up there with Milliband and his bacon butty eating?

The Tories have basically fallen straight into the Labour Party's People versus the Rich narrative through sheer incompetence

To top that off, Day One virtually of Dominic Cummings digital strategy has been exposed with this idiotic attack video in the style Leave.EU have been getting away for years without many complaints, partly because they were preaching to the converted. It's a bit different when people from other areas see it.

As Campaign Launch days go, it really has been shambolic!

You're taking 1 and 1 and getting 5 there

All we know from Boris thus far is that he wants to get Brexit 'done'

As people have already said, their 'Britain Deserves Better' slogan is tragically ironic

I had an argument with a bloke on my uni course who, without irony, said that I should vote Tory because they’re pledging money for the NHS and police 😂

I was also discussing the prospect of another referendum, and I stated that I believe Labour’s policy of a deal vs remain would be the most democratic, as it focuses on the reality of Brexit rather than the dodgy Vote Leave promises. He then said it was right to have another election because Labour MPs haven’t delivered Brexit, which they said they would in 2017, but that a clear referendum ( a specific deal vs remain) after a change of circumstances would be undemocratic...

The hypocrisy is unbelievable

Yes the old, less votes being more Democratic argument is heavilly flawed

Again there's certainly no hint of irony in the fact we have been allowed to reconsider who represents us as an MP three times in four years

I was chatting with my mate at the gym is very much a Trump fan I pointed out that first past the post is flawed, we have an unelected House of Lords and the only area we do actually have proportional representation is in the EU elections rather ironically

Yeah, normally I'd agree with the principle that you have to implement the result before another referendum but the Vote Leave promises aren't even remotely similar to Johnson's deal, and he lead the campaign! So there is only a mandate for something that isn't deliverable. Plus it wouldn't be the same vague ' leave v remain' referendum as before...

If he really wanted to " Get Brexit done", Johnson would have proposed a vote on his deal vs remain, then there would be a popular mandate for his deal. Instead, he's calling a general election to try and preserve the Tory for another 5 years. What happens if he doesn't win a majority? How will he " Get Brexit done" then? And that's without going into the fact that we will continue negotiating new trading relationships with the EU and the rest of the world long after we leave, so we won't be getting it done.

Thing is, the campaign has a long way to go to be as bad as May's "strong and stable" robot one. Even then, they still had the bigger minority.

It seems inevitable the result will be something fairly similar to before and the same impasse there has been for 3 years now.

Fewer people dying on the streets
Fewer people on the streets
Families not getting split apart because granny had the nerve to be born somewhere else

Fewer instances of racial abuse

People not at each other’s throats all the time
Retaining our international reputation for competence and statesmanship....

Strong and stable vs chaos.

How long have the Conservatives been winning on this rhetoric? Why do people still believe it?

The chaos of Brexit, the disaster of austerity and still it is trust us, we are strong and stable, Corbyn will just bring chaos and disaster.

Ed Milliband may well have been the last competent leader of the big 2. Shame he looked a bit funny.

Yes, this so much.
The current chaos, observable, literal and demonstrable, is not as bad as the "possible" Corbyn chaos.
It's as if there is a kind of "project fear" going on.

Won't make the slightest bit of difference as it won't hit the core support. Neither Tory or Labour are making a pitch for the centre ground, which you need to do to win an overall majority. This election isn't going to be won by the centre, hence the reason no party is polling 40%+.

The Tories continue to poll in the late 30%'s despite Boris' well know issues with racism, ignoring democracy and colourful private life whilst Labour are consistently polling the mid 20%'s despite being under investigation by the EHRC for institutionalised racism and the leaders past associations with all manner of nasty people.

Any new vile comments from JRM or his ilk won't dent the Tories numbers that much nor will any new revelations of antisemitic candidates being dropped.

Both main parties will continue to preach to the converted.

I'm dreaming of a hung Parliament because a working majority for either of those Herberts will be very very bad.
With a minority Govt you will need reasonable, popular policies which can pass.
If they can't pass anything then that's probably a good thing.
