Tomorrow, it is time to vote. And based on the opinion polls, it is going to be a victory for the Conservatives.
And while the Conservatives claim to make work pay, they do not. Unemployment has fallen. But in work poverty has increased under the Conservatives. As has child poverty. I am not one of those who faces such issues. I do understand this as I grew up in a single parent household with a working mother and two younger siblings having had free school meals at times. My mother worked hard to ensure that we could eat. And now, other parents, are trying to do the same, but this uncaring Conservative government is making things harder for such parents to feed their children.
How anyone can justify this is beyond me. I am of the view that a nation should be judged on how it treats those most in need. But I suspect that those who do vote Conservative tomorrow will find an excuse. And will ignore the despair of this group of society.
