Exit Polls

Who voted to make who Home secretary Neil?

The woman in question is a Labour MP...so she sould not be Home Secretary...Shadow Home secretary maybe(for all the good that does).

If Labour had got in she would have been home secretary. Many people didn't vote Labour because they didn't want Jeremy Corbyn to he PM, same thing
 
Ah, that makes it clearer.
But was she the Shadow Home Secretary before the election?
If she was then it is a feasible argument...but if not, then we could not have known who would have been Home Secretary.

I think when people vote in a general election, they have two things on their minds.
1) who they can vote for that will do the best for their own area.
2) who will be the PM of their choice.

I have never heard of anyone voting for a party so that the person of their choice is Home Secretary.
In fact I bet most people could not name the current Home Secretary let alone the Shadow Home Secretary.

Yes Cashy....I am sure you are right...but he's a Mod and I was just being diplomatic.
Do you think I have left it too late for a career in the diplomatic service? :)

Well I thought it was bollox and my career in diplomacy has no chance of getting through it's infancy.

He's a mod yes, but he commented as a person, his personal comments can be agreed with or treated as flim flam if that is what they are.
 
Less, as usual you are right...but I am always wary of even the most mild mannered Mods...and treat them with due deference.(who knows, they might have had a bad day and be looking for someone to vent their spleen on. I don't want it to be me)
But in my mind I can think what I like.
Yes, it was flimflam

Oh if i think its utter crap i usually say so, matters not 1 jot to me who it is, they can say the same to me if they think so.;)
 
It now transpires that Jeremy Corbyn promised to wipe out Student debt and abolish tuition fees without knowing the cost of this promise.
He admitted as much on the Andrew Marr show yesterday morning.
How irresponsible of a man who wanted to be the prime minister of this country...thank goodness he did not get into power.
Lord knows what damage he would have done to the inaccessible of the country with his promises.
Personally I think he knew that it was not feasible, but was keen to gather type votes those who have not had enough experience of life.
Those who have not yet grown their cynical bone...young folk!
And to the many young people who fell for this spiel.
You have been taught a vital lesson in life. If something sounds too good to be true...then it usually is 'too good to be true'.

Now, let me get back to taking my anti cynical pills.

As i have said before,these young idiots are exactly the same as i and many were at that age, "Know it all. But know Nowt"
 
Corbyns lies have resulted in a weakened Government.and this is the last thing we needed at this point in time.
Teresa May is going to have to be more assertive, come out and tell the British people what she intends to do.
We should get out of the EU as quickly as possible, on OUR terms.

My iPad writes what it wants...I should have proof read what it had written before posting.(I was being hurried by himself...and posted without checking)
Above are the corrections to my post.

I just hope those who actually voted twice are prosecuted, will be poetic justice for believing a pack of lies.

It should be impossible to vote twice, we have the technology to prevent it but our voting system is stuck in the past. It's the 21st century and you can cast your vote without having to ID yourself
 
I take my voting card along with me to the polling station...that should be enough.
These students who voted twice would have had a voting card for their home address and one for their student location...but they should only be able to use one of these.
That said...Nick Clegg thinks that youngsters votes should be weighted to be worth more that the votes of older people...that's democratic(NOT)
