My parents are voting Tory.

I tried guys. I really did.

I nearly got my dad to go with Lib Dem as he’s against Brexit but the lack of strong opposition has swung him back to Tory.

Being against Brexit and voting Tory. I despair.

Fundamentally for me, it's the constant dirty tricks and lying that the political right have to conduct their campaigns around in order to get elected. It's basically a scam that people fall for during each election cycle. Again and again, like clockwork.

She's pretty great, but a major reason for that is because our Parliament isn't split so she can pass the legislation she wants.

Our right wing party is very centre-right on the political spectrum, and would sit further left than the Democratic Party in the USA. When they were in power they legalised gay marriage and their leader was agnostic. They generally vote with the government (as Jacinda's party Labour did when the other was in power).

Our gun legislation after the March 15 tragedy this year only had one vote against it. It was David Seymour, whose party ACT only has one seat. Please watch this video and laugh at him on NZ Dancing With The Stars (the one on the left). He deserves the ridicule.

Edit: If Boris tried to hug me I would kick him in the balls.

 

Nice!  My daughter and son in law who live in NZ think she is great, a breath of fresh air compared to what they left here five years ago! My two grandkids are now  wee kiwis and I’m happy with the environment they are being brought up in.

Jesus, that's mind-boggling Matt. 

 

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't Labour's stance one of "no comment"?

 

I feel their pain, as they can't come out with a specific position on Brexit (bad for various seats) but it doesn't help people who might want to drift away from the Conservatives.

I thought labours brexit stance was clear, present the plan for leaving along with the option to remain and let the public vote.

Today’s the day ... let’s get those arseholes out please

If you vote Tory you are either operating under a disastrous misapprehension of economics or are wilfully malign. (In my opinion)

 

Vote for the only show in town, up the Corbyn shit on the Boris, forzaaa labourrrr

Could just stab them whilst they’re asleep?

Good luck today from Australia.

Unfortunately the majority of the population are selfish and would pull the ladder up the moment they get theirs. Add in a compliant conservative media brainwashing voters to blame the people they should be in solidarity with for every problem rather than the people who should be held accountable. It’s no coincidence that the three dumpster fires of politics in the US, UK and Australia have the biggest Murdoch influence.

I remember a time where hiding in a fridge would be the end of a candidate. Now nothing seems to matter.

Good morning all!

Renegotiate a deal; put it to a second ref V remain; Corbyn to remain neutral.

How is Jacinda getting on at the moment? My wife is from down there and reckons people are starting to turn on her back home (we live in London) and don't appreciate what they have..

Cheers for the vid - weirdly Jess was complaining only last night that her parents voted ACT last time. I wasn't sure what that entailed but now get the picture!

Please consider a tactical vote! In a first past the post election it’s really worth lending your vote to a party that has a realistic chance to change the government 

[Crazyfool01]

Upset stomach today ... lets hope thats the only thing round these parts thats upset .... fortunately polling station less than 1 minute walk away .... Time to get out and vote folks and change our future and that of the kids / Grandkids /neices and Nephews ... lets bring them up in Glastonbury environment not one fuelled by hatred of other humans ...

My Grandma hates her, but she's usually a right wing voter so I guess that means she's doing well.

I'm pretty multipartisan, and I think she's doing a good job. Some of her caucus are useless but you get that with all governments.

We're really lucky in New Zealand with our politics. Fingers crossed in our referendums next year we'll get cannabis and medically assisted dying legalised!

[grilladelphia]

Got into the polling station pre-work, all sorted. fingers crossed for ya boy in red!!!

[Crazyfool01]

Tactical voting the way to go with Emily ... meanwhile Michael

It’s simple 

The only party that oppose Brexit are one which won’t get in.

Labour is not appealing to a lifelong Tory voter.

Depends what constituency he is in? If it's a con/lib marginal then they defo could get in in that seat

It’s not good enough for people who are sick and tired of it. Tories telling a lie that it will all be over by Christmas is what the general public want to hear.
