You are saying you're afraid but I think if you look at the decisions the Tory government has made and the policies they've enacted then I don't think you are being very logical.

The conservative government has seen:

* Wide spread fraud (£££ contracts for friends of ministers + covid loan fraud)

* Wide spread law breaking (covid lockdown laws) * MPs being charged with sexual offences ranging from assault to rape

* Brexit policies, negotiations, and treaties that are chaotic and highly damaging to the economy

* Inefficient social welfare programs that leave disabled people starving to death

If you pay tax in the UK then I don't honestly see how you could be worried about a change in government. The conservatives are only capable of 'governing' by giving large amounts of tax payers money to private companies that extract a large amount of profit while delivering the minimum possible for the money.



> Wide spread law breaking (covid lockdown laws)

Under a Labour government there would have been much more covid laws to break. The conservatives have been terrible, but socialist governments around the world have been much more tyrannical.


Whatever government that is less likely to raise my taxes!

Though you are right, Conservatives are not better than Labour these days.

Everything tends to converge on some safe centre-left.
