I am not saying old Jezzer is the answer but he could win on the grounds the country is fed up with the in fighting in the Tory party and making a right mess of Brexit. When PM May came out with that stupid comment Labour borrow around the world come on Tories borrow as well and that is a point handed to Jezzer.

PM May own robotic auto answers to old Jezzer are boring the voter. A friend of mind is a hard line Tory and he tells me Mrs May is on course as it stands to loose the next general election. I asked who can replace her? His answer none of that lot on the front bench, what of Boris I ask, answer I get, you are kidding right.

I see the same on the Labour front benches, seems to me both party's are in trouble and both know it. Yes it could be possible from now to the next general election one of them is going to take the big gamble which could pay off.

Remember the voter votes out the government not vote them in.

I am a swing and some times a non voter who has no loyalty to any party. Everyone should be the same, that would make things more interesting.

So how long ago has it been since we last saw a left wing Labour government?

Remember, I said 'left wing'

You bet, spent too many years bringing up family and paying inflated interest rates on a mortgage.

1970's with sky high rubbish on the streets, three day working week and lots of power cuts and strikes. OK, bad but the good news with the BBC strikes and power cuts that load of rubbish was off the air. Point taken jim, you and I lived though it but the young today have no understanding or even know what it was like. If old Jezzer wins it will be that lot who vote the Tories out.

No far from it, another year and a bit of talks that are going no where.

Conservative party is in government with the DUP and are divided. Labour party in opposition can not make their minds up leaving the Liberal, SNP and Green party pro EU.
