Dammed if I know. And despite your specifically asking for reasons FOR, rather than just against Labour, I suspect the 'against Labour' will be strong. So, trying to be fair: all parties have good and bad, active and lazy, interested in the constituents and disdainful of them. So on the few occasions I have voted for 'Conservative' I haven't really: I have voted for a very specific person who happened to be Conservative. When it comes to selling off the NHS, listen out for "free at the point of use" and the provider not mattering. Nonsense of course, the provider matters a great deal in terms of cost and effectiveness. What I think will happen is parts will be sold off to the US and elsewhere, while maintaining "free at the point of use." Then a gradual transformation - probably taking a decade or more - of the NHS into a funding organisation rather than a provider of treatment.
