It’s crucial to vote Tory

IF THE country doesn’t support Theresa May and the Conservative party today, I fear we are doomed.

Brexit negotiations will be irrevocably damaged and we will become a laughing stock around the world.

Anyone considering voting Labour should remember Jeremy Corbyn’s weak views at the time of the EU referendum. Many of his own MPs have tried to get rid of him, yet voters are being asked to place their faith in him.

Instead of promises of a magic money tree, we should look at the cash being wasted in the NHS, on social welfare and education, and try living within our means instead of putting the country into greater debt or increasing taxes.

Remainers should think seriously about the consequences of tactical voting. Give the country the stability it needs in this gift of an early election by allowing the Conservative government to finish the job in hand.

A change of party or hung parliament will be disastrous at this crucial time. Keep up political lobbying and make your arguments for constructive change heard, but don’t trust that a vote for any other party is the answer to our problems.
