Re: Election 2019 - Week 2
The Lib Dems appear to always do well in local elections.

What does make them Communist/Marxist is moving to a command economy. That is what it will be if the Openreach purchase price is decided by Parliament and not by the market.

But wouldn’t that be the Will of the People, if Labour win the Election?
(btw, I think nationalisation of BT Openreach is a bad idea).

Well that's why we have elections every few years, gives people chance to change their minds, makes politicians accountable. The problem with a certain other vote we've had is that there's no going back, it will affect us for decades and we didn't know what was on offer at the time of the vote.

I have a feeling that many knew (or realised) the only way out was a full, no holds barred, bye bye we're off scenario (with a casual backward flip of the fingers as we slammed the door)

Re: Election 2019 - Week 2
The things these politicians say and do, just to get the vote, and once they have it, they'll think of a way to not carry it through. Don't trust any of them.

Very true. But the existential threat is Corbyn and his Commie-symps; it is necessary to chose the lesser evil in the elction.

I don't know, we haven't included Jo Swinson so it could be worse.

I have a friend standing in our Constituency, and I’ve been active Conservative since the early 80’s (constituency officer, area officer, National YC officer, stood at both council and constituency level, worked in very many National and By-Elections, been a researcher for Heseltine and others), but I can’t vote Conservative in this election, because of language like that.
I served and actively worked against the Communist menace, and the Tory party should be elected in what it can do to benefit the country, not by using ‘reds under the bed" smear tactics.
The existential threat is the ex-communists (Putin et al) trying to weaken our country by using psy-ops tactics to spread fear against ‘Others’ and internal strife.
