I will literally vote for anyone to get the converatives out.
I have several usually fairly liberal friends saying they are going to vote Tory because we need strong government for the brexit negotiations. This is complete and utter nonsense. We are screwed when it comes to brexit whatever happens at this general election. The EU have zero insentive to give us anything (we are a small and insignificant minor annoyance to them), the government we have will make no difference to what they offer, and we have no cards to play to make them budge.
What will make a huge difference is the government we have in place after brexit completes, and how that government takes us forward from there. May and the conservatives completly terrify me. Do you know the very first EU bill they announced to be repealed from UK law will be the human rights bill that protects citizens from their own government. Just stop for a minute and consider that this is the number one most important thing the conservatives decided needed to change when we leave the EU... Our protection from them. It is literally the very definition of abuse of power. We need a more middle ground government to bring some sense back to the UK for after brexit completes. Not 5 more years of Tory profiteering.
I urge everyone being swayed by the conservatives waffle to really think about what a long term Tory government will mean. Look into the strongest competitive party in your local constituency and vote for them.
