    I have thought long and hard and have always voted Conservation but when Mrs May back tracked on social care and then denied she was that was it for me. IMHO she is not up to the job. I am not saying Mr Corbyn is so based on that will probably vote for one of the minority parties.

    You think the leader of one of the minority parties IS up to the job?

    Which party? I must have missed it.

    I am not a Green, but Caroline Lucas and Jonathan Bartley are good, Tim Farron is a match for Teresa May, because she is rubbish.

    whats so backward about nationalising certain industries?

    It's a waste of energy. There are so many more important things that effort needs to be put into.

    You do what you have to and I will do what I feel is right for the country and me.
