There won't be any major defence cuts at all, not sure where you're getting that info from. They can't scrap most of the new procurements, like the
carriers, as the penalties of bailing out are more then the carriers themselves. Besides, the public won't support any defence cuts and anyone who
tries will be facing a major backlash. Not something a minority or slim-majority Government needs.
Same with the NHS. There will be cuts, but on the billions wasted by Labour on the reams of "managers" and other pen-pushers who are there to hit
"targets" rather than cure people.
Same with the Civil Service, which has doubled in size since Labour came to power.The Tories will slash and burn there.
Euro, under Cameron? Not bloody likely. This guy is as anti-EU as they come without going UKIP and if you think otherwise you don't know anything
about the man.
Oh, the "party system" as you put it, isn't even recognised by Parliament. Nor are whips and all the other baggage that goes with it. It exists
because we allow it to exist.
Chances are the Tories are going to get in and they'll do what they do everytime they inherit a huge pile of crap from Labour (anyone remember the
70's?). We actually had a huge budget surplus by the time Blair won in 1997, which he and Brown frittered away making sure they created a class of
useless, uneducated breeders that they supported with tax money in order to garnish their votes...
If it ends up a hung Parliament, there will likely be another election within a year. Our system doesn't do coalition Governments, thats for the
weaklings on the continent..
