They clearly dont want it to even be close.
It is utter madness! Have they even considered some of the implications?

How does an 18 year old hold down any weekend job to pay for their education for the rest of the week if they have to volunteer one weekend in 4? Or are they all just meant to bolunteer for a year in a war zone (any pay/healthcare/pension for any injuries suffered?)

What is the impact on the economy by taking them out of it (let alone what the back of a cig packet estimated cost of 2.5billion could instead be spent on? Or on military readiness?

What hapoens if you are pregnant- do you get a deferment and if so how long for - who are you meant to leave your kid with?

Has Sunak got a really bad headcold from that downpour and is now on strong meds that is making him delirious?!
 
I don't buy in to the 'lesser of 2 evils' nonsense. A vote for the lesser of 2 evils is still a vote for evil. If you think this way you should vote for an Independant imo.

I don't know who else will be running in my ward but I won't be voting for red or blue Tories.

This is why the tories have been in power for 14 years though despite being an absolute disaster. Unless you are voting tactically to block a Tory win in your constituency, which is more likely going to be a vote for Liberal than an independent, then you'll eventually get a right wing party instead of a centre (soft left) one. I know which one I would prefer.

If you are hoping that other people throw the Tories out, what if they all think like you?

I had this conversation today. Bang on 👏🏻
 
It's overall not a good idea but the headlines are making it sound far worse than the detail contained within does.

It's based on 90% choosing the volunteering route, and those that want to go the military route would have to pass rigorous tests to be allowed in.

Plenty of sticks to beat them with, but it's nowhere near as extreme or mental as the headlines make out.
