Really glad we didn't pay those tuition fees up front and took all student loans - We have MSE to thank for that. The hours, weeks, months we all spent arguing about that over on the student board.

If the LP write them off - that could have been £100k wasted.

I cannot believe the depths these tabloids are sinking to.

The Tories are planning to spend £8 billion more on the NHS in the next 5 years - the LP £7.5 billion.

Fact.

And don't forget most of that 7.5bn will go on higher salaries rather than increased healthcare.

Yeah mate take that Nurse from question time, like all public sector workers her pay rises have been capped at 1% since 2009. Inflation alone is pushing 3% this year. Thats a total joke. How do you expect these people to live? Food banks? Meanwhile MPs get fat rises.

It's the worst. At least they don't have the influence they once did.

Instead MSE forums are where the tory vote breeds?

It's aimed at morons and it works.

I've landed in the same place as I did after brexit. I'm not as fussed about who wins but more fussed that democracy is stupid because we allow anyone who is capable of holding a crayon and buying a copy of the daily mail a say it matters

Most people don't see politics in the black and white the way you do - they float around.

Otherwise how can explain the referendum vote last year and now this - it makes no sense.
