I hear you. I too, got taken in by May’s empty rhetoric.
I remember thinking that the past two elections had been all about “Brexit Bashing” and “A vote for Farage is a vote for Labour” -
Well now we seem to have the choice that we can either have the Brexit Dividend gotten, and Labour to go out and spend it all
OR
No Brexit, No Brexit Dividend, No more Farage and a Tory government who’ll keep on blaming Labour for “Sorry there’s no money for anything” despite it being nearly a decade’s old excuse by this point.
If we’re living beyond our means - then let’s at least LIVE rather than put ourselves in hock, our kids even hockier - and get nothing done now, and for all eternity.
Boris’ Empty talk of “more money for the NHS” means nothing - if there’s “Nothing left for anything else”.
We’ll no doubt be told “Sorry, we promised on the basis of winning a massive, undefined majority”.
NO DICE!
We’ve had Two Hung Parliaments this decade already thanks to the public believing the flannel of the Conservatives.
First we had Cameron “buying up Cleggy on the cheap” in 2010, knowing that the one thing they agreed upon was “Being Europhilliac at any price to the UK as a sovereign state”.
Then we had Cameron telling us in 2015 that a “Vote for UKIP is a vote for Labour” along with “Get a referendum with me, but not if I am in coalition again”. It wasn’t even close. We boycotted UKIP for that rhetoric back then, and fell for it. Cameron - didn’t expect Leave to win of course, and couldn’t be bothered to clean up his own mess despite winning a full majority when Leave DID win.
Enter May who had the support of over half the Conservative Party in the initial leadership contest that followed… Gove wisely pulled Boris back from “losing” there, because if Boris had come second to May in that contest - chances are, that would have been Boris’ bid for leadership done - forever.
May - A Remainer full of meaningless platitudes - once again sold us the notion without even campaigning for it that “A No Deal is better than a Bad Deal” and we idiots believed that this meant she actually intended along with over half her Remainer Party supporters - to even TALK of letting No Deal happen.
Now here we are, with May Mk II - 95% the same as May’s Mk I deal. I expected BETTER from Boris - and yet we don’t even have empty promises this time, such as Boris promising a No Deal Brexit if he wins a majority.
NOTHING OF THE SORT!
We’ve been promised Boris’ “Oven Ready” surrender treaty that keeps us in initially for 14 months on full EU payments, waiting for this “free trade agreement” that’ll never come of course - because it is in the EU’s interest to “delay that indefintely” to keep the UK income stream going! Doh!!!
Our Parliament doesn’t seem to have any real GAMBLERS in it. Not those “Gambling with their own political futures” - but rather those prepared to gamble that taking us out of the EU in a way that DESTROYS the EU financially - will make us some kind of pariah in the process on the international stage…
Will it?
If the EU is gone - who gains? Putin? Trump? Jingping?
SURE there will be a balance of power shift. Why not to Merry old BRITAIN though?
The EU are desperate to carry on UK-EU trade - but we should no longer be prepared to pay a subscription for that trade which has always benefited the EU more than the UK, indeed with the UK frequently running a financial deficit on that trade…
…But if we stop paying the subscription - the trade profits the EU make on their own - are NOT enough to pay for the bloated, EUSSR beaurocratic budget - full stop!
Take a view from wider out - and we see that FAR too much cash has been spent propping up ailing businesses, ailing BANKS, and of course ailing political systems along with their supporting parties… Liberal Socialism aka “Tory Lite” - doesn’t work. National Socialism - was a complete disaster as we all know. Now we have one shot left at proper LEFT socialism or the alternative - A return to Imperialist Right Capitalism.
Boris Johnson - is no “Churchill.” Corbyn - with his “voice crying in the wilderness” for proper Socialism paid for out of our own cash repatriated - isn’t quite looking so silly as he once did, neither.
There’s no point in voting Labour if they don’t openly support a No Deal Brexit though.
No point voting Conservative neither!
This election IS all about Brexit. The Prize? - The Brexit Dividend.
Break the laws to get it. Smash the EU as a political entity in the process. Bring it all down in favour of a new, and better system that perhaps should have been there in the first place.
This country being awash with cash - UNITES this country.
Two mainstream parties that say either we can live beyond our means OR suffer endless austerity measures - are about as popular as a rattlesnake in a lucky dip.
Gotta vote for the party that chases the rainbow then: The alternative is "giving up, and accepting everlasting austerity, be it from a Tory government inflicting it upon the nation’s hard-up OR a Labour government - inflicting it upon the working taxpayer hard-up… The choice - is ours as always.
Let’s not all be taken in yet again by the usual rubbish coming from the career politicians used to “getting away with the big lies” because we’re paying far too much attention to the small ones that make the newspapers…
If we leave “Hard Brexit” from the EU and the Tories are NOT in power - then guess what?
How can it possibly then be a “Damaging Tory Brexit”■■
That is what Boris seems to be offering thouogh - and that’s why Boris must NOT get a majority from those who are more scared of Corbyn than of a No Deal Brexit.
I’d happily accept Corbyn as PM IF the Brexit Dividend has been achieved to rule out “tax hikes” and “more borrowing” for our future incoming government.
A Labour/SNP alliance - aint gonna happen. Labour - NEED those SNP seats BACK - but this still leaves them about 30-40 seats short.
Farage - has now ruled himself out as future PM - so no one can accuse him of being an “Extension of the Tory Party”.
He ain’t. Making this country awash with cash for us to then elect the party we see fit to spend that cash “wisely”.
A return to PROPER governments by the people, of the people, - for the people.
Our MPs SHOULD be our wealth creators rather than wealth freeloaders.
If Farage stands 600 candidates - he will be able to dicate who among the entire of Westminster makeup - gets to be PM - a REAL “Kingmaker” simply because now - it won’t be HIM.
That - should be a force to unite the Brexit vote behind those of our MPs that are worth saving among the current complement.
…Then just add the new UK-loving ones that come courtesy of the Brexit Party to displace all those UK-hating Remainers who think we are already a colony/vassal state of the EU, and always will be.
Time to get off the sinking ship - whilst there are still some lifeboats left. Other member states will follow Britain out.
We’re doing them ALL a favour.
Only the rich with large Eurocurrency balances in their bank accounts - stand to lose their entire fortunes if we pull this off.
Companies going bust? Not those serving the public! Only those serving the elites - I would suggest.
