Funnily enough Boris does it everyday but the media portray him as a lovable buffoon. 'Bah err yes, err Corbyn, you see, Corbyn votes against this, something or other, that's why you can't trust him, yes not to be trusted'
'But you voted the same Boris?'
'Did I?? Really? Oh well there you go then!'
Guffaws and bonhomie all round........

When did it become a personality referendum not the election of a party who's policies you agree with?

Since Murdoch decreed it.

Totally wrong nowadays, young people think they are voting for either May or Corbyn, most don't realise there are other parties. Personality not policies, the whole thing is a joke.

I don't think that's the case. Talking with my daughter, who fits the criteria as a young person, she is 100% voting on her belief & policies. Compare that to the Daily Mail reading middle-aged who think Theresa must be wonderful as she is white, middle-class & a vicar's daughter, while Jeremy is plain evil because he doesn't wear a tie.

May: Hold my sherry.
