[Stavros]

Most relevant point: it would be easy for a Jew to become Prime Minister; for a Roman Catholic, impossible.

You're voting for this guy?

[Laphroaig]

Voting Tory means voting for utter cunts like Jacob Rees-Mogg.

as a life-long Tory, I'm confident we can secure a Brexit deal, and get an absolute majority. nor more DUPers to back us up, we'll be on our own.
.

Rough day?

Depends which polls you're willing to be influenced by, but. at the moment pretty much same as the last election .

Do you have any policies you're interested in or want to see enacted or is it just resentment through and through?

Policies?
Yeah, I'd like to see a few enacted.

First and foremost. proper funding for the NHS
(I'm not going to go into personal details here, but that's more than just a battle cry to me)!
End to homelessness.
End to in-work poverty,
End to child poverty.
End to the need for foodbanks. (All a fucking disgrace to our country, the so-called 5th richest nation on earth).
Decent funding for youth services
End to tuition fees.
Re-nationalization of utilities, rail, bus and postal services.
Proper funding for the emergency services - Not trying to catch up with the services they've already cut.

And if I sound resentful, it's because i resent what they've down to us, I resent the MSM pissing down my back and telling me it's raining. I resent them aiding and abetting them, allowing them to get away with it.

Linked below, the FT poll of polls, updated on the 23rd November.
My view, for what it's worth, is that while the polls give the Conservatives a comfortable lead over Labour, this is also what they showed in 2017 when the result was a hung Parliament with the two main parties both polling around 40%. This time around there are bound to be startling results in individual constituencies, because of the controversies in Labour over anti-Semitism, and with the Conservative Party because of their internal haemorrhage of Remain MPs or 'disloyal' MPs expelled from the Party, men and women who are seeking election as Independent MPs, most notably former Attorney General Dominic Grieve, and Justice Secretary David Gauke.
Expect Labour and the Conservatives to either lose all, or most of their seats in Scotland. Labour looks set to lose votes in the North-East and the Midlands, while the Conservatives appear to be losing votes in constituencies in the formerly safe South-East and the Greater London area.
In other words, we don't yet know if the loss of votes for both main parties will result in a loss of seats.
I suspect that formerly safe seats may become marginals at this election.
So far, Corbyn has put Labour at the front of most election coverage, in part because the Party released its 'Manifesto' generating a lot of publicity, in part because the Tories have not. The Conservatives appear to be using Boris Johnson as their 'banker' on the basis that he connects with 'the people' and has more enthusiasm and energy than the other party leaders. It is also a weakness in the sense that Boris Johnson is unpredictable, frequently fails to answer questions truthfully if at all, and with more scrutiny is as untrustworthy as Jeremy Corbyn.
One is depicted as an anti-Semitic, terrorist supporting socialist, the other as a maverick whose party is soaked in Russian cash while the leader is under investigation for not one, but two cases of improper behaviour with women who may have benefited financially and politically when Johnson was Mayor of London, though only one of the two women managed to produce another Johnson baby -the full count of his offspring has not been made.

Tony Blair was Catholic. Okay, he only officially converted after he left office. But still.
