    Perhaps in the past, the Tories WERE the party for a strong economy, the party that supports business, that supports IT contractors in particular.

    It is clear that this Tory govt is a party that supports sleaze, corruption, fraud, and supports the destruction of the UK IT sector by various means (legislation, work permits, etc)

    Therefore I would suggest everyone reconsiders what they THINK are likely to destroy their livelihoods at the next election.
    All the main parties are in the pocket of the big global mega corporations and therein lies the problem.

    Tactical voting is all well and good but you're still at the mercy who people vote for Clegg because he came over well on that telly programme
    The thing about democracy is you don't choose the winner. You simply have a say.
    I'm happy with my choice but not the result. That's life.

    I voted Labour last time. Not because I wanted a Korbyn government, but because I wanted Johnson to be stuck in a minority government.

    Ahh you want a hung parliament again.

    My MP currently fits your criteria.

    Hey, they had to find a way to sort out the mess they created with IR35!

    Getting cheaper labour from India look like an easy way out!

    Don't think I said that at all.

    Do you really think, after 20 years fighting IR35, I am pleased by Chapter 10 and its strengthening of Labour's worst ever piece of legislation?

    Perhaps remind yourself what Schiller said...
