I think you'll find they tried, but leave were running scared. Back then conservatives hadn't stripped themselves of their majority in an act of self harm which is a prelude to their brexit plan.Calpol4life wrote: »Anyone in full time employment, or, running a business will have more money in their pocket under a conservative government.
More money to pay for bupa because the NHS is underfunded.
More money for school fees because the education is underfunded.
It's great for the upper classes.
Sajid made the most incredible claim yesterday when he made the point that only under conservatives would they have money to put into the underfunded police. Labour wouldn't have had the money because they would already have funded it, so somehow the benefit was that the police is under funded. Great logic from smug liars and misleaders.0 -
Has this county ever seen such uncertainty and chaos since the wars?0

Boris all the way. The one thing that gets me is why has David Cameron never been interviewed since or asked WHY he decided to put it to the country if they wanted to stay in the EU or leave?0

Why is the WA not an option now that MPs are somewhat worried about those 2 options.
The votes before were pretty close weren’t they?
Could that not now get through?0 -

AFAIK his reason has been given. He did it because he thought they'd end up back in a lib dem coalition and that they would veto him, it was to try to stem an outflow of voters to ukip.
In hindsight it was a bad judgement.
But then Boris only backed brexit because he thought the referendum would have a remain win, but it would allow him to become PM as the majority of conservative party members are retirement age white men & are just angry that they don't feel powerful anymore
I still don't think he believe in brexit, but it serves him & so he'll pursue it while using his "charm" to sell it to people who won't realise until it's too late what they've done.
Boris own brother has now abandoned him.0 -
Seizing assets from companies and individuals is pretty Marxist.
They haven't actually proposed seizing assets from anyone though, have they?Calpol4life wrote: »Anyone in full time employment, or, running a business will have more money in their pocket under a conservative government.
Only above a certain point, about £70k. It also doesn't factor in things like education costs, NHS costs commuting costs and so on.
I'd probably have more money coming into my account under the Tories, but would have more of it at the end of the month under Labour.0 -

It would have worked perfectly if the EU gave him some small concessions that would have won the referendum.0
