I would not for one second trust that they would alter their stance.(and I am not for taking the risk)

If you think I am being pessimistic, just wait and see what the stock markets do to our economy if Labour get in.
Watch money being wiped off shares. Watch businesses relocate to places where Labour cannot apply swingeing taxes...watch jobs disappear.
The rich will leave and the poor will get poorer. But one category of people who will feel none of the pinch will be those elected to be MP's. They already live in a different world to us.
Now you may think it is only the well off who worry about share markets...but many millions are invested to pay pensions.
Those that Labour consider to be rich will leave, the poor will still be poor and may get even poorer.
Schools and hospitals will be expected to cater for more and more immigrants(which JC thinks are good for the UK).
We will get the worst deal possible from the EU because they know that man will take ANY deal...even a bad one.
We will have all the bills that go with being IN the EU, but none of the say so(so not much change there then)just to keep the shrinking single market.
We will still have to abide by EU rules and you think this is pessimism?

I do not consider myself a pessimist. I consider myself to be a realist.
I have looked carefully at what my vote means, I do not give it lightly.
I am not a follower of any party, but I am one of those voters who votes with what is good for me and my family...and that is definitely NOT LABOUR!
