Subject: RE: BS: Time to choose on June 8th-UK Elections
Trouble with back bench rebels? Hardly. All May has to do is gather them together and tell them point blank - either get with the programme or I will call an election - an election which at the moment we are guaranteed to lose and which will result in most of you losing your seats - make your mind up chaps.

The above is blatantly obvious to everyone in the Conservative Party which is why there will be no back bench revolt and there will be no General election called anytime in the near future.

A Corbyn "led" Labour Government would be a complete and utter disaster for the country, we are still trying to recover from the shambles the last Labour Government made of our economy.

Hammond has hinted at tax rises if the public sector cap is raised or abolished - fair enough, say most in the expectation that somehow "only the rich will pay" - don't you believe it, the working population of the United Kingdom can give public sector workers anything they wish to - as long as the working population of the United Kingdom realises that EVERYBODY will have to pay for it. MY suggestion is that we switch to the Scandinavian model so favoured by the SNP - Base Rate of Tax 38% (That is everybody by the way - In Norway if they want something and vote for it - they pay for it, unlike us the debt is not kicked down the street like a can for future generations to pay off) - That should give public sector workers a good deal and maintain their superior "protected" pension arrangements while the private sector struggles along with everybody having to take out private pension plans (to keep them in old age when the State Pension finally becomes extinct) where Corbyn has stated that he intends taxing your contributions.
