... "Vote Labour"

As an antidote to Lord Sugar endorsing the Tories, I give you Stephen Hawking (I know who I give more credence to).

He has reservations about JC (not policies but presentation), but still endorses Labour :

Nope, can't find the spat, ZM and I have waffled on about way too many things.

But you've remembered wrong, anyway, ZM. I'm 99% sure that the "spat" was in reference to last year's Scottish Parliament elections, in which I voted but made the decision only with the ballot paper in front of me -- but I can't find the thread where we discussed it.

@Naomi: basically SD's answer is the point. May is a potential PM, Abbott a potential Home Secretary, so it's not a fair comparison. Corbyn v. May is more important, and honestly I can't say who I'd prefer in practice. I've not been enamoured at all by May's leadership and choices so far, so the other part of that evaluation is "who is in control *now*?" May is -- so it's her record that's more important to consider.

But it's likely not to matter anyway. May's going to be PM come Friday, the only question is as to how much of a majority she has.

It was a lot further back in time that the Scottish ref. Probably got pulled.

Can't help but smile at "certain" posters constantly stating that May will be PM and that the Conservatives will win the election...........whilst crossing their fingers and hoping that they will be wrong again, as they were in all the other votes taken in the last few years. :))

Not pulled necessarily, just lost in the noise. I was convinced it was a reference to last year's Scottish elections so that's the time I was looking around.

I might have missed one local election early on, but that's about it. I voted in all the major ones, eg all three referenda and both General/European Elections.
