I understand their frustration and, having previously ignored the fuss over the NHS, I am now quite worried. I am getting more and more concerned that the Government is using the cover of a recession and 'updating the NHS' as an excuse to make ideologically driven cuts and to increase privatisation.

But this is a stupid idea. All they will do is spilt the vote and not from the Tories. Most of their voters will likely come from either Labour or the Lib Dems, if they stood in swing seats then they may actually be a massive electoral gift to the tories.
