    Nigel never wan

    People are all different there is no right or wrong, people can vote for any party for any reason, but the "you dont vote for the leader you vote for the party " again its everyone's choice but for me I would/ will vote for a leader who I think is capable of leading . Just as an example m8 and I am in no way patronising you, would you still vote for a party who you believed the leader was a complete Moron and a dangerous man, is the " you vote for the party " still relevant?

    I'll vote for Dan Jarvis while ever he stands in our ward. He's one out of his way to help my family and me out more than once over the past few years, and I know we're not the only ones he's helped.

    From what I can see though, the best the non-tories can hope for is another hung parliament and some sort of working agreement drawn up between Labour and the SNP(and maybe a few other minority parties). Saying that though, if you take the polls at face value(I know, none of them are an exact science) the lead has been as leaky as our defence this season and is now only at about 9 points, so who knows.

    I'm personally hoping that seeing as the polls don't really take into account the number of first-time voters, the gap is actually smaller than believed.

    The problem is though, as seen this past few years, you could vote for a "leader" and within a short amount of time that leader could quit, or be ousted leaving you with a leader you didn't want.

    For me I will be voting for the party that stands the most chance of beating Jeremy Hunt it happens to be Lib Dem but Id vote Labour or Green if either of those had more chance. Not sure how I would vote if we had a fairer voting system but it would definitely not be Tory or Brexit party. Brexit arent standing in Farnham anyway so Brexiters dont have to choose which liar to vote for

    One tiny flaw here; he isn’t anti Semitic.

    I vote for the party that most represents my views. ( labour) But would vote most any other party ( that have more of my views/values ) that would keep the tories out in a marginal. That way it would be one less seat towards Tory rule . Nigel in this case is taking labour votes away but will not put candidates up to divide the Tory vote. So in this case Barnsley votes lost to the tories not brexit. I voted to stay by the way. So it’s a no brainer in my case.

    It's difficult to know what he is as he never commits or gives a definitive answer on anything

    There's people commenting on this forum that make me despair for the future of humanity.
    They and their ilk are the reason we have Trump, accelerating climate change, corrupt politicians who now know they can tell virtually any lie they like and get away with it and no realistic prospect of the world becoming a better place.
    I'm fed up of pussy footing around on here. They need to take a good look at their grasp of facts and their ability to give a toss about anybody but themselves.

    I’m still towing who to go for as I can’t vote tories(live in the 1800s), labour(live in the faraway tree) or brexit(live in North Korea). I would love a none of the above box so that the British public could give these hapless out of touch morons a bloody nose

    Just a gentle reminder that the Lib Dems will jump back into bed with the Tories if offered the chance. Be very careful. I understand trying to unseat Tories, thus voting Libs. But be aware of the risk of getting a Tory anyway. Their leader is a bigger Tory than some of Johnson's cabinet.

    I'd like you to tell us exactly, word for word, what he said that was an admission that he is anti semitic.

    Alec Douglas-Home became PM while not an MP. One of the safe Tories stood down so he could win a by-election a few weeks later. I think its convention that the PM is MP that is leader of the largest party in Westminster - although *in theory* that could be Sturgeon as PM while also first minister of Scotland.

    He hasn’t. He’s not an anti Semite and does not need to apologise. There is some evidence of antisemitism in the Labour Party at branch level and they are doing their best to root it out. He has spent his whole life campaigning for, and with, minority faiths and ethnic minorities, often at risk to himself.

    Contrast this with the openly, unashamedly racist, xenophobic leader of the Conservative Party, who plays to the far right to garner support. Who promised on live TV that there would be an inquiry into Islamophobia in the party, then conveniently reneged on that pledge.

    So who’s your money on again?

    That's debatable, what isn't is his links to Putin and Russian funding of Brexit.

    "I'm not voting labour cos Corbyn hates jews.... I'm going to vote for a massive racist instead"

    Close enough?

    Would you say Hamas are?
    Hezbollah?
    What about Holocaust deniers?
    Why is he appearing on the TV channel of a internally prescribed terrorist organisation
    Known Anti Semites
    People whos entire lifes work is to destroy Israel..
    Why attend Al Quds marches?
    Why share the stage with people who suggest Israel does not have the right to exist.
    Lets not forget the wreath laying for Black September.
    Or appearing ona TV channel censored by Ofcom and with dubious links to hamas.
    why submit EDM's to have the Palestinians behind the bombing of the Israeli embassy released and championing their innocence despite them admitting their guilt. ...

    Judge a man by the company he keeps?

    You saw what happened with the last time the electorate decided to ‘protest vote’?
