So.... not compulsory then? Or do you just get fined or something? Anyway, earliest policy U-turn of the Conservative campaign so far - will it be their best?

    Assuming all the older folks don't vote for this crap.

    Honestly I'm 53 myself. But many folks older then me are really keen on this. As they were required to do military service up to the 60s. And see it as having been beneficial. (Nostenga is one hell of a drug)

    And while I have never been a fan of the idea. (Our military dose not need ill motivated cannon fodder).

    Many my age do seem to thinkmits a good idea.

    So it may motivate many annoyed tory voters who have been distanced.

    Just like the disabled policies and immigration. The tories are basically picking on people that are less likely to vote tory. (The youth) and trying to launch a culture war with folks more likely to vote tory.

    So please, do not get to confident. The tories are good at this sort of crap. Do not count them out until they are dead.

    And please make every effort to convince your friend they need to vote.

    Now even safe seats are no longer safe. Voting for a non tory pole leader in normal tory safe seats. May well kick a tory MP to the kerb.

    EDIT: Do not count them out until they are dead.

    I just want to make sure no one reads that as a suggestion to kill a tory MP.

    While I may not cry if someone did. I want my rear end well and trully covered. So amnin no way recommending such actions.

    Seriosly just take thiere jobs on July 4th. Force them to prostitute themselves to the wealthy friends they have been supporting for the last 14 years. Those guys are pretty sick so justice will be served.
