The focus group of undecided voters were given a sheet of paper with general questions regarding all of the main party leaders. With the general election now just two days away undecided voters could provide a significant boost to any of the main political parties. The focus group did not hold back when giving their opinions of the two men battling to be the next Prime Minister.

Regarding the current Prime Minister, one focus group member said: “Buffoon but an obstinate one.“

Another stated: “He is a bumbling idiot and it may be a carefully crafted image but it isn’t very reassuring.”

The focus group were equally savage regarding the Labour Party leader. 

One woman said: “I think he’s tired and boring.”  

Another man said regarding Mr Corbyn: “He always seems to be on the side of groups that are not aligned, shall we say, with Britain.” 

On the sheets of paper handed out at the focus group, there was a section titled ‘What words or phrases come to mind when you think about this person’.

Some of the words and phrases regarding the Prime Minister were as followed: blustering, gaff, intelligent, bumbling, privileged and scruffy. 

Mr Corbyn was described in the same section as tired, boring, idealistic, outdated, anti-Semitic, stubborn and a liar. 

When asked what car both of the leaders would be, Mr Johnson was assigned a BMW while Mr Corbyn was compared to a Skoda. 

Meanwhile another voter simply wrote “who?” next to Jo Swinson’s name on the sheet they were given with photos of the leaders’ faces. 

The insight into voter views comes as Labour leader Mr Corbyn was asked in a BBC interview on Tuesday why a picture of a sick child was being made into a political issue when the mother of the child said she didn’t want that to happen.

The Labour Party leader defended the politicisation of the picture and explained it “says something about our NHS”.

Host Louise Minchin asked: “What’s it come to when politics is all about the treatment of a four-year-old boy sick in hospital being used as a political football when his mum specifically says she doesn’t want that to happen.”

Speaking to BBC Breakfast, Mr Corbyn said: “It’s an example of what’s happening in our NHS and it is obviously awful for that little boy and the family that were treated.

“But it does say something about our NHS when this happened and then all research shows there’s a very large number of hospitals where patients are at risk because of staff shortages, lack of equipment and poor maintenance in buildings.

“It is a serious issue, it is a political issue how we fund the NHS.”

Ms Minchin added: “The Royal college of Physicians has said it does not want the NHS to be used as a political football. They’ve also said, and they’ve looked at all the manifestos, the promises that have been made in manifestos are not physically possible, the plans are not credible.”
