm)

And again I do not think I am being combative,if not agreeing with people is combative,then I give up. It's a subjective view though, others will see it differently. One thing I've been wondering, I keep hearing that Labour would allow unlimited immigration. Is there any evidence for this? Didn't immigration numbers go up over the past few years? I think we can all agree that the disastrous forays into different conflicts, particularly Iraq, are a driver behind the rise in immigration as people flee the likes of ISIS (who it could be argued only came into being because of the power vacuum and disorder following the war). talking of Prescient, watch this from 4 minutes in.
