Why a year?

Are you hoping by then that the Conservatives will be in power, and will then be able to say, well at least we tried (for a year,) and the inevitable closures will go ahead regardless, because people of this country have chosen to take their business elsewhere?

It's so much easier being in opposition, and not having to think about the reality of a problem, and it's long term solution.
No I doubt they will be in within a year. A year because profits are released yearly, they need to know what its like all year round so that the results are not skewed by seasonal events.

I'm proposing this because I believe we should be at least making an effort. I know you think I'm doing it to gain one up on Labour, and that's the stick I'll have to take for being a member of a political party, but I simply don't see the point in dumping it, writing the other options off without trying them.
