Voting, at all?
This is not about Brexit. It is what is is, it should have been decide separately ( intact, years ago…), but instead it’s going to decide a general election where most voters will decide their vote based on their brexit stance.
We know that the established politiker, from all parties, lie through their teeth to get elected, and that everything they promise before an election, is null and void the morning after.
The fringe politiker, may be a bit more honest about their particular hobby horse, but are so focused that they can not deal with other matters of importance.
With that in mind, I fear that whoever wins the election, the people of this country are going to be on the rough end of a very bad ride.
The conservatives, will carry on with their austerity. Another 5 years will see Boris erode the benefit system and workers rights. Dont believe the hype of £10.00 minimum wage, if your all on 0 hour contracts, held over a barrel. In their desperate quest to pay for tax cuts, they’ll sell whatever is left in this country to the highest bidder. The gap between the haves and have nots will increase massively.
Labour will embark on a massive spending spree, mainly funded by borrowing, which will ■■■■■■■ the country. If they really implement huge tax rises for business, that will make many move out. (This, combined with a no deal brexit, will devastate industry, because of the impact on all smaller, supplying industries, their employees, and the local economy). Labour will nationalise the public services and the railways. This will initially mean a beter deal for consumers, but will labour properly manage and maintain those services? British Rail was far from perfect.
Lib Dem have proven that they could not open a door if it had instructions printed on it. If they get into a coalition again, they’ll just rubber stamp the incumbents plans.
The other parties are too narrow focused to ever consider as a serious vote, and if used to create a majority government, will only focus on their core issue, and be a disruption in other matters (e.g. the DUP)
To be honest, this time, the politicians that are on offer, I think the country is buggered, whichever way you vote.
