saint901, if it helps you with your decision the bookies are of the opinion that the Liberal Democrats may well get the huge swing you mentioned.
Currently, they are 8/11 on favourites to win the constituency of Romsey and Southampton North. |

Would this be the same Mr Farage who along with Boris Johnson and Michael Gove told us all that Brexit would be best thing since sliced bread ?
I’m sure we all remember the promises don’t we, £350 million a week for the N H S and control of our borders etc etc. That went well didn’t it ?
Mr Farage is only interested In publicity to satisfy one thing, his own ego. He has no concern for the well being of the U K public whatsoever. He’s nothing but a charlatan and a fraud who appeal is restricted to the hard of thinking.
For what it’s worth I don’t disagree with a word you have said franniesTache and thanks for the examples of Mr Farage’s odious past behaviour.. |

Nick, over the last few days I’ve attempted to explain the reasons behind my personal opinion that Mr Sunak has brought disrepute to S F C. I stand full square by my views.
Some contributors to the debate have agreed with me, others have not. Throughout, I’ve stated that whilst not agreeing with them ( including yourself ) I respect their opinion.
On the whole it’s been a civilised discussion ( reflecting well on those use your Forum site ) about a subject to which I acknowledge there may be no definitive answer.
Put simply, I feel that it’s now time to put the matter to bed now with the old adage “ We are going to have to agree to disagree”. Hopefully you will feel the same. |

Nick, this has nothing whatsoever to do with the man who sits next to me, carpet bombing, Arsenal, Mr Starmer or Jimmy Saville does it?
Let’s keep it simple. Last Thursday Mr Sunak as our Prime Minister was representing us all in a non political capacity.
He more than anybody else other than perhaps the King, on our behalf, had a duty to honour this countries last few defenders of democracy. He failed.
It is my contention that not only does his failure reflect badly upon him personally but also our country and by implication Southampton F C with whom he has a significant past and currently ongoing association.
As previously stated my personal view is that I would be happy if Mr Sunak did not attend St Mary’s again. Others including your good self hold a different view. I respect that view but I’m sure you will forgive me if I don’t agree with it. |

No problem Chesham Saint. We all have different views on what we regard as important, it’s what makes life interesting.
With great respect to you however, as someone who says he doesn’t want to engage in what he describes as puerile tosh, you have in fact contributed twice already.
As for the colour of next season’s socks. I can’t help you on that one and I don’t expect your local students union can either!
Enjoy your weekend. |

Thanks for the info djsaint, every day is a school day as the saying goes.
Your concern for my voting intentions is heart warming although I can assure you that the conclusion you appear to have reached is the incorrect one.
If it helps put your mind at ease. I can confirm that it is my intention to vote on July 4 as I have done in the past at every opportunity given to me at more general elections than I care to remember.
Of course I’m happy to leave judgment on Mr Sunak to others. Collectively ( but obviously including my one vote) it is the judgement of millions that matter and not just my opinion. That’s how a democracy functions djsaint. It is indeed living proof of what my father, uncles and countless others of their generation served successfully to secure.
Thank you again for your concerns on my behalf and enjoy your weekend. |

djsaint, I don’t know what cancel culture is. Perhaps that’s because there are more days behind me than those ahead. Is the phrase one primarily used by younger people ?
What I do know is that my father and my uncles together with countless others of their generation served during the Second World War to secure our freedom from tyranny.
And Yes, I am offended when Mr Sunak appears to be unable to understand their sacrifices and places his personal political interests above his duty to properly represent our country. Is that reason enough to suggest that our club would be well served if he were not seen at St Mary’s again? In my opinion “ yes”. You may hold a different view, which I of course respect.
As to whether he is fit to lead the country. I will not comment personally, being happy to leave such a judgement to millions of others on July 4. |

Mr Sunak left yesterday’s 80 year D Day commemorations in Normandy early to make a party political broadcast which is not to be shown until next Wednesday.
This morning Mr Sunak has had to publicly apologise for his lack of judgment and insensitivity in not staying to fully honour the few remaining D Day veterans and their families.
Veterans, whose bravery and courage literally helped secure for us the freedoms so many nowadays take for granted.
In the light of his actions yesterday, I personally would be delighted if in the future Mr Sunak wishes to attend at St Mary’s the club inform him that he is not welcome. |

If we had dispensed with the services of Ralph rather than Oriol at the start of the 22/23 season we wouldn’t have been relegated in the first place.
As for Lallana and Ings they are two injury prone has beens
.Both left us for money when it suited them. Personally, I would rather see us relegated from The Premiership again than see either of them in a Saints shirt once more. |

Russell Martin changed the way we played because of one reason and one reason only, Bazunu picked up an injury that finished his season.
From that moment on he realised that McCarthy was incapable of playing tippy tappy and acting as a sweeper outside of his area.
As I posted at the time Bazunu’s injury was a blessing in disguise because it meant that we at last had a proper experienced keeper. Not the best in the world but light years better than Bazunu will ever be.
I’d go as far to suggest that had Bazunu remained between the sticks we would have not made it to Wembley and would now be looking forward to another Championship season. |

I can’t help but imagine that it was probably “ bugger” in the fashion of Captain Darling writing in his diary on the way to the front for the big push in the last episode of Blackadder.
Seriously had he stayed, this morning he could have still been captain of S F C and have cemented his reputation in the history of the club in the fashion of Matt.
Instead, this mornings he is undoubtedly richer monetarily, still no nearer an England place and I will venture to suggest perhaps a little sad. |

You are absolutely correct Grim. Call it a Manifesto, call it a plan, in truth it makes no difference.
In practice only the party that wins an election can implement their plan.
Now, unless I’ve missed something the only party to be in power for the last 14 years have been the Tories. That being the case, it was down to them to reduce Immigration if they wanted to, particularly given that less than five years ago the public gave them an 80 seat Parliamentary majority.
Outcome ? Total legal Immigration has substantially increased during the Tories period in office.
Why ? Because they know full well that given the UK’s long term declining birth rate our economy cannot function properly without Immigration. Particularly in the areas of the N H S and Social Care.
Unfortunately Immigration is a wedge issue, smoke and mirrors subject, used by a particular group of politicians in an effort to shore up the votes of a cohort of old to very old aged people who are in many instances simply colour prejudiced. |

I’m a little uncertain as to whether you understand how an election campaign works saint901, perhaps you haven’t had an interest in many in previous years ?
What tends to happen is that Political Parties of all colours put their proposals (should they be elected) into a document entitled a Manifesto. Such action by them makes it very easy indeed for interested voters such as yourself to find answers to questions such as the one you have raised.
Bearing in mind that the election was only called yesterday I doubt that any Manifestos have been published yet. So you will no doubt appreciate that you will need to be patient for a little longer before you are in receipt of the information you have requested. |
