Not-with-standing a possible Liberal Democrats resurgence to circumvent the referendum all in the name of democracy you understand. To help the little people who can’t decide issues for themselves and need the educated café-latte metropolitan elites to keep them on the path to their servitude and salvation for a fee of course.
Meanwhile, the SNP in Scotland plans for another neverendum referendum on leaving the UK. The first in a generation since 2014- who’s counting the SNP aren’t if you mean their performance in important issues like education in which they are in power in government to improve.
Yet again, the English conservatives have managed to make a complete “ass” of themselves over the Grenfell Tower tragedy with an investigation report on the fire service’s involvement with Jacob Rees-Mogg making blundering inaccuracies and needless comments on the matter on LBC radio.
Still further taking three years to elect a Brexit-orientated cabinet may possibly have avoided the need for the first Christmas general election for a century.
The likelihood of Brexit remains a perplexed nirvana as unreal and unobtainable as ever with parliament and voters still split as 2016 over the never-ending Brexit issue.
The electioneering will debate, angrily, many issues- as Jeremy Corbyn would hope to boost Labour’s chances at the polls as they remain as badly divided as the Conservatives over the looming elephant in the polling booth.
Here’s a good suggestion to help win the election- build more affordable homes. Cut the planning obfuscation and cluttering around planning permissions, use pre-fabrication where sensible and get building (and training apprentices too).
Spending promises to outspend each other on the economy are key election tactics and hopefully will translate into infrastructure projects. They can be financed with low or even negative interest rates on government borrowing. These projects can lift productivity, provide employment and provide a financial return as projects such as bridges or tunnels can be tolled.
The NHS always a mainstay of attention in an election of who loves it the most while this time castigating any American who comes anywhere near a UK facility in fear that they may steal it way from us.
US Pharmaceutical companies supply approximately 12% of NHS needs. There are already huge concerns that they’ll charge higher prices once Brexit happens and a renewed Conservative government concludes a new trade deal along with such terms.
Why the NHS management would agree to pay higher prices for US pharmaceuticals needs to be fully explained? Considering that competitors from India, Germany, Switzerland, or France are still very much wishing to supply the UK.
In the run-up to the 12th December polling day they’ll be plenty of grandiose-promises and rancor between parties, factions, and personalities (yes, there are even some of those).
However, the outcome may well be just to keep on fudging Britain along a Brexit road but at least it will be Christmas and someone might be more in charge than they are now.
The 12th day of Advent cometh.
