    I agree with you in fact I'd say the lot of them scream ineptitude. How bad must she be though to stand out from the crowd?

    No doubt Abbot is a train crash. Is she seriously worse than Boris though?
    He was planning a middle east bombing campaign off his own bat a month ago.
    Theresa May, grief. "strong & stable" Soundbites & rhetoric & a lack of giving a **** about anyone.
    Michael Gove ... need I go on.

    Personalities do come into play in voting, but if anyone on less than £70k a year thinks they or their families will
    be better off / safer with the Tories back in charge, then good luck to you. This government are only interested in the mega rich.
    They can't wait for us to be a cut price tax haven, off the coast of Europe & that is plain to see by their manifesto.

    If you keep going, I reckon you might reach somewhere in the region, of say, 650ish ;-)

    To be fair to my MP, he seems reasonable - although I haven't fully checked into everything he has done yet. Some of the MPs do a really good job for their constituents, it's just that many of them are lying knob-jockeys and it seems that the bigger the lie, the more they get rewarded for it (BoJo and his Big Red Bus, Davies and his "aspirations").

    Lucky you - My MP is Jeremy Hunt, even my Tory friends don't like him, my Mate who is a retired GP who never has a bad word to say about anyone makes an exception in Hunts case, - but he will still get in again unfortunately

    The thought of voting this thick-as-pig-****, do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do anti-British terrorist-loving innumerate, Abbott, into power is making me physically sick. Others are right to point out above that there are plenty of odious characters proliferating the alternative party too, which just leads me to conclude that this is the worst choice to lead our country at any election in my lifetime.

    Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's India where there is a mandatory box for "none of the above" on the ballot paper. I really think we should follow the world's largest democracy and introduce this and so none of them get in until they come up with someone vaguely competent.

    I can't help thinking that May is so robotic, unfeeling and incompetent that a half-decent Labour candidate and front-bench team would have walked this election, someone like John Smith (RIP), who must be writhing in his grave.

    In the end I will hold my nose and cast my vote for the party that I think will best help my beloved NHS but I really don't want any of the current main players running my country.

    I believe Australia has mandatory voting and "NOTA" on the ballot papers.

    Yes it is australia who have compulsay voting. But has a NOTA "none of the above" box. That would be the box I would be ticking if voting was compulsory on Thursday dress it up however you want but two terrible choices imo

    Surely you have at least 3 choices to vote for? (Main two and LibDems and some people have UKIP, Nationalists or other minor irrelevancies).

    That is a good point. Where is that waste of space fall guy for Tories Mr Hunt. They are keeping him off the front line, he may fuckit up for Tories on their privatisation of the Nhs

    These Tories are so inept, malicious and self-serving that you feel any half decent opposition should take them apart.

    Labour's problem is that after all the infighting, they've lost some very capable MPs from the front bench. As a result they now resemble the Arsenal team in the early rounds of the league cup - too many 2nd and 3rd choice picks. Diane Abbott as Home Secretary is worse than Nicklas Bendtner up front.

    That said, I'd much rather take that than 5 more years of these Tories milking this country for their own benefit.

    LOL, I thought Bendtner showed a lot of promise in his early days at Arsenal...

    You make a good point. I reckon a fair few of the PLP who stabbed Corbyn in the back may start to come crawling back, if he gets anywhere near a victory on Thursday though. Corbyn's original cabinet had some strong names in it, but the likes of Hilary Benn didn't have the nerve to stand up for anything other than conservativism-lite.
