When did you last vote for hope? | Owen Jones talks...

You have a stark choice at the 2017 general election: Theresa May's campaign of negativity or Jeremy Corbyn's positive vision for the future of this country. A choice between a Labour party that will invest in education, in the NHS and housing or five more years of Tory spending cuts. For the first time in a long time you can choose hope.

The Guardian YouTube network:

The last time I voted for hope was when I saw a poll asking what my favorite StarWars film was.

What you call hope, I call wishful thinking.

Excellent video Owen - I wish this could be shown on mainstream TV tonight! It sums up my feelings exactly! Cheers mate!
Over to you Youngsters - Save our NHS - VOTE LABOUR!

Hi Owen. As a Labour Party member I would like to say I think I understood where you were coming from when you questioned Jeremy's leadership. I didn't totally agree with you but I understood that your heart was with the left. But I have to say that your performance during this election campaign has been nothing short of brilliant. Every TV appearance has been a resounding success. You have not allowed the interviewers or your opponents an inch. You have won hands down every time. Whatever the outcome tomorrow, I would personally like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your amazing efforts Thank you Owen.

Last voted for the hope to leave the cancerous bureaucratic undemocratic EU!

I never voted for "Hope" because that hasn't ever been an option, in this non-Disney movie world.

I agree that by adopting a more Keynesian economic policy there is another route without austerity but this is never explained, in simple terms, to the electorate. Many see borrowing purely as a negative. However, me, being very, very strongly against Brexit, I don't hold out a lot of hope if we come out of the EU. Further, the Party that presides over Brexit will, for ever more, be blamed for what will be its many shortcomings. May must know that leaving the EU is madness but she is more interested in pursuing her Political career and will just try to make the best of a bad job, which could be an economic disaster. I hope for a leader who will be brave enough to tell the bully boy Brexit people just how ffing stupid leaving the EU is, and then give us another chance to vote with a sensibly designed referendum.

Brexit, and I loved the result. I am now hopeful for the future of Britain.

We can GIVE everyone a job? What job is that, and who's do the "giving"?
And you extend that job "giving" top the entire planet with "no borders".

[JessWasMistaken]

Im scottish and have been voting since 2014, every vote I have ever cast has been one of hope

[mateuszminsky]

Last vote for hope? November 2016. Seriously? Yes, seriously.

Comments section is certainly its usual cesspit

[aperson]

Interesting question. Not sure I've ever voted for hope.

[ruthbashford]

I want a political party in power that faces up to the problem of immigration. There's too much of it. I want a political party in power that is not cowed by Islam but acknowledges it is a problem that needs to be tackled. To many that simple statement will make me a racist, bigot, xenophobe, Islamophobe or even a Nazi. Tragically free speech is Britain is

[victorfelton]

Win or Lose the election Jermy Corbyn & Owen Jones has given me hope for a better britian . Not for me ( I am 65 ) but for the next generation .
