“This country is f–ked” - senior Tory

[radish2008]

Nah - so in 5 years time when next GE comes around what will have happened

1) Brexit will be 3 years in the past (at least)
2) The UK economy will not have tanked.
3) Orwell's Animal Farm will have got back on the GCSE curriculum and people will understand that 'For the many, not the few' can also be written as 'All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others'
4) The students who voted labour will now have jobs and be voting tory.
5) The reduction in immigration will lead to a reduction in labour voters

Anything I have missed?

Yes. One big point. The election won't be in 5 years.

Firstly, Brexit will be a disaster. When it all goes wrong the Tories will feel the wrath of the electorate.

Secondly, only old people vote Tory. Every year as their voting base die off the pendulum moves towards Labour at a rate of roughly 2% per year. The harking back to Victorian Britain has very little appeal to the young.

Labour is already 5 points ahead of the Tories and it's only going to get worse as they hobble off into the Brexit sunset with the DUP.

With CUK General there is no need for Comedy Central

Ok maybe a large enough percentage to offset the few still waiting for Corbyn's socialist wet dream where the poor do nothing and the rich pay for everything.

You and Shaunbhoy and Co. will have been in your cold graves for a year or two and the too young to vote in the referendum remainers will now be part of a pro EU majority

You're probably right about #4.

Why won't you put 10 grand on it? It's dead cert innit.

[eek]

Applying for my German passport in the not to distant future. And a UK passport. Soon I'll be as British as the Royal family.

8 years isn't it?

And no dual citizenship so you'll lose UK.

You can keep your British citizenship while it is in the EU.
