If Labour got in (still a big if) Hammond would be able to leave a note saying there's still no money and even more IOU's

Different sides of the same coin.

If Corbyn were to win there's an upside for me; Watching all the lefties fume as it slowly dawns his combination of sending out the 'come to Britain' signal, boosting benefits and harming business will be a disaster for their personal finances.


Free money wasn't free after all, who woulda though it.......

I suppose its hard for a tory to understand that sometimes people vote for a party that isnt going to be of much benefit for their own finances.

Anyway, as stated, a majority wants either a soft Brexit or no Brexit at all, that much is clear.
No need to squabble.

I see you and Mrs Abbott were in the same Maths class at school!

I'll keep it simple

Would more people rather a hard Brexit over a soft Brexit?
fact = yes

Would more people rather a hard Brexit over a no Brexit?
fact = yes

Would more people rather a hard/soft Brexit over a soft/no Brexit?
fact = yes

is there any combination of options not including hard Brexit that wouldn't be a larger majority if you swapped ANY option with Hard Brexit.
fact = no

The thing is - they said that is why Ed lost 2 years ago - because it looked like the LP would form a coalition with the SNP.

It's in neither the Labour party nor the SNP's interests to go into formal coalition in the ( still unlikely ) event of a hung parliament. Labour would have to govern as a minority govt and deal with the other parties on an issue by issue basis.

Er, what? "Yes," isn't a fact, it's an answer.

The polls I have seen show about 35% of people wanting a hard brexit, the rest wanting something inbetween that and no brexit, or answering, "don't know."
