not as much as a Marxist as chancellor, an 'ex' communist communications lead and a prime minster who would do away with our key military treaties and systems before we even get started on his dodgy acquaintances and past voting record... ala labour. Look at Venezuela for guidance on what happens to Marxist lead countries who run out of other people cash to bribe the electorate....

i despise the Tories (May in particular) but we really are stuck with bad or even worse this time round

100% agree.

it just is, removing such authoritarian laws is never easy, and adding human rights back in is always a monumental task that hardly ever happens.

for a start work tribunals are no longer free, meaning companies can do what they want as long as they think you don't have enough money to pay the fees.

no T went to court to undermine democracy and turn it into a dictatorship, if she had won she could have then passed what ever laws she wnated without parliament interfering in her plans.

no one you seem so blasie you don't seem to know anything of this, human rights, workers rights etc. just causally voting to throw so much away.

Nope don't get it - maybe governments just realise that the changes weren't so bad after all so they don't bother changing them back?

Yes i'd rather work tribunals were free if I ever had to have one

I thought you were talking about the government going to court to stop the brexit appeal. Did you mean something else?

Of course I know about human rights - however I find a lot of the language being used to be very strong and hyperbolic based on a starment fromt he PM that contained Ifs and Maybles so I am looking for information on what might actually change so I can make an informed decision

I know there is a lot of historical animosity towards the tories with regards to workers rights which is why I asked for recent changes they have made. I try and vote based on the future not the past

If I was casually voting I wouldn't be on here asking questions to inform my decision

For the same reason VAT is not applied to food (other than "luxury" items). Because education is a fundamental and basic necessity of our society. It's not trade, it's our future.

Then it should be something that government provides on an equal footing to every single child in this country to see to it that everyone has exactly the same opportunities for it rather than the rich getting better opportunities because they can pay for it ? or is that too socialist for you and it should be right that the rich will always have the greater opportunities. The government should focus on providing better education for all and not their crazy perverted idea of grammar schools which the rich will ensure their kids get to by providing them with all the private tuition needed to pass the entrance exams that poorer families could never afford.

f its not a trade then we are private companies running them at a profit?

I meant to distinguish it from things that aren't basic essential elements of life. Food, Education... neither are subject to VAT. You can make profit from either but the State should not be saying to the people: "You must pay for the right to have these things."

Nope and tahts exactly what I was on about, she was trying to over turn democracy and go all dictatorship on us, unsurprisingly she lost.

That is what he was talking about. May went to court to try and win the fact she could make executive orders like Trump and lost. That was not defending democracy but the opposite despite what the DM headlines have you believe.

LD but they unfortunately have no hope. Lets be honest TM is going to get in :(, just probably not with as many seats as she thought.

the top right corner should scare everyone.

and compare that to 2010 and you see just how far left labour have gone, relay do think LD are the party most would be happy with right middle ground, but as I said people wont vote for them and a lot of its down to most people vote who tehir family has historically voted for, and tactics play another part. We need voting refrom but neither labour or tories are going to give us that.
