    And it depends what you mean by a good deal. For who? There is no way a tory govt is going to get a deal that will sort out the inequalities in this country. It wont happen. If it does then I will vote Tory because the Tories will have turned into a socialist party. Do you think they will?
    Why would I make allowances for Labour atm, they’re not in number 10, they’re not running things.

    Tell me Roly would you say the same things if it was labour in power?

    About what?

    There was no one more critical of the Blair regime than me. If they are not helping/ defending the poor I will criticise any party including Labour. How many times have I said on here my most hated PM after Thatcher was Blair.

    Even Boris aint as bad as Blair in that he does what it says on the tin. I expected him to be a bumbling buffoon and a lying toad and he has been. I expect better off Labour Mps. It is probably why a lot of people who normally vote Labour like Stovic have turned against em. My only argument with this is ,yes criticise Labour but dont jump out of the frying pan and into the fire by thinking the Tories will achieve the same for you as Labour would. It is not that straight forward. Just because there is a lack of choice at a general election doesnt mean that the other parties are going to be better. You have to judge them on their merit.

    My own view is that parliamentary democracy is shyte but until someone comes up wi summat better you have to choose the best of a bad bunch. Interestingly what has happened with the corona virus has thrown up some potential seeds of change for the worlds political systems. I don't think we can ever go back to how we were, certainly not fully, and I think thats a good thing for the planet.

    You know very well what I’m asking.
