"shy Tory" aren't people that tell a polling company that they're voting Conservative and then turn up to a televised leaders' debate to be a representative of that side's demographic. They're the exact opposite of that. Yes indeed. My point was that it's difficult to tell the difference between 20%, 40% and 70% of an audience applauding and cheering. The Tories/potential Tories have little to shout about and probably wouldn't even if they did but doesn't mean they didn't make up a large proportion of the audience just because of the comparative noise levels.

Popular Post Davkaus Posted May 31, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2017 I'm not saying I think it will happen, but I might be in danger of literally pissing myself laughing if the reanimated corpse of the late Theresa May manages to lose a guaranteed landslide. It suddenly seems possible.There's a week left to make up the gap, and May and her cabinet still have a few of their own feet to shoot at. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicho Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Rudd seemed to have been briefed to say "magic money tree" as much as possible. She and the party did not come out of that well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With which I agree entirely. It certainly stands up to scrutiny more than the "biased audiences" that the more paranoid members of society might whine about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She seems not to be acquainted with the explanations from the Bank of England, the Deutschebank and others, explaining that money is, in effect, brought into existence via a magic money tree. Needs to spend a bit more time reading, and a lot less time talking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Just read there is a QT show featuring both May and Corbyn on the 2nd June. Closer to the event and will be far more critical than tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were the conspiratorial type, I'd even say that it looked like it was planned that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 A week to go and the PM ducked a TV debate (shitting it), then looked tired and sweaty when asked about it. Strong and Stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It suddenly seems possible.There's a week left to make up the gap, and May and her cabinet still have a few of their own feet to shoot at. If I were Corbyn now, I'd spend the next week deflecting from myself and just keep hammering the policies. There is a small, semi-genuine chance here and the Tories know it. They will do everything now to go after him as an individual and he remains a weakness in the eyes of some of the electorate. He needs to front it, he needs to tell the nation to look beyond him, it isn't just about him, it's about the policies. There is a clear choice this time and I think people are seeing that, but many remain unconvinced by him. He's done a decent job of turning that around at times, but put his foot in his mouth at others. He's got to get through these next few days unscathed. The Tories could blow this yet.
