No - what you will get is stagnation - as in many parts of the EU where the democratic will of the people is being ignored due to proportional representation. Nobody gets a big enough majority to actually rule - so its always coalitions. Who stick to the establishment. The establishment never changes. Its a stalemate all the time as in there are not many fundamental changes. Here with our electoral system you get some actual change.
Nobody is trying to tell me this election changes nothing are they?
Do they think Corbyn or Boris it made no difference? Only the most hard-line conspiracy adherents think that surely. No. Here we got one version of two.
And now the Torys - or rather Boris - has a chance to do something half-decent. He has a mandate. He can be bolder than he dreamt now. Will he just throw money at the north to placate the problem of keeping his newly found voters? - or will he try out some real free-market conservative values instead? And if the latter what would that look like?
We're now allowed to have such thoughts.
Of course some people find this idea horrifying. For obvious reasons. It makes some people scared. And not surprisingly. It's not offering a 'catch-all' philosophy. It's saying at some level yes you might sink. But not if you're willing to do any kind of paid work. Or be available to if you could. If you can at least do that - you're in. But no - no complete drifters. Unless they win the charity of other people with their own money. We're not paying for those people. But so long as you work then you're OK. Its how come the conservative policy of hightening the level at which you start paying tax (ie that level going up) has been such a boon to the low paid. They love it it means more money for the same effort. Its socialist like that except you do have to do at least some work.
Who knows.
Corbyn didn't look too happy walking next to Boris did he? We're still having to put up with him at the despatch box preening away in his boring predictable way. He should be banned from public speaking for at least 6 months during which time he can do some serious introspection about the extent to which he has failed the people he was supposed to represent.
Some people are doing some "serious introspection" and very wise too

Get Brexit done’: Wealthy Tory donors buying EU citizenship for themselves, documents reveal
Cyprus ‘golden passport’ scheme can secure EU nationality for just €2m
An
investigation by Reuters found that past donors to the ruling party have applied for citizenship of the EU member state of Cyprus since the UK voted to Leave in 2016.
Cyprus offers a so-called “golden passport” scheme that allows investors to effectively buy EU citizenship if they spend around €2m (£1.7m) on property in the country – a trifling amount for Britain’s wealthiest.
Applicants for citizenship do not have to live in – or even visit – Cyprus to get the passport. Once secured a Cypriot passport gives the freedom to live, work and study in all 28, soon to be 27, EU member states – just as a British passport currently does ahead of Brexit.
Reuters said Cypriot government documents show Tory donors including Alan Howard, a top hedge-fund manager, and Jeremy Isaacs, a former Lehman Brothers chief, applied for citizenship – and that Cyprus’s interior ministry recommended the applications be approved.
Electoral Commission figures show Mr Howard donated at least £129,000 to the Tories personally and through his company between 2005 and 2009.
Guy Verhofstadt, the European parliament’s Brexit coordinator, commented: “Conservative party donors, backing Brexit but at the same time seeking EU citizenship via Cyprus. Pardon my French but ordinary British citizens are being screwed over by their elite.”
As usual Tory voters have been mugged by their "betters" and even some Labour supporters too!
