Stu BS: UK General Election (410* d) RE: BS: UK General Election 07 May 17


"our society will continue to disintegrate, youth training will never be properly addressed, housing will be a pipe dream for our poorest young folks infrastructure and public services will continue to decay."

The decline in our services, infrastructure and the inequalities present in our society are not the fault of the EU or immigrants, but the result of government policy, in this case austerity. A vote for the tories, the ultimate establishment party is a vote in favour of pursuing the polices of the last seven years, not least of which is the continued running down of the NHS and the welfare state, the greatest political achievement ever and directly born of out of the desire to alleviate the suffering of ordinary people following the horrors of war; our families literally fought and died so our politicians could do what's best for the people; that seems like a pipe dream these days, and there are no politicians of the stature of Bevan et al, certainly not in the tory party.

Our hope lies in our youth, that they (who were overwhelmingly pro-EU and thankfully an outward-looking bunch) will vote and curb the disaster that these old white establishment men are visiting on them. Labour could win if they mobilise and vote ion enough numbers; they at least have the wit to see past the personalities and consider the policies.
