To think we are turning into a one party state?

It is unhealthy, in fact toxic, that we are likely to get another 5 - 10 years of the same party being in government.

I can't bear another decade of this party running everything to the ground. I can't bear to live through another decade of individualism. I'd like to see education and arts, culture and sports flourish once more. I'd like to see unity and hope among the people.

It's like we're living in reverse. We should be having cyclic governments, not one party rule, which seems to be the trend for this generation. I despair.

It’s very sad that anyone could consider voting for the Tories after their 9 years in power and the mess they have made of the UK. The I’m alright, ‘live the life I want to live’ attitude is alive and kicking on this thread. Bugger the homeless, the NHS, social services so long as the wealthy are not compromised in any way Hmm

Love - I don’t think a one party state means one party holds all the seats. I think it means it doesn’t matter who you vote for Conservatives will always win.

Nobody thinks labour can win a majority. The numbers no longer add up. The only party that can win a majority is Conservatives.

So we are very very close to a one party state.

No, we aren't. If Labour had credible/moderate/capable leader and senior shadow cabinet, they'd walk it.

A one party state is where no other party is allowed.

We are nowhere near a one party state. One party being successful and then better than mediocre opposition until the opposition get their shit together and dump their useless leader IS NOT A ONE PARTY STATE.
Try living in one before you come out with shit like that. I have. This isn't.
