George Osborne and David Cameron launch the draft health manifesto

[jmwren01]

Im pretty sure it is blue and white behind him!

[chrisburke52]

So he lied! My Uncle Jimmy always said, "You cant trust them".

[sparkyauris]

I Like The poster, shows that david cameron will do anything to cover up himself.

[davedeerave]

Cameron and Osbourne said they WOULD HAVE LET THE BANKS GO UNDER! Wed be like GREECE now. Vote for whoever has the best chance of keeping them out. THE RISK IS TOO BIG!

[SirOneoneselfandone]

@davedeerave no we wouldnt

[cassandracomplex1]

do not vote tory. david cameron is related to the queen!!!

[CharmingLordSausage]

I wonder if Kirsty Allsop is still Cameron's advisor on housing? Anyone know?

[porbello9]

For gods sake dont let the little lord fauntleroy's back in charge, ozbourne could not run a piss up in a brewery

[kenfig]

Oh my God dont let these cold blooded psychos in ; things have been bad but not half as bad as what these Toffs will do to us !!

[ThePAULOPABLO]

Labour supporters are foul mouth thugs who would not know education if it hit them in the face.

[ThePAULOPABLO]

Labour are already imposing 10% cuts on public services but as always are being a bit two faced about it

[bc1050]

"perhaps you could start by getting educated in economics:

start by studying the great depression and see what the failure to support banks and economies did to people in those days!

Thanks god we have people like Bernanke and Brown in charge.........Cameron and co are just simply way out of their depth right now!

[bc1050]

The Tories are the party of change! Hahaha......they cant even think up an original slogan without copying Obama!!

They only "change" they know is changing their minds and policy every couple of days!!!

Is it any wonder that as the election gets closer and people start to look at Dave the salesman in closer the Tories start to drop in the polls?

[charlesfisher757]

@bc1050 Actually the tories coined the 'change' slogan in 2005 (when cameron was elected leader) - 2 years before Obama even started his campaign.

[ThePAULOPABLO]

If Gordon Brown did not waste money on useless faILED BANKS WE WOULD NOT NEED CUT'S IN THE FIRST PLACE AND lABOUR ARE ALREADY STARTING CUTS AND PROMISED CUTS AS WELL .

[bc1050]

God help us if these two silver spooned, public school retrobates ever get into government..............what the **** do you learn abot running a country and its people being brougt up in such a priveliged and unchallenged way?

Brown is heads and shoulders above these guys

[ThePAULOPABLO]

What like Bl;air, Alastair darling and the other New Labour Toffs

[middleclassnews]

Tories, Liberals, Labour : 1 party with 3 different branches.

[StellaPolaris07]

If cameron gets in and starts cuts like they have in Ireland there will probably be a revolution. I can see it will be cuts in services for the poor and tax cuts for the rich, The Hooray Henrys will make life Hell.

[ZeusZol0]

To be honest i do not want Brown Or Cameron as PM of my country after may 6th.

[mulefa]

Yea tell us what you discussed at the Bilderberg group. I dare you Rothschild puppet

[zzzoe11]

He refuses to awnser questions about policy

Lives in an Eton school universe

The only tax cut he wants is for the very wealthy

He is an expense cheat and flipper.

He was wrong on the recession

He wants to make massive cuts; wrecking the recovery.

Do YOU want to RISK this Man.....?

[Mickmars90]

My word have you been programmed by the Labour Party to repeat this rubbish? The problem with Labour Party members is that they have no independent thought process. They cannot evaluate and conclude. They are spoonfed like a child and then repeat like a child.

I just say one more thing... it is nonsense to suggest that cutting spending in a recession will wreck a recovery. It was disproved by President Harding when he cut spending by 50% in the 1921 depression.

[Mickmars90]

The 1921 depression lasted for one year, and its peak to trough cycle was as severe as the great depression. Harding cut taxes at all levels, cut the size of government by 33% and slashed spending by 50%. The recovery was the strongest in American history, leading to the 'Roaring Twenties.' Unemployment was a mere 1.9%, compared to a Depression level that never fell below 14% despite massive fiscal and monetary stimulii.

Do some research you silly girl.

[StellaPolaris07]

Hey they were the good old days, until that other little depression in 1929.

[Mickmars90]

That little depression was caused by government e.g. Hoover being a protectionist freak and turning an ordinary cyclical downturn into a full blown recession through Smoot-Hawley etc.

Hoover increased federal spending and it didn't alleviate a depression. FDR increased it by 106% and made it worse. America cut its deficit from 21.6% to a surplus of 1.9% between 1945-47 and experienced a post war boom

[MrGordongecko2007]

Yes...better than that unqualified idiot Darling.

[DeludedPerryfan1980]

@zzzoe11 tory refused to answer the questions because there is no new policy.

[SurfariSam]

I saw that very same poster, in Exeter at the weekend, with a pair of fangs painted on.......... and very realistic it was too!

[Rob161092]

Lol I think this was the biggest flop in history for campaigns!!! Airbrushed for Change lol

hes a dick and no one can trust him, Dont vote for a Conservative who will CUT the right to see a cancer specialist within 2weeks..............What did u say Cameron oh yer "Ill cut the NHS"

[ThePAULOPABLO]

Labour put people onto new benifits unemployment is higher than ever. Incapacity benefits are not on the unemployment stats. Some people are so stupid and just believe anything there told.

[Miryam050]

Lol - what skool did u go to Paul/Pablo? U need to bi a dixionary.

[ThePAULOPABLO]

@Miryam050 This from someone who says skool when it's School. You also use the word bi which means two in Latin, when I think you mean buy. The word is dictionary not dixionary. Obviously someone who went to school under Labour. Which I did not I left school at 18 in 1997 just before Labour came to power then studied for a BA and then an MA.

[Miryam050]

Lol @ ThePAUL - No shit! I think you are missing the sarcasm matey. Get yourself a sense of humour before you embarrass yourself any furrther on YouTube. Typical snot nose Tory Pillock.

[ThePAULOPABLO]

A decent tory government will keep scum like you in jail were you belong.

[ThePAULOPABLO]

At least David Cameron does not filter everyone who puts a negative comment on there website like Labour does. Maybe it's scared of people telling the truth about how useless they are.

[MrCinealta]

Why do all the Tories look and sound the same?

I suppose that is what happens when your part reptile.

[StellaPolaris07]

Hey MrCinealta - what have reptiles done to deserve that slur? Apart from those horrible crocs and "dragons" that eat cattle, reptiles are OK!

[MrCinealta]

@StellaPolaris07

Good point

[NewLabour1]

What went so wrong with this campaign!

Watch "Airbrushed for Change"

[Peepholecircus]

Enough with you people, Cameron, Brown, Osborne ect. GO AWAY.

You and the people before you have done NO GOOD AT ALL.

Labour and Conservative are on their way out.

[steps1]

The sooner Cameron's our Prime Minister, the better..you'd have to be wrong in the head to vote for Brown and Labour..once agin they've brought the country to its knees..just as in 51 and 79..and it will be left to the Tories to clean up the horrific mess

[MrCinealta]

@steps1

er hello?

Do you mean clean up the mess by chronic under funding of the NHS? putting over 3 million on the dole? Disintegration of communities so that we are still dealing with the fallout 2 decades later?

or did you manage to buy your council house and a 4X4 with personalised number plate so that made it all right?

[steps1]

No i mean that in 1979 Thatcher took over a basket case of a country..the Sick Man of Europe, Callaghan threatening to declare State of Emergency, we'd been to the IMF with our begging bowls..the country in the grip of the Unions..Rubbish on the streets..the dead remaining unburied...thank god Thatcher turned that all around.

I want to know why with every single Labour government since 1935 unemployment has always been higher when they've left office than when they came in..staggering!

[FirebirdKnight]

@steps1 lack of investment in the unemployed I've been in and out of work during both Tory and Labour government I wouldn't say either of them where any better than the other at least in terms of helping the unemployed.

[steps1]

With you having experienced it then you are more of an authority with regard to help provided..I wasn't really talking about that though..I'm just staggered that with every single Labour government since the war unemployment has always been higher when they've passed over to the Conservatives than when they came to Office.

[SurfariSam]

steps1. You appear to have political confusion. 1935 was a Conservative government re-elected with a reduced majority.

[steps1]

1931 - 1935 was a "National Government"..a coalition between Labour and Conservatives led by the Labour leader Ramsey Macdonald

[SurfariSam]

steps1. WHAT? A Conservative and Labour coalition! It was a coalition between Conservative and Liberal parties.

How about commenting on this video instead and explaining what giving the NHS back to the people actually means?

[steps1]

A coalition between Cons and Libs led by a LABOUR Prime Minister..!!!???

[SurfariSam]

steps1. Ramsey McDonald had already crossed the floor of the house. He wasn't a Labour Prime Minister.

This, like your comments about Labour, is all in the past. I really did hope that, as an avid supporter of Tango man, you could give an informative reply to 'what giving the NHS back to the people' actually does mean.

[FlorrieLindley]

I remember when Thatcher got in and one of her slogans was "Labour Isn't Working" accompanied by a pictuire of a long queue representing people queuing for dole. Then when she got in she upped the number of unemployed from 500,000 to over 3 million. Do we need more of that type of government? No thank you.

[steps1]

sorry..what was the unemployment level when Thatcher took over? 500,000? Do bear in mind that with every single LABOUR government since the war unemployment has always been HIGHER when they left office than when they came in..a quite staggering statistic!

[FlorrieLindley]

Not quite as staggering as 3m plus. Were you around in the 80s? I was and I remember it well. The decade of greed for some and homelessness and poverty for others. Not too different from life under NEW Labour but then Blair was Thatcher's favourite heir wasn't he? VOTE LIB DEM! Change FOR THE BETTER not for the WORSE.

[steps1]

I mean I'm sure you'd have the good grace to remember how horrific life was in the 70s and that unemployment rising initially under Thatcher was due to the horrific circumstances the Tories took over in..you know don't you..sick man of Europe..the dead remaining unburied..having to go to the IMF with our begging bowls..vote Lib Dem? I'm not so sure people want the poor man's David Cameron

[SurfariSam]

I'm not so sure people want the rich man's David Cameron either, steps1.

Did you notice that unemployment went down today? Of course, you won't be commenting on that as it's not in the past.

[steps1]

I did..according to the BBC it's due to the fact that flexible employment laws has allowed more people to keep on staff as well as the fact that 90,000 odd people are now working part-time..still working but not as earning as much..still considering that we're the only country still in recession one would like to think that we would have some good news..but you have to admit Gordon Brown saying we were "best placed" was simply ludicrous..we're on our knees with debt debt debt and more debt

[MrCinealta]

This is just plain wrong on so many levels.

Is this the best that is on offer?

Seriously?

We are fucked.

Same old Tories - all they will do is fleece the public to help line the pockets of their fat cat chums. if you believe anything this lot tells you, then you are a mug.

[bydickens]

They even lack the imagination to make their empty words sound convincing.

[instantface]

@justtakeiteasy I'm not sure why he didn't at least try and explain it, but it seems to be generally recognised that the electorate doesn't do detail, e.g. Tory IHT plans actually benefit people with assets between £300k and £1mil the most - Not the 3000 wealthiest people in the country as Gordon Brown claims.

You are simply wrong that "there is a lot of money in politics". May be media roles, books etc. after retirement but not as Tory leader or Prime Minister...

[instantface]

@justtakeiteasy I'm being ignorant!! Ummm. Did you read my original post?! There's NOT a lot of money to be gained from a career in politics! People who want to become very rich DO NOT go into politics...

On the referendum. You probably don't understand the intricacies of why it can't be held. The treaty has been RATIFIED. There would be no point in holding a referendum now. It would have to be on in or out of the EU. Please study some political history - you would understand why Labour suck

[instantface]

@justtakeiteasy No one who wants to earn a lot of money goes into politics. I'm sure a man of Cameron's ability (a first in PPE from Oxford etc...) would have earned a lot more in just about any other profession.

Also, I notice you making multiple comments about his poster photo being airbrushed. I cannot believe how desperate Labour and its supporters! They now have to resort to pointing out that a photo may have been photoshopped... Welcome to the 21st century Labour!

[lowestoftbus]

HA HA LOL 100% true

[Murmeration]

It will be a bad day indeed when and if Mr Airbrush becomes PM. I wonder if he will keep the good things NL have brought in - child and working tax credits,winter fuel -payments for the elderly and min wage. Whoever gets in should start a massive house building project. No first world country should have people sleeping rough.

[SurfariSam]

It is a shame that people have short memories of a Conservative government. Perhaps they would prefer interest rates at 15%, reintroducing the community charge and being told to get on their bikes to find work. The present low interest rates, under Labour, are allowing many more families to stay in their homes and Gordon Brown's policies have, at least, tried to avert a catastrophic depression UK. On past form would the Conservatives done the same?

[AmandaMutton]

Do a youtoobe search for

"The Ballad Of Gordon Brown"

[simonsigns]

Doesn't seem to matter about people loosing their homes or the country being a trillion quid in debt so long as the scroungers get a free 'Flash Gordon laptop' and broadband paid for by us so they can stay in bed surfing the net all day.

another £300m the country cannot afford to buy a few voters.

everything for scroungers and nothing for hard working people.

[SurfariSam]

David Cameron was very depressed after P.M.s question time, so he jumped off his bike and was threatening to set himself on fire.

Two passers by heard this and started a collection for both him and the whole of the Conservative party.

One asked the other "How much have we got so far?"

The other replied, "About forty gallons, but a lot of people are still siphoning."

[Murmeration]

Surfari - I am sure his chauffeur who travels in the limo behind him would rush to his aid.

[MoonBunny420]

Referendum on the Lisbon treaty or get lost!

[steps1]

Labour are in disarray..Brown said that spending would rise..now Darling has said we'll have the worse CUTS for a long time..who's telling the truth? Have the PM and the Chancellor met each other?

[freatork1]

Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Managing Director, International Monetary Fund:

"Today, the storm has passed. The worst has been averted. Thanks to a bold and rapid policy response, delivered in an atmosphere of unprecedented policy cooperation, global economic activity is rising again...I want to pay tribute to the United Kingdom... We all owe a debt of gratitude to Gordon Brown and his team."

David Cameron:

"People.. want to know politicians are on their side-not the other side of the world."

[freatork1]

"I'll cut the deficit.."

Simplistic statements like that are empty if he wouldn't have been on "the other side of the world" doing what was necessary to get "global economic activity is rising again." Thank your lucky stars that these lightweights weren't in power when the global crisis came along.

I mean, look at his statement:

"People.. want to know politicians are on their side-not the other side of the world."

SOD the consequences of his inaction, getting VOTES is his ONLY concern.

[steps1]

@freatork1

"getting VOTES is his ONLY concern"

I can't believe you've brought up the botched 2007 election when Brown lied to the country and said that the reason he had bottled the election was nothing to do with the polls-well that has been sensationally blown out of the water in the Papers today!what a ditherer Brown is..it's all come out &Brown comes out of it horribly, basically reinforcing what everyone thinks of him. Brown will cripple this country if it means he can hold on to power

[soapsfans]

i hope the Conservative party wins.

i hope The Labour Party does not win

[lowestoftbus]

Isnt the most blatantly obvious statement ever!

[TheMrbollox]

tory scum

[lowestoftbus]

To true well said :)

[freatork1]

The Conservative Party STARVED the NHS of funds when they were in Government. The Labour Party didn't just ring-fence Conservative levels of investment when they came to office, they TREBLED it. and achieved significant results. Yet this FRAUD has the nerve to declare that "we cannot go on like this". He's pushing an empty slogan.

[steps1]

We simply can't go on like this. He's so right..even Labour MPs recognise that we can't go on like this..that's why they tried to get rid of Brown but they didn't have the guts..Labour and Brown couldn't care less about the country..that's why we're crippled financially..they are just fighting amongst themselves desperately trying to cling on to power

[freatork1]

"We simply can't go on like this. He's so right.."

Labour have TREBLED the level of investment of the last Conservative Government.

As a result, there are over40,000 more doctors and over 83,000 more nurses working in 100 new hospitals.

Mortality rates for cancer alone has fell by 18%. Ask that 18% if they're disappointed because the NHS was a "giant machine responding to politicians and managers."

You couldn't spot a bu!!$hitter if he had it tattooed on his forehead.

[tommatdan]

Is it just me or did he forget to mention where the huge amount of money necessary to "cut the deficit" and improve the NHS is going to come from. (especially with tax revenue lower than usual)

if the Tories get in to power they will have to decide whether to go back on their promise, implement a huge tax hike or slash another part of the public sector - education perhaps ?

VOTE LABOUR

[steps1]

erm & how will Labour do that exactly then? We're on our knees economically thanks to the incompetence of Brown&Labour!it would be nice not to have the threat of our credit rating being decreased!it would be nice not to have a monstrous deficit!it would be nice not to have TRILLIONS of debt!it would be nice not to (along with future generations) have to face paying off this debt for countless years to come!Brown said he had ended boom and bust-oh dear what a fool!the sooner he's out, the better

[freatork1]

"Brown said he had ended boom and bust-oh dear..."

He did end "Tory boom and bust."

Before the GLOBAL recession reached these shores, Britain had it's longest continuous run of economic growth on record.

We can either go back to the stability we had before the global recession came along, or change back to Tory boom and bust.

[steps1]

Global? Did your comment start in America too? I just have a slight problem with the fact that America, France and Germany are no longer in RECESSION and we are..strange!

Why do you perversely insist he said he would end "Tory boom and bust"? HE DIDN'T..he boasted about ending boom and bust and he's ended all boom and given us the WORST BUST EVER!

I asked you before when did this continuous run of economic growth begin and you've still not answered..do you not know your politics?

[freatork1]

steps1... You ask "global?" GET REAL.

You seem to want to credit the Conservative Party for avoiding boom and bust and maintaining continuous steady growth since 1997 simply because the economy wasn't shrinking at that point in time. Again, GET REAL.

[steps1]

I'm not sure your post makes sense..anyway I just think it's a bit unfair that when Labour handed over in 1979 we were on our knees economically..we were the Sick Man of Europe and the IMF had had to bail us out..in 1997 when the Tories handed over to Labour it was a golden economy with 6 years of growth, low inflation, low unemployment..now in 2010 if the Tories win they are going to have to clear up another horrific mess left by Labour..that's just not fair..Labour hasn't worked..again!

[freatork1]

When Labour were elected in 1997, there hadn't just been a GLOBAL recession following a global banking crisis. But at THIS point in time, there has.

By comparing how things were/are at these two fixed points in time (97 and now) you airbrush out two BRITISH recessions under the last Conservative Government and the longest continuous run of economic growth on record with this Labour government.

[instantface]

@freatork1 - This must be some kind of Labour propaganda account. Even my Labrador could tell you that the government has crippled Britain's economy!

We have the highest budget deficit out of any of the major European powers. Ours is on a similar level to that of Greece, who recently had its credit rating downgraded!

Labour have bankrupted Britain, just as in the 70s and the 50s. Once again the Tories will have to repair this mess!

[instantface]

Can you PLEASE stop spamming all Conservative videos with your moronic Labour propaganda!?!

Don't you have anything better to do with your time?

[steps1]

I think he's secretly obsessed with Cameron..It's all very sad and I feel a tad sorry for him.

[lowestoftbus]

How can labour be blamed for the fault of Wall street in America. If we did not bail the banks about the country would have been in an even deeper rut because the banks are the economy. The point is this problem is not going to get sorted with a click of the fingers it takes time. Other countries are out of recession because of the strong manufacturing e.g Canda has tin and Germany has cars. What do we have? financial services and a hand full of factories.

[PO0917]

Some days ago I had an argument about a video of UKIP, what an unobjective discussion. What a serious and relyable policy compared with that UKIP-nonsens.

I think the Conservatives could be a good example for other conservative parties in europe, espacially in questions of environment and health care.

Good luck for general election!

Greetings from Germany

[danielhewson]

David Cameron and co are so keen to woo ethnic minorities and women to stand, well why doesn't he try wooing comprehensive educated people to become MP's and not just public school types

[steps1]

what you mean like William Hague? Or the past two Conservative Prime Ministers Major and Thatcher? I mean i take it you knew that over the course of the last 40 years or so the Tories have predominantly been led by state-educated leaders..and it is LABOUR who have been led by the TOFFS..they've had more PUBLIC-SCHOOL leaders! Tony Blair went to the Scottish Eton! Still i'm sure you knew that...arf arf!

[danielhewson]

@steps1 Of course I knew all that, I'm talking about the Tory party as it stands now. David Cameron has erased almost all mention of his team's public school backgrounds from their official biographies, he wouldn't need to do that if he had more comprehensive MP's. Are you against my idea and for airbrushing?

[steps1]

To be honest I couldn't care less where they went to school..why are you bothered about that? Hague and Pickles went to state schools..Cameron and Osborne did not..big deal. My point is that there are just as many toffs in the Labour Party..and surely that should be more of a problem to you considering the pretence that Labour are "for the people"..Millions of Labour supporters voted in Blair three times and he went to the SCOTTISH VERSION OF ETON..so what? The class war is over.

[danielhewson]

I don't doubt there are loads of toffs in labour and I wouldn't be bothered if it wasn't for the fact the conservatives are trying desperately to bring in women and ethnic minorities to look good all I suggested is that instead the might demonstrate their diversity by bringing in more comprehensively educated people,

[steps1]

I'm pretty sure neither of us know the exact educational backgroud of all Tory MPs / prospective Tory candidates but rest assured i'm sure if the Tories win there will be plenty of MPs who have been state-educated..I just hope we won't see Cameron photographed with the female MPs unlike the whole Blair's Babes nonsense

[perfacetus]

The thing with the NHS is that it can never have enough money. Allow me to explain:

say you have a 89 year old who has a serious condition. Now there will always be some new treatment out that costs £10,000 per week and gives an extra 10% chance the person will live another 2 years.

No obviously from an economic point of view that is a dire idea, but strangely if you were the one dying you would still want to give it a shot.

Having said that, the NHS is awesome. I wouldn't trade it.

[Oopscymru]

National Healthcare? Private Healthcare?

the only option for Great Britian is the NHS (improved) with the additional real Private option.

[SataiWarp]

McCain should've taught you, that if you run as a copy of the socialists, the people will choose the real socialists and not you. Preserving your socialist healthcare isn't change.

[ch1138]

I notice you are from Poland, do you have a healthcare system?

I have a Polish friend at my University who told me a story, that he saw a woman carrying her child and begged a doctor to help him, but he replied with "No, I have already had breakfast and that money is not enough for dinner so go away".

Now you tell me, is it better to have a healthcare system, that is always there, or to die knowing no one cares?

Until you actually have a healthcare system, you cannot comment on ours.

[Altxandr]

This branch always was problem. In it it is constantly necessary to pour in money, and result zero. The question needs to be put differently. We want to improve and understand these problems, but the decision of this complex decision, depends on many parameters of economy. The strong state in economy can solve this problem. But in crisis......

[WillSKB88]

Haha listen to 2:19 to 2:22 sounds like he's saying "resonate with the rich people"...

... subliminal messaging perhaps? Maybe it was Freudian? Maybe I'm just being an arse.

[GilesGame]

"...resonate with the British people". Granted, "...with the rich..." is the better fit with "class warfare" but that may also be an illusion. I shall say no more.

[MrGordongecko2007]

@WillSKB88 Labour have been supporting the bankers for decades...they got us into this mess!!! They are in dissaray...Im not saying the tories are the solution but labour are def the problem.

[WillSKB88]

I don't mean to sound rude, and apologies if you did do the following but did you actually watch the videa, because clearly "Does that sound like equality to you?" is answered. I don't want to argue the veracity of that claim, but the video does state it loud and clear.

[skodas]

Labour are the party of no stubstance

not us

[tdp1909]

I think that the fact the NHS is unique shows a fault in itself - no other country has it's Health Service as such a large nationalised bureaucracy. The only two organisations *Worldwide* that employ more staff are the Chinese Army & the Indian Railways.

David Cameron's doing the right thing in having it as the Conservatives central policy. However, I think long term the only solution is the internal market or similar - public money, private management.

Sacred cows are unique for a reason...

[ch1138]

Privatising the NHS will create an another American, over priced failure. The NHS is always there, the only difference is time. They are not going to let you die and drawing upon the few times where people have died because of NHS policy, that policy has always been changed.

Thank you conservatives for making NHS a priority and not suggesting that you privates the NHS.

[TheBritishWatcher]

Agreed, the NHS must be protected and privatising the NHS would be a huge mistake. Its not something this country wants.

[NuttyNadim]

It's more blue than black and white but he has the point! Go Conservatives!

[minteko]

Privatise the NHS.

[NuttyNadim]

@minteko No No No

[minteko]

@NuttyNadim

but that's the only way to give us more choice and better standards..

[NuttyNadim]

@minteko It is not, the Conservatives know what they are doing and there is no need to privatise the NHS.

[minteko]

@NuttyNadim... Conservatives have always wanted to privatise the NHS. It's good for the economy and eases the tax burden on the public. The private sector is the only way to go if you want improved standards and have more choice for the consumer.

[NuttyNadim]

@minteko Privatisation isn't always the best solution to the problem the NHS is facing at the moment. A conservative government can help to bring standards up and ensure good quality health care. If there was no tax then you may end up paying for health insurance and face problems that the US have been facing

[jpezzaa]

What a load of bull. If that were to happen, a) the Conservative party would be contradicting themselves ('Party of the NHS'...), and b) would confirm that the party itself is as selfish, superficial and stupid as they philosophically are!

[TheBritishWatcher]

We do not need to create some awful private healthcare system to drive up standards and improve choice.
