General Election June 2017

We are geared towards feeling more comfortable doing the same thing as others. Backing the winning team ties into that same need.

This can have terrible consequences, no? E.g.

Absolutely. Relevant: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1963/02/16/eichmann-in-jerusalem-i

Well... Just proof about anything can be attractive to some people :):):):)

"How should I vote?" flow diagram please. Thanks in advance

You're welcome.

ARE YOU RICH ? ---------- NO

DO YOU CARE ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE ? ----------- NO

Why we can't have nice thing

I suggest "We'll tax those you are not"

AAAArgh.

Lynton Crosby is a genius.

BBC R4 Today: Chukka Umunna asking Michael Gove; 'Where is the £350 million per week for the NHS'.
First time I've heard any of the brext dissemblers being put on the spot.
Of course, Gove did not answer the question.

Also on BBC R4 today (not Today) - Frank Luntz said if Labour win he'll eat Nick Robinson's notebook. And if they get in a coalition he'll eat half of it. Cheery.

One day we will reach the promised land.

"To put all this another way, the main purpose of this election is to destroy two-party politics as Britain has known it since 1945."

The satirists got there first ;)

I only know one person under 25, they are voting Labour. Is there any sign that the youth are being mobilised? Some Bernie Sanders campaigners are involved I understand.

Grrrr, stop pandering to the Kippers. This means a full exit, not an arrangement like Norway etc.
