All that should matter at this election is getting the Tories out. Whether that means voting Green, Labour, Lib Dem, Plaid or SNP, none of them could be worse that the sh1tshow we have at present. |  | |  |

That's just a worried left wing view of the world.
In the run up to the 2010 election when it was highly likely that neither the Tories or Labour would get a majority, the Lib Dems came out and stated they would seek to form a government with which ever party won the most seats. They clearly thought that was likely to be Labour - hence the several days of procrastinating about forming a coalition with the Tories. But, they stuck to the commitment and formed a government.
As for austerity, well it was a shocking but necessary act. Labour had spunked all of our reserves (including selling the gold) during the hey days of the early 2000s (remember Brown stood up and said they'd ended boom and bust) and left us nothing when the global financial crisis hit. Remember the 'The cupboard is bare' note from the outgoing Labour treasury ministers in 2010. If the government hadn't gone for austerity measures to reduce the deficit we would have fallen back into a deep and long recession. Yes it hurt like hell but in the long run it was necessary.
Just like 2010, I'll be voting Lib Dem again - especially with the two main parties moving further to the left/right wing extremes. |  | | |

Osborne and Cameron's 'austerity' was a politically motivated plan to create a much smaller state. The effects of that now show across everything that makes for a functioning state: the police, courts, prisons and probation, the NHS, schools and the military.
Can you tell me how much smaller the deficit is after nine years of Tory rule than in 2010? |  |

Blimey the cult is panicking, they have gone really early with the desperate nasty stuff. I suppose they are facing the reality moment for the brainwashing to be exposed, despite all the talk a GE is the worst possible thing for them. |  |

Let's hope that this time the Lib Dems can form a coalition with Labour and be a moderating influence to the lunatic left. | | | |

Did the cuts need to be as deep?
There has always been a suggestion that the depth of the cuts were for ideological reasons, to shrink state control ultimately
It's quite staggering that Boris is going to run a campaign where they basically admit austerity was a mistake as if they weren't responsible for the last 10 years of pain |  |

I’ll give Corbyn the benefit of the doubt, as people can change their minds.
However, it is not his promise to make or keep as the members will make the decision after an election. So to say your policy is remain is slight of hand, as it simply can’t be honoured by Corbyn alone.
If Len gets his people out to vote, remain quickly turns to leave | | | |

I don't think it's possible to overstate the damage this incarnation of the Tory party has done to our country.
They've taken a fringe issue and, for purely party political reasons, turned it into a national obsession, dividing the country possibly irreparably, turning families and friends against each other and poisoning the mood of the nation.
They are willing to damage the economy, and therefore our already hugely overstretched public services, and sacrifice the union just to gain some votes from Farage.
Corbyn is rubbish and I'm not particularly sold on Swinson either but I can't see how anyone could be worse than what we currently have.
If Putin had been war-gaming how to damage the UK's future the most in just 3 years I doubt he could have done better than this shower. | | | |

There are many similar clips, they are ignored, it is a strange world where people vote for someone so disingenuous and stands for what they hate.
Yes Boris is equally disingenuous. |  | | |

It's a tough one, isn't it, given we already have an Islamophobe in number 10. Ideally neither of them, GB, but if you're asking me to choose in such binary terms I'm with what the Labour party offers by a million miles. | |

It requires non stop highlighting, the current opposition, the party that the majority on here are supporting is being investigated by the EHRC, the same party has had sitting MP's leave due to the anti-Semitism from the power makers of the party.
It should be raised continuously. | | | |

It does. And so does the Conservatives' gross and dangerous institutional Islamophobia. Will it be? | |

That’s the narrative. Top marks.
There is of course an entirely different way of reading it, especially when you address evidence rather than taking accusations as read. |  |
