General Election Pre-Thread (6 of 6)

[limpid]

A new one each week to keep the poll relevant.

The party specific stuff can go on the party specific threads (but there will be some overlap). This is more for general stuff about the election, like the horrifying backstories of candidates.

I've tweaked the number ranges based on last week's poll.

It does really feel like that's the one thing that could dampen the mood next Friday. Anything more than two or three Reform goblins and it'll really take the shine off things.

At least it has Lib Dems as official opposition

[ml1dch]

Haha, they're doing this nonsense again

It's a lot more tolerable when you can just laugh at them, rather than getting angry because dimwits are going to be taken in by and vote for them.

Starmer making a mess of this debate. The audience love Rishi - incredibly suspect given they’re polling at barely over 15%

Oh dear Starmer…

[Jonesy7211]

Starmer is like a rabbit in the headlights. Really struggling to bat off Rishi's absurd claims and arrogance.

Bit of a snoozefest

Sunak "I want my daughters to grow up in a country that..."

My wife: "...isn't  this one."

[Davkaus]

This "spin room" bollocks seems like the media and politicians have all got together and agreed that their farts smell incredibly appetising.

I'm  about half an hour behind on the debate. I can't  wait for this shower to get kicked out. Sunak is such an obnoxious twerp. 

I don't  think Starmer has been good, and I'm  not voting for his party, but he at least is coming across as a grown up. 

Edit: NOTHING  ON CLIMATE CHANGE. WTF!!!!

I'm gutted that I didn't realise that the debate was 15 minutes from my house until I saw them leaving.

There was a debate? 
Glad I gave up with them after the very first one. I’d rather take a razor blade to my scrotum

[markavfc40]

I didn't watch the debate as felt it was nailed on that it would be a repeat of the first debate with Sunak shouting over/interrupting Starmer and telling lies/spouting nonsense. Reading comments on line it seems that is exactly how it played out. 

Roll on next Thursday.

The first one was by far the worst one tbh, but yeah, you didn't miss much tonight.

[chrisp65]

To be fair to Starmer, it can’t be easy for him to debate with conviction on any subject.

They are an absolutely pointless exercise.
