I hope the Torys don't win by the landslide expected and that they are tempered in Parliament by a decent amount of MPs from other parties, and not just the SNP as they couldn't give a rats ass about anyone else only themselves.

I think the Tory's have to win as I can't see anyone else being able to handle Brexit. let's face it Labour is a total mess and a coalition with the SNP would be the SNP totally self serving.

But you are right, as a self employed person in the middle myself I can't argue that we are often the people who get screwed.
