The size of the majority almost isn't important now because looking at any poll its going to be a big one. Its how Labour then act with that majority because they are getting in on an anti-tory vote. Fail to follow through on what the wider public is expecting of them and any majority they have will mean nothing at the following general election.

Not in a couple of generations has this country needed a good government like it does now.

May not be on the same level as the general election, but still worth keeping an eye on the outcome of the student union elections.

Why do you think a good government will make a difference to the theiveing, corrupt rats nest that controls this country and the rest of the West including Russia.

You're happy!

I'm hoping that despite everything you mentioned - which has been going on since the beginning of time - that this government addresses the issues around social care, that is playing a significant part in drowning the NHS. I'm also looking to see if they make any progress in greater investment into our industries and infrastructure. These are the key factors I will be judging them on. Everyone has different perspectives of course.

Hope eh? You trying to end us all ?

If its all been going on since the end of time why are you even bothering ?

Labour has already demonstrated they will end the NHS by refusing to commit to restoring it. That little rat Streeting who is standing in Ilford is fully funded by private medical money

The Labour Party stooge standing against Corbin is a wealthy private medicine "entrepreneur"

If we "restored the NHS" then what do we restore it to? Its remit of generations ago has changed without proper reference to the public. These days it gets involved in all manner of stuff that it was never designed to do. It has issue to tackle that were not an issue 70 years ago. Obesity for one.

If the NHS were so great - why has no other country copied it - and why are we all moaning about it?

I think most people would take just restoring it to how it was on 5 May 2010. It was never perfect, but compared to what exists now it was incredible.

It really feels like they're reasoning is "well we're going to get a bully-pumping on July 4th anyways, so might as well cash in one last time while we can"

It's both deeply shocking and also not terribly surprising a) how completely lacking in any form of integrity they are (seemingly right the way up to the inner circle) and b) how f*cking stupid they are to think they wouldn't be found out and c) how they're prepared to risk such reputational damage for a few hundred quid.

At least Mone made millions for the sale of her soul (assisted, of course, by one M. Gove)

Yes, but what does that mean? And why is his involvement relevant to these numbers?
