Sky are reporting if it were to happen at a general it would translate into a 338 Conservative majority:

494 Conservative
101 Labour
25 Lib Dem

Quite right yerself, this shower were elected on a platform of Whiter than White Government, the bigest load of thieving chisellers we've ever seen. Its never been the rich and famous that elected Tory Governmets, I have been a member of the party for 47 years and I was born in a two up two down terraced house to a hard working family.

I think what people really care about is what the Conservative party will do for them in 2010, rather than dwelling on the past.

But since it matters deepy to you:

• Child labour laws, brought in by a Conservative government.
• The National Health Service, treasured by every Conservative government since Labour established it. Things are no different with Cameron, he is committed to an NHS, wanting to remove the politics from it so it can run better than it is now.
• Universal sufferage, brought in by a Conservative government.
• Not sure what invalid income laws mean.

If you're going to attack them, and I suspect you would whatever they proposed, at least get your facts right.

It's not a dictatorship if they're voted in. Anyway that won't happen because by elections always have bigger swings so its not a brilliant measure of what sort of majority they'd have if the people ask them to govern.
