o/t which party will fold first..

[the_idiotb_stardson]

Labour or Conservative?

Conservatives for me by a neck but both parties will soon be defunct.

2 years tops.

Yes but will the "new" parties be made up of the same old politicians like the new TIG one?

Dream on. The one issue all politicians agree on is self preservation.

Have you bet your tent on that prediction? I'm assuming that you are now living in a tent as you said you'd put your house on the results of the last two referenda in Britain -and got both wrong!
I won't even bother with the details of the horse-racing tips.... or was all that somebody else
Reminder of what Gazza said - "I never make predictions... and I never will!"

Neither of the two major party's will fold , certainly they both have major problems at the moment but both have proved capable of reinventing themselves over the years .

Thatcher routed Labour in the 80's and Blair routed the tories in the 90's .

You could have made a case for either of them not seeing power ever again but they bounced backed .

Out of the two Labour are probably more vulnerable but the tories would never be allowed to fold , far too much money and self interest invested in them by powerful people for that ever to happen .

Very true. Labour on the other hand depend heavily the Unions, which makes the Labour Party stance on cheap foreign labour completely baffling. EU workers in the U.K. just don’t join unions.

That may not be the case, but it is proven that on balance, the vast majority of EU workers do valuable work which through taxes adds to UK wealth. Further, many do low paid care service work which we will struggle without as there are not enough native workers to fill those positions.

You live in a parallel universe, the cash economy is hugely underestimated, theres still a large portion of people who are being paid £5 / hour (over 25s) this inst collected for tax purposes, instead it leaks away

The unions are "proletarian internationalists" as well though, they don't just see themselves standing up for their members but for all the workers of the world.

Whilst investing members money in finance schemes they are supposedly opposed to.
