General Election is ON - Thursday 12 December!

With regards to voting - I am registered to vote but I might not be in my constituency when polling opens (probably only for the day, so I might get back in time). Is it possible to vote elsewhere or should I register for a postal vote now?

To be safe, I think it is best to register for a postal vote. Many students, old people and very busy people, I think, should register for postal vote.

Yeah that sounds like a good idea, thank you!

What do you think about this? I think it is fair.

I'd have liked her to have it back since she's not standing again anyway but she did leave government to side the with an opposition even if not the main opposition. So yes, it is fair.

These are just Tory-led attacks on a Party focused on support for everyone.

Actually if we put aside the rest of their policies, the way they have proposed nationalisation of energy, water and private schools does prevent a severe danger to Sterling.

Right now the proposals are not as i understand it to buy the firms at market value (would cost about £200bn collectively) but to more or less just appropriate the assets without compensation. Now if you do that and even ignore the fact that it is literally theft of private property, you are not just stealing from British investors that you might compensate in some form, you are actively as government policy choosing to steal from Canadian, Australian and Singaporian pension funds.

Do you believe that their politicians will choose to invest further (tens of billions each year) in a country which has just impoverished their pensioners ect..

- This is the problem with fantasy economics. If Labour won't raise taxes or cut spending by the amount they need (because they'd never be elected if they did) then they resort to saying they'll steal from foreign pensioners ect.

How a government wants to do something can be as important as what they wish to do.

I'll be voting Labour.

Lets take your House analogy, but make it correct by changing one thing:

In brexit - the EU doesn't want to sell the house. Their ultimate goal is to keep the house the way it was before. They are not a willing seller as you are portraying them to be in your analogy.

So in reality, your sat in someones house saying you want to buy it.. and they are saying 'no, we don't want to sell you the house'. Your post is misleading because when you buy a house, normally you are buying from a willing seller.. its a negotiation between two parties who both want the same outcome.

The tory plan is: Lets negotiate the best price for the house.. but if you refuse, we won't leave or give up. we will stay here and force you to negotiate even if it means damaging both of us.

The labour plan is: Lets negotiate the best price for the house.. after you give us your price, we will take it back to our family to vote on your price. By the way, half of our family don't actually want to buy your house.

Be 100% honest. Which of those gives you the best price.

In the first option, the Seller (who remember, doesn't want to sell) has motivation to do something they don't want to do. Its not great motivation because it hurts the buyer as well.. but its motivation not to just refuse.

In the second option, why would the seller ever offer a good price? If the house is worth 200k, why would they not ask for 2 million? What motivation do they have? They don't want to sell it after all.. and they know that your going to put their price to a vote, where half of the people don't want it anyway.. surely their best path to victory is to give you an unsreasonably bad offer, so that you vote against it, and they keep their house.

I am not in favour of complete nationalisation of all industries. I agree that this could be viewed as an aggressive act against other countries and our own citizens. I favour a bit of nationalisation for mismanaged institutions with others whipped up to shape.

I think the Labour Party is a broad church where everyone is welcome. I think a Labour Government will provide a strong and excellent alternative to the failing Tory Government.

Nationalisation of public services and certain industry is a wonderful thing as long as the country remains democratic and the wealth generated is spread out and not hoarded in at the top or shipped overseas to spend an eternity in a off shore bank accounts.

I agree. That is why we need a Labour Government to bring in good and sustainable changes.
