I would probably vote Liberal Democrats. I feel like the Authortarian levels of Britain are at a scary high level.
I mean stuff we complain about in the patriot act is stuff that happens in the UK all the time.
Conservative is a close second though based on the "Key issues" i've read between the two so far. I'll keep you up to date on my "non" vote.
Also, what's up with the health care saying "It's for the people who need it not who can pay."?
I mean, you guys have universal healthcare. Is there some rampant discrimination against the poor? I mean, I know if your poor your MUCH more likely to die of random diseases in the UK but I thought that was just due to the fact that the poor usually have a worse lifestyle. |
hmm?
I think the NHS should always be a priority for the goverment, all the main parties support it.

They are saying it in a way that makes it sound like NHS discriminates against the poor. Both Conservative and Liberal Democrats say "Healthcare should be about who needs it not who could pay."
This would be analgous to someone saying "Black people should be allowed to vote" in the US. Black people already can vote... and have been able to for a while... why are you bringing this up? Are there black people who can't vote?"

oic, thats an interesting point, I never noticed it before actually.
so far as I know, none of them think you should have to pay.
it does seem odd language to use though, you are right.
