While the conversation was about MPs that do or don't support Wakefield Trinity/Belle Vue I was happy to let it run but once it descends into just a political argument on principles or name calling particular MPs based on tabloid facts it will have to be locked.

Conversely - anyone who wants a Corbyn government with Abbot, Phillips etc having any sort of input need to give their heads a wobble. It matters not in Wakefield and Normanton/Cas, despite overwhelmingly voting leave and being ignored by our Labour MPs, there is no chance the Tories pick up the seats and no other alternative really as lib dem and BXP going nowhere.

Can see this thread getting locked down pretty soon.

You don’t know what a Corbyn govt would do but you do know what a Tory govt would do.....they’ve been doing it for the last 10 years.
Apart from that did anyone hear the pretty pointless vox pop on Radio 5 this morning? Seems that the rugby league towns are the new election battleground. They interviewed somebody from each of Cas, Leeds, Hudds and Wakefield (Wildcats?!?!). The Wakey fan’s response was interesting.

Very interesting to see that Mary did not vote in favour of the December 12th General Election, (Shock horror) says it all really doesn't it? Just for a second concentrating on that number one key pressing issue - Brexit. 116,165 leave voters in the Wakefield Constituency 58,800 remain voters in a 71% turnout.

I do not agree with your choice, but I would not vilify you for it because I respect your right to choose what you want.

The vilification of someone who disagrees with you is a major problem with UK politics at the moment. A lot of this comes from the 2016 referendum, but we really need to move on and get politicians who are respected and respect each other.

The Wakefiled vote

116165 Leave
58877 Remain oh and Ms Creagh's vote which appears to be valued at 57289, just tipping the balance over to her supported option.

Ms Creagh needs introducing to democacy

I would point out that Boris voted twice against the May deal therefore ensuring Brexit did not occur.
The election is not about Brexit which the current PM wants it to be but about how the country is run for the next five years and how it is now. I would suggest you forget Brexit when considering how to vote and think if you are happy with what it is now then vote for the status quo if not then select an alternative.
I will be voting Labour because I don’t like the country now or what it could become even based on his short time as PM. I hear the usual argument how things will be worse under Labour and Corbyn but as pointed out no one knows but what we do is how they are now.

Take Brexit out of the equation and she's been a decent MP for Wakefield.
Although they are in different constituencies, I'd take Creagh over Jenkyns all day long.

As for how the result will affect Trnity, we are more than likely heading for a hung Parliament and in fairness, the local council will have far more say, in what may happen, than the MP's

I'll put it this way if you think there are some bad people around Boris and there are, there are far worse around Corbyn. When I said I hadn't made my mind up what I should have said was I haven't made my mind up to vote Liberal and hopefully blunt both.

What I am certain about is that a Corbyn Britain, especially one outside the EU will send this country to the wall and I think people really need to take this into account. We are at risk of losing markets and investors through Brexit no doubt but with a reactionary stone age socialist like Corbyn in charge we'd have lost the above even without Brexit!

Finally, when you say 'I hear the usual argument how things will be worse under Labour and Corbyn but as pointed out no one knows but what we do is how they are now' what do you mean? They are the usual arguments because they are true since the end of the war not one single genuinely socialist government anywhere has succeeded in any way. Everyone leaving the countries they took over far worse off than they were before, please name one that hasn't, I'd be fascinated. Remember, especially on the continent, the word 'Social or Socialist' in a parties name doesn't mean they are socialists.

It's fascinating stuff isn't it

Corbyn’s ‘socialist’ policies - renationalising the railway, boosting public services, a national education service, limited worker ownership etc - are hardly 1960s Soviet era. And, whilst you may not like them, they’re generally pretty popular with voters.

Care to elaborate?
