I am similar Deb, never voted Labour but would vote for them just to get the Tories out as it stands, I can't believe how bad they've been the past few years. Yeah, what we've got now is definitely not what I voted for. I think I have to vote for my most recent constituency which is Harborough, so depending on the candidates at the time my vote could go any way, other than Con. Like you, whatever gets them out.

But if the pound has fallen 7% since Friday, 0.25% of that is due to the labour govt element, 2% is down to dollar strength and about 5% is down to the incompetence of our govt When you hear on Sky News that the Bank of England has had to step in to protect an unnamed number of significant pension funds from collapsing then the inept nature of this government is brought into sharp focus. Above all, financial institutions value stability. A Labour government led by Starmer must seem like a pretty attractive proposition to them at this point.

This is what happens when your whole political message is based on culture wars. You lose touch with reality. Sunak, despite him being of an alternative political persuasion to me, and being disgustingly rich, is clearly competent and is somebody his party should’ve trusted to run the country through difficult economic times. Instead we’ve ended up with someone who has done more damage in a week than Putin could ever do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now not only am I planning to go through whatever hassle it will be, but I'll also more than likely be voting Labour for the first time in my life. "Red Deb" has a certain ring to it. Perhaps you should change your user name? Maybe best to leave it until well after the Forest game, though, to avoid misunderstandings.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st albans fox Posted 28 September 2022 Share Posted 28 September 2022 Sterling seems to have managed to tag itself to other major currencies as the day has progressed and has gained with them overall obviously we need it to find about 7% in addition to these but that seems pretty unlikely for the time being Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great. Lol democratically elected - Hungary whete the second largest party is in effect an arm of the leading party and the president is now in his fifth term. The EU’s threat has nothing to do with right of centre governments. After all big players such as France are led by a right of centre government. They want to protect democracy, the rights of LGBT persons, abortion laws and the freedom of movement (within the scope of the EU) Cos after all you could be any of the following:- gay or have an unwanted pregnancy or a non-National and right wing politically. But you’d still be treated like a piece of shit regardless of your political view Edited 28 September 2022 by CosbehFox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand the point you're attempting to make. Britain is poorer because of decisions made by vast swathes of the electorate. Tbf I don't necessarily think there's anything wrong with that, I haven't always voted solely with economic growth in mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great. Are human rights violations more palatable when they're arrived at through a "democratically elected right of centre government", then? I'm not sure that they are - at least with autocracies one has the excuse that the people in power "don't know any better" and it's all their fault. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
