snoop1130 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 UK's Johnson has 10-point lead over Labour before election: Kantar poll FILE PHOTO: Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson reacts during a general election campaign visit to Diageo's Roseisle Distillery near Elgin, Scotland, Britain November 7, 2019. Daniel Leal-Olivas/Pool via REUTERS/File Photo LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservative Party has a 10-point lead over the opposition Labour Party, according to an opinion poll published by market research company Kantar on Wednesday, ahead of next month’s election. Support for the Conservatives stood at 37% compared with Labour’s 27%. The pro-European Union Liberal Democrats were on 17% and the Brexit Party was on 9%. Kantar surveyed 1,165 people online between Nov. 7 and Nov. 11, before the Brexit Party announced it would not stand in seats held by Conservative members of parliament. -- © Copyright Reuters 2019-11-13 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking Thailand news and visa info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyPlatt Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 May was meant to be a racing certainty and look what happened. Although, Boris can put both feet in it, he will get a certain amount of leeway because he's Boris. Short of a total tactless disaster, i think the Tories should get a majority. Meanwhile, goody two shoes, Jo Swinson wants a 5 billion flood fund. UK inflation has fallen and growth is below 2% yet another day another giveaway. Does anyone believe this stuff?

jesimps Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 What astonishes me is that 27% of British people want Corbyn as PM. Cradle to the grave; red rosette on a pig crowd I suppose.

stephenterry Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 It would be interesting to see whether the Tories would have a majority vote, should both Labour and the LDs vote against the government, post election. As for the Brexit party, I can't see them winning any constituencies. The main danger to the Tories is not Labour, but the LDs who are contesting marginal Tory-held seats, which could well be a battle over Brexit 'remain or leave' scenario. Roll on 12th December...

blazes Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 For me, the one thing Corbyn has going for him is his determination to re-nationalise the railways. And of course his initials, which suggest he may be able to walk on water... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've either always voted Labour and always will. Or are new voters who've never experienced the disaster of a Labour government. Perhaps more will read his policies - increased taxes for force drivers to make less trips; work place charges for parking to force less cars driven to work; open door immigration with all rules scraped; 32 hour working week (claims higher productivity will offset it - terwatt!). He's <deleted> Sturgeon off now by saying they'll be no new Scottish independence referendum in his first 5 years - but he'll massively invest in Scotland! As usual Labour trying to buy votes with public money. And it will be the people who vote for them who face the consequences. The reality of Corbyn's Labour is nothing like the socialist utopia he pretends. Believe his fairy tales and you'll believe the Berlin Wall and iron curtain were built to keep the Western capitalists out of their socialist paradise. Imagine Corbyn the terrorist loving Stalinist as PM, Marxist McDonnell as Chancellor; Abbott, Corbyn's one time partner in adultery as Home Secretary - what could possibly go wrong?

As someone living in the UK I can say that we are bombarded with this constant barrage of electioneering rubbish every day. You can find a poll telling you that Screaming Lord Sutch is going to win by a landslide if you look hard enough. It is not so much about the Tories winning as Labour (under Corbyn) losing. All those years ago when Thatcher lost the plot, it would have made sense for Labour to move in and win an election. However with Kinnock as leader that was never going to happen because just like now, he was unelectable. In the end it was the Tories who saw the end of Thatcher. It is most likely that the Tories will win the election, it is more about the majority they can achieve (if any). For me it is about doing my bit locally and our focus is to get rid of Raab. An uphill battle in Tory heartland. Obviously Labour is an non starter in leafy Surrey so we are turning our attention to getting the Lib Dems to topple him. Time will tell and we are waiting to see if the Brexit Party field a candidate here. If they do then they will probably do the job for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evadgib Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 What's up with Raab or is this just because the posters having a pop at him are on the opposing side? Serious question as I know little about him either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When challenged on this he simply raises his middle finger. More than that he does little for his constituents treating the majority like plebs. He totally relies on the old school retired majors of which there are many! Enough to save him? Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man lists paragraph after paragraph of the disastrous proposed luney left economics of Corybn and McDonnell and the best you can do is pick up on their immigration policy. If these crazies get hold of the levers of power, no one will want to come to the UK anyway because it will be an economic basket case. The point about many voters being to young to remember the previous disastrous Labour governments is well made. As was mentioned on radio this morning, the last 2 weeks before the election will really decide how many voters vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
