Are there any Tory voters here?

[swamp]

Yes I vote Tory.

Does any contractor here plan to vote for a party that will continue with IR35? Implement legislation against "income shifting"?!

There are turkeys who vote for Christmas. There are contractors who vote Labour.

And will the Torys do any better?

Yes.

The Tories plan to end IR35, though it's not (yet) official policy. Most people expect a review at the very least.

I dont trust them. I dont intend to vote for either.

So does that mean you'll vote for someone else, or abstain completely?

[Solidec]

Have never voted tory in my voting life. First vote in 1997 was for Labour at the tender age of 18, second was for Lib Dems in 2001, third I was out of the country and missed the chance to vote.

I will be tactically voting this time around, depending on who has a better chance of winning my local seat, Lib Dem or Conservative, basically ANYTHING to keep the Labour scum out.

Will it make any difference? I might just spoil my ballot paper. I shall scrawl across some obscenity about GB. Of course the voting papers are untraceable so they will never know it was me......

You wait until I start my thread about bears........

Without a Tory government this country has had it.

1. I don't trust them.
2. Given all the rather important things going on, I wouldn't base much on IR35. IMHO IR35 is part right and part wrong. The wrong part is just not that significant in the wider scheme of things.

It is my view it needs a leader prepared to take very unpopular measures. I read recently that Maggie fully expected to get only 1 term in office. She did not care as long as she did the right thing for the country. She was very lucky with the Falklands.

DC just wants to be loved. As does GB. Thats no way to run things for the medium/long term.
