If the Tories got in at the next Gen Election

[_angel_]

Just reading that they want to deduct housing benefit off families who have more than one kid who have their own rooms as being "over housed" and pretend that foster children don't exist for the purposes of housing benefit.

Thinking the unthinkable maybe.

Would it be so bad if the Conservatives won the next General Election? What's the worse that could happen really...

...The continued buttfucking of the UK in the name of 'the city'...

...A final assault on remaining public services in the name of 'efficiency'...

...and probably a lot more nastiness besides...

Don't worry, I thought that as well.

And I was thinking, what do people think will happen if Labour win the next GE, whether under Miliband or anyone else? Do they think it will make much difference, given that Blair tried, successfully, to out-Tory the Tories?
