Theresa May has been Prime Minister since June last year.
She hasn't got the symbolic mandate of winning a general election (Cameron stepped down), but she's been in charge for almost a year.
- vjvj 9y agoOops - of course! Corrected, thanks.
- deadbunny 9y agoSure but she's still bound by Cameron's manifesto pledges, by triggering this election she can get her own mandate on her own terms.
- libeclipse 9y agoShe isn't bound legally by it.
- deadbunny 9y agoSure but look at the kickback over the self employed NIC increases from the budget.
- robjan 9y agoYet. She's called a General Election while the only other party with a genuine chance of gaining seats are on its knees. Her party will win by a landslide this June.
- richrichardsson 9y ago> Her party will win by a landslide this June. RIP NHS.
- Fifer82 9y agoI would rather be slaughtered than vote for Conservative, but I have to say, the NHS is already dead. 1. My nephew is 15 months old, sick and has to take tablet form which is almost impossible. The liquid one is beyond the budget. 2. My mum is having big problems with her knee due to arthritis, it has been going on for 4 years, and all they do is treat the pain. So now she is on boxes of Tramadol, and this is creating all kinds of new problems. 3. My father in law has a poor heart and he has medication but what they have given him creates a list of side effects so long that he visits the GP atleast once a week. If he cuts himself, he is in Hospital. However, there are alternatives, but beyond the budget to be prescribed to him. This is my only experiences with the NHS and I don't think it is fit for purpose. The desire of the common person to scream "PROTECT OUR NHS" is feeding into the problems. Now they are even paying Recruitment Agencies huge sums of money to find people remotely qualified, and they are absolutely raking in the cash (I know someone off to Miami with work in August as a perk holiday for working the NHS account).
- sangnoir 9y ago> Now they are even paying Recruitment Agencies huge sums of money to find people remotely qualified, and they are absolutely raking in the cash Now you know why the elite invested their own money into Brexit - Brexit is not just a pet ideology, it is an opportunity to make boatloads of money through privatization. While promoting a nationalist agenda, these well-heeled globalist gentleman will relocate to Monaco, Bahamas or some other sunny island at the first signs of Brexit failing. They will probably do so anyway even if it is a success. May things go well for you and your family.
- cmahler7 9y agoWealthy Canadians get medical care in the US for a reason. Here's some stats on NHS 1. 3x higher death rate after major surgeries compared to US 2. 48% of Brits haven't seen a dentist in over 2 years 3. Average surgery wait time of 18 weeks, 100 days for major surgeries. 4. 1 in 28 die due to subpar care Universal health care = universally terrible Source: http://www.dailywire.com/news/14470/7-things-you-need-know-about-britains-failing-aaron-bandler# http://www.dailywire.com/news/14470/7-things-you-need-know-a...
