Makes sense, at this point I wouldn't be surprised if they proposed making the UK the British Empire again and appointing May as Emperor-in-chief. Wouldn't be surprised if people voted for it, either.

Making the UK the British Empire again would mean scrapping the Commonwealth Immigration Act and there's no way the country would vote for "free movement of goods, capital, services, and labour, but this time 500 million of them are black."

If the past is anything to go by, Labour's immigration policy will be "Tough on Immigration, but not quiiiite as tough as the Tories, and definitely not in a racist way like UKIP".

I don't think it's going to be fulls balls to the wall, writing on the mug levels of immigration, but there has to be some sort of concession otherwise it's political suicide, which I think is why they're keeping tight-lipped about it for now.

I'm running with a zero tolerance immigration policy. No one enters and no one leaves until we sort everything else* out. * Everything more important than hospital car park fees, anyway.

^^^^Tory Thunderdome but it's a country The Tories look to be keeping their impossible promise of net migration to tens of thousands so abolish all borders now because borders kill. However Labour will probably talk mostly about protecting the rights of EU citizens here to be allowed to remain, tackling gang masters and the seasonal labour force and if they've got any sense keeping immigration levels at whatever level is necessary to keep the NHS fully staffed. namesake fucked around with this message at 11:39 on May 8, 2017 |

Corbyn's talked in the past about bringing the immigration impact fund. Can't really argue about the impact of immigration if you're being reimbursed monetarily for it*! *Who am I kidding, it's about ARE CULTURE

https://www.politicshome.com/news/uk/political-parties/conservative-party/theresa-may/news/85751/theresa-may-give-me-mandate-bigquote:Theresa May has claimed that Emmanuel Macron's thumping French presidential election victory shows why she must win a large majority on 8 June. Incidentally, Macron's manifesto has a lot to say about the EU and his desires for its trading arrangements which may be of some relevance to brexit (it's in French of course, but the Google translation is pretty good): https://en-marche.fr/emmanuel-macron/le-programme/europe quote:We will demand that a set of European social rights be established by setting minimum standards for training rights, health cover, unemployment insurance or minimum wage (at levels that take account of unequal development Member States).

You know the kind; career politician, no experience or knowledge outside of that limited scope, openly admits that he wants to gently caress Margaret Thatcher. They're all the same".

BBC has announced it's election plans. There will be a seven way debate with 'senior figures' from all parties on 31st May. A Question Time style Q&A with just May and Corbyn on 2nd June. Another significantly more pointless Q&A with just Farron and Sturgeon on 4th June. And finally a 'Newsbeat Youth' debate with an audience of 16-34 year olds on 6th June. All in all not bad coverage, and the face off between May and Corbyn should be a golden opportunity to reach people and cut through May's soundbites. Also sounds like Labour and the Tories will send someone other than the leader to take part in the large debate. Personally I think McDonnell could do quite well in that role provided he doesn't get ganged up on by the other parties. jabby fucked around with this message at 12:51 on May 8, 2017 |

It won't make any loving difference because the only people who watch the debates have already made up their mind and the people who "just vote", the olds that decide the election, will just read the papers and pick up on the strong and stable stuff then go out and vote for the Tories.

So people will be able to directly compare them.

Looking at some post-election stats on german state media, aparently most Macron voters didn't vote for him but rather against Le Pen - Le Pen was so toxic, people wanted to make sure she stays out. Do we have something like that for May/Corbyn? How many vote for May because she's May, and how many vote for her because she's not Corbyn?
