Both Labour and Tories looks set to get a spanking.

[Theland]

Voted Labour all my life, (68), but never whilst anti Semitic anti Brexit Corbyn leads the party.
Never for Austerity May, hope for a Brexiteer in all elections.

[New Judge]

"...hope for a Brexiteer in all elections."

Prepare to see your hopes dashed,

//anti Brexit Corbyn//

actually he isn't - he's of the same European mindset as Tony Benn, he knows a good part of his socialist agenda would not be easy with continued EU membership. but he is at odds with most of his party so is likely to "fudge".

[Theland]

Loved Benn. Why did not Corbyn support WTO?

[Spicerack]

jno// I'll have to see whether my local candidates support independence from Britain. High time London seceded.//

We'd all vote for that.

[Theland]

Yes send London back to Pakistan.

[jno]

London produces about a third of Britain's GDP, Theland. Good luck without it.

[Spicerack]

Some of us are more concerned with principles than bank balances.

[jno]

they wouldn't be the ones who've spent the last 20 years whining about how much the EU costs, then, and using phrases like "snouts in the trough" and "gravy train", let alone those proposing giving £350m of EU money to the NHS. Never let it be said the Quitters were bean counters.

[Theland]

And Democracy? Where does that fit in?
A third of GDP?
Am I beholden to them?
Did we not earn our own living?

[david small]

Sick to the gunnels of politicians and the twisted lies they chunder.

[Blubster]

Won't be voting for the regular parties in the forthcoming bi-elections just to show my displeasure. (or any General elections if it comes to that). Strange (and hypocritical) that they are wanting us to take part in a democratic vote when it suits them after totally ignoring the result of the biggest democratic vote in history.

We have a new UKIP candidate - he will be getting my vote

[EDDIE51]

Especially in local elections it is FAR more important to vote for the person who you think is best for the job, no matter what political 'badge' they wear !

[CrapAtCryptics]

Nope my MP is Steve Barclay and hes done exactly what 80%+ of his constituents told him to do.

[Peter Pedant]

3T has confused council elections and EU elections

we go to the polls May 2 for local councillors and the criterion I think is - - can they run the city
I am not sure there is room for politics when are doing bogs and schools ( everyone wants their child to go to a good school)

for the european elections - even the Daily T acknowledges that all the tories are going to vote UKIP ....

[Peter Pedant]

// let alone those proposing giving £350m of EU money to the NHS. //

even St Nige - sorry his maj Nige commented
we shouldnt have said that .....

but by that time "we" had voted for Brexit

[New Judge]

"...for the european elections - even the Daily T acknowledges that all the tories are going to vote UKIP ...."

I don't think the Telegraph suggested they would be voting for UKIP, Peter.

[Peter Pedant]

I plead your honour that this is AB
so by and large it er doesnt matter much what I say .....

[anotheoldgit]

No, because the party which I vote for in Local Elections are working on behalf of me, and addressing issues that are of importance to the area in which I live, so why change because of the shower that are running our country from Westminster?

[Ric.ror]

Yes I am
My mp has voted remain and recently voted for a second referendum despite ‘representing’ an ‘out’ seat
Labours not getting my vote this time and in the Euros - should they happen - I’m probably going to give Brexit my vote
I’m a great admirer of Claire Fox
