General Election 8th June – Who on earth do landlords vote for?

I'm thinking of spoiling my ballot paper although I would prefer to soil it.

It's simple

Vote UKIP - it's the best of a bad job.

We should not reward any government that introduces discrimination based upon occupation, so that excludes the Tories, labour, the greens and the liberal undemocrats.

If you vote Tory, you are signing your own btl death warrant.

I looked up Hobsons choice but that did not fit either!

"A Hobson's choice is a free choice in which only one thing is offered. Because a person may refuse to accept what is offered, the two options are taking it or taking nothing. In other words, one may "take it or leave it." The phrase is said to have originated with Thomas Hobson (1544–1631), a livery stable owner in Cambridge, England, who offered customers the choice of either taking the horse in his stall nearest to the door or taking none at all."

You got it! Or failing UKIP a independent I would add, sadly most wont do the former and hardly any will do the latter.

Sorry I meant to write June but got carried away with too many Mays !

I live in a safe Labour seat. My local MP spoke out against Corbyn and resigned from the Shadow Front Bench and says to me that he is in favour of supporting landlords. He passes on all my letters when i ask him, but doesn't do much more and I've never heard of him actually speaking out in favour of us. He's not like the idiots in the Labour Party though - like Siobhain McDonut who commented that she wanted the 'tax relief' for landlords to be restricted even more... On balance I will probably vote Labour therefore, as it won't be a vote for Corbyn's policies and, like I say, my vote really won't matter anyway as people here are on automatic pilot to vote Labour.

Probably UKIP.

But I've just written to the Chairpersons of the six UKIP regional offices in Wiltshire suggesting that there are up to 2m Landlords votes to be taken from the Tories if they had some Landlord friendly policies.

If you're inclined towards UKIP then can I encourage you to do the same, if enough of us write they might just get some kind of message!!

Response already from the Chairman of the Swindon UKIP group requesting a meeting.

Obviously dangling the prospect of ~2m Landlord votes is tempting given UKIP polled ~4m votes in the 2015 General Election.

I'm quite optimistic about it.

Osborne brought in section 24 for his own political ends, aided by some anti landlord geography students at the treasury who think they deserve to buy a penthouse flat in Knightsbridge.

For a capitalist party it is a bollox policy.

No serious economist supports it.

It is highly likely Theresa May will win easily. One of the first things she did as PM was to sack the weasel Osborne. She couldn't reverse all his poison at once as her position was too precarious.

That all changes with a strong mandate.

Looking forward to the Autumn budget.

I sincerely hope I'm wrong but I think Jeremy Corbyn will be our next Prime Minister.

Now before you shoot me down, please consider this.

The Tory Government has upset a huge percentage of its core voters.

Let's assume 20% of them chose not to vote or instead they vote Green, Lib Dem or UKIP and everybody else votes as they did in the last election.

The outcome would be a landslide victory for the Labour Party.

If that happens we could see rent capping and right to buy introduced into the PRS.

I dare not sleep, the prospects of this will give me nightmares!!!
