    If you are voting Tory, have you read the Tory Manifesto?

    In plain English rather than Tory speak; removing a number of powers from MPs and Parliament and giving them to the PM.
    i.e The PM will have presidential powers. All done in the name of democracy.

    Give us your interpretation of the Tory Manifesto.

      We will get rid of the Fixed Term
      Parliaments Act – it has led to
      paralysis at a time the country
      needed decisive action.

      We will continue to support the First
      Past the Post system of voting, as it
      allows voters to kick out politicians
      who don’t deliver, both locally and
      nationally.

      After Brexit we also need to look
      at the broader aspects of our
      constitution: the relationship between
      the Government, Parliament and the
      courts; the functioning of the Royal
      Prerogative; the role of the House
      of Lords

      ...

        Was that your interpretation?

        Seems reasonable to me.

          If what you are saying is right MPs are going to vote so they have less power.

          I honestly wonder how you fookers survive in the wild.

            Like an Enabling Act.

              I’ve read Hard Labour - might as well leave the country if they get in power

                  Sadly, not many people do. And among the ones that do read it, people who actually understand it are even less.

                  Been talking to a friend of mine recently who said he's going to vote Lib Dems. When asked why he replied he's not gonna vote Labour because "Corbyn is a grumpy old men who wants to tax also the air we breathe and give all our taxes to the chavs who claim jsa" (quoting him word for word).

                  He's not going to vote Tory because "Bojo is a clown" (again, word for word).

                  When I asked him what Labour/Tory policies doesn't he agree with and what Lib Dem policies instead he agrees with...no answer. No knowledge whatsoever of what any parties are aiming to do. Not even the main points of the parties' manifestos. Nothing. Nada.
