The traditional CF voting intentions thread, week 3

[Itshim]

Interesting or not ! Wales complians about speed limit , rubbish NHS , bullying fire service, rotten schools, and locally parking costs. Seem to blame the tories for them all. Don't seem to grasp they are all down to labour

Not go to the ECHR, who tell us to release him.


and

want us to leave the EU, so we can get rid of undesirable without all this human rights BS. Then terrorist suspects can't use us as a safe haven. Also stop those how come here just to claim our benefits.

You didn't know what you were voting for then and you don't now




You are one of the people that would suffer most under a CONservative (see we can both play childish word games) junta but you do you David and don't come crying to us when they screw the backside out of you as you knew what you were voting for

Be fair on the chap most Brexit voters didn't know what they were voting for. They do now and they've got it. They seem pissed off for some reason....

How much do you think you should get ?

Whilst that may be the cash amount you receive, are you paying rent ? Mortgage? Does your father receive a reduction in council tax ?

Wales is not a sovereign nation so it can always say it doesn't get enough funding from central UK coffers which are under the Conservatives' purse strings. So poorer performing schools etc can be blamed on the Conservatives. Once a UK Labour government is in power, this argument becomes trickier to make if Wales is run by a Labour government too.

A few posters on here remind me of a Harry Enfield sketch...

I've seen it before, but it still made me chuckle. And scratch myself!

Apropos of nothing, whilst falling down an internet search rabbit-hole (initially started with Rishi’s having no Sky TV when he was a kid, as his example of "doing without"), I found out that since the end of WW2, there have only been 4 PMs who didn’t attend Oxford University - Winston Churchill (1951-55), James Callaghan (didn’t attend Uni), John Major (didn’t attend Uni), & Gordon Brown (Edinburgh University).

Out of 79 years of PMs since the war, nearly 80% have been Oxonian led…

Council tax reduction isn’t means tested….

It's also odd there has not been one Cambridge PM since the war.

I certainly fear the Greens after seeing their plans for NI increases.

Only if you earn over £50k, it's an extra fiver a week. You'd survive somehow.
At least they are more honest than other parties about tax.

Andrea Jenkyns (Leeds South West & Morley Tory Candidate) is panicking - no mention of Conservatives on her Election leaflet, and it has a picture of her with Farage...



Update - just seen the other side of the leaflet, where it mentions (once) "under our Conservative Government" - see if you can find it...

It’s not as if UK Labour would be able to increase funding to Wales. Boris and co spaffed billions to his mates remember so it’s not as if there’ll be much left in the bank to give us.

The UK's been in debt for a long time.

At the end of 2023/24 public sector net debt was £2,690 billion (i.e. £2.6 trillion), or 98% of GDP. This is equivalent to around £37,900 per person in the UK.
