I was just about to post the same thing! A hugely increased majority may serve to dilute out Francois, Redwood, Cash
etc. It will be interesting to see which way things will go. Will the government move further right or back towards the centre? I don't believe that Boris Johnson is really that right wing but is more a traditional Conservative somewhere between Thatcher and Major.
That said, place your bets on which of these will be first to go;
- Extra NHS funding/50k nurses
- 20k more police officers
- An Australian points based integration system
- Millions per week for science schools and apprentices
- Net zero on carbon by 2050
- No rise in income tax, VAT or national insurance
BTW, I voted for 'other' in the poll up there ^^^. Tactical vote for David Gauke. That went well!
