What Voting Conservative Means

[tregenza]

Whoever is in power after the election will have to make hard choices about tax and spending. The boom years are over and we face a period of shrinking budgets and cut backs

Bloody well said.

Conservatives seem to still believe that selling off services so they take some of the money going into them as profit makes them better. Anybody who's used trains since the 1980s knows the truth of this mantra.

Thank you.

Thank you. I'm writing from America, where there is massive resistance to the idea of the government being in a position to build care facilities like the one you describe. Where tax cuts for the rich are supported by the poor because they've absorbed the idea that it is their destiny also to be rich.

I admire a lot about America but the insane resistance to health care and other forms of communal help is just mind-boggling.

Thank you.
It will be a cold day in hell before the Conservatives ever get my vote.

Same here but I see a lot people online who might not be pro-tory but are definitely anti-Brown.

Care Homes

I think the Tories in County Hall (especially Kay Cutts) are uncaring, unfeeling people. How dare they sell peoples homes from beneath them. They were supposed to consult for at least 1 year before taking the action they have. They have advertised the sales in the Guardian now because they know they stand no chance of getting in to power at the next County election based on their current record.

They are a disgrace and embarassement to the honest people who voted for them thinking they would do as they said they would. They don't deserve any respect. Even the people working in County Hall can't stand them.
