Can you find me a single post in these forums in which I've urged anyone to vote Tory or even singled out one of their policies as being a vote winner? If not, I can't be much of a Tory can I?  I've made this point a number of times in this forum and will repeat it just for you - I'm no Tory and find the notion of being 'stuck' to the ideaology of one party a nonsense in this day and age. I am, however, very much a New Labour hater, having been badly let down ever since I voted for them in 1997. I've voted for all 3 parties over the years and the Lib Dems would be more likely to get my vote this time around if they were just clear and open about this. |
My apologies but you are asking for the one thing from the Lib Dems many Tories will then use against them.
Another way of looking at it would be if you were the supplier of drills but can only afford to produce one type of drill bit. You have a preference for one that deals with metal but the best chance of getting an order could be with someone needing a wood drill or a masonry drill. Would you then insist on only producing metal bits which could lose you all orders. Or would you keep quiet about your drill bits and still sell the drills.

No point at all. Indeed it actually further discriminates against whichever partner does not receive this. As, if the person in receipt of this massive £150 goes off and marries someone else they keep this money where the partner left behind gets nothing. At least Child Tax Credit is paid to the main carer of the children.
