Now the main parties have publised their manifestos, hopefully voters will judge their policies not rhetoric.
Next time around much more likely once Brexit is done and dusted.

So Brexit blinds people to any other policies, to deep inequalities, complete mishandling of the economy and deliberate destruction of the NHS and welfare state. Exactly what May and the right were counting on when they called this election.

They've successfully tapped into a particular strain of monomaniac obsession here haven't they? While you worry about the awful Europeans and other foreigners, the Tories are quietly destroying everything good about this country.

Tory manifesto is pro-fracking: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/election-2017-conservatives-fracking-party-manifesto-tory-gas-shale-domestic-enivronment-a7742496.html.

Do you really want to give free reign to this because you don't think anything else matters until Brexit is "done and dusted" (which could easily take a decade)? How much damage to the environment do you reckon could be done in that timescale?
