I suspect that the best he can hope for is a hung parliament - which to me would be a better option than BoJo with freedom to do what he wanted!
And of course if you spread that message of fear then everyone will stick to the shit main two and get a shit result! |

It sounds like you're comfortable with a minority Labour government if it stops Brexit and that's fair enough, you're entitled to your opinion and I suspect a number of otherwise sane people might come to the same conclusion; needless to say I just hope there won't be enough of you to put Corbyn in Number 10 come Friday 13th! |

BTW, why does the Poll in this thread show Conservative as Red, Labour as Blue, Green and aquamarine, and Other as green ?
Russian interference ?

But if you don't want BoJo with a majority you'd presumably be even less keen on him as leader of a minority government given the likely coalition partners in that scenario? That being the case you don't want him at all which (IMO) leaves Corbyn as the only alternative - comes down to who you most want to avoid!

John McDonnell on BBCr4today saying he wants to 'rewrite the rules of the economy'.
If youre looking for one overarching reason not to vote Labour, this is it. Economy destroyers, plain and simple, in pursuit of an archaic and failed ideology based on envy and ignorance.

Lib Dems not taking part in the debate tonight......can only do them good as the more Jo Swinson speaks the more she turns people off.
She reminds me of a junior member of a university debating team, eager to get involved but lacking any persuasion in her arguments. Surely LD have a stronger leader amongst them? |

PS Interesting that this election seems to revolve so much around the leaders. Maybe that's always been the case but this time it seems even more pronounced. Apart from Caroline Lucas, they're all utterly cr*p, with Corbyn in a league of cr*pness of his very own.

I'd rather vote for the junior debating society who wants to get involved than either of them..... one is the protest leader outside, and the other is captain of the rugger team, doesnt play but is involved in all the shenanigans, one of the lads.... |

Any accountants out there?
I've just read the attached article from 7th Nov. Section 7 summarises Labour's proposed new rules on borrowing. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/50325432 From the article - "......At the moment, if the government borrows £1m to build a road, that counts as £1m more added to the national debt. But under the new rule, the government now owns a new road which would be worth around £1m. The value of the new asset - the road - balances out the new debt, and public sector net worth hasn't changed at all. This means the government can borrow much more than it would have done under the old rules, as long as it uses that money to invest in an asset." So assuming they can raise the money in the first place, Labour's new rule means that an investment appears as both asset and liability simultaneously on the balance sheet? Is that possible? How can a road in which you have invested £1m be treated as an asset, cancelling out the debt? Surely it's a liability, pure and simple, which is how it's treated under the rules of the current government. So, as long as every bit of expenditure is treated as an asset, they can spend as much as they like, literally, provided that they can borrow the money or raise the taxes. F*ck me. Im no accountant but this sounds pretty dodgy to me and noone is talking about it in the press?

So on the one hand they are correct, there is now a road, and under historic cost accounting it did indeed cost a £1m. However, we all know that assets at cost and the value of the asset are not the same - we all have cars that prove that! So he is talking about historic cost accounting and trying to match an historic cost asset against a current value liability (as sadly liabilities dont depreciate).... It might confuse your average voter but it is, as always with Labour finances, complete and utter bollox and why I cant vote for them... Edit - PS thanks for sharing, I have borrowed it for the fans forum of my hometown football club, somewhat left of the views you would find on here!

So, wrong basically, and as you say, not something which the average voter will give a t*ss about until the country has been bankrupted, there's no bread on the shelves and the lights are only on three days a week Small wonder that Corbyn and McDonnell want out of the EU as well, as I suspect that EU spending rules might also have something to say about thier overall spending plans as % GDP and this accounting cheat, as well as their renationalisation plans. I know that Corbyn gets all the flack but McDonnell literally makes my flesh creep
