Prorogation - Judgment Day:10.30am Tuesday 24/9/19

Ha, yes, admittedly we've been here before!

But I don't think they'd need to go anywhere near as centrist as Blair was to win now. Just compromise on some of the more extreme policies that will NEVER appeal to a broad section of voters.

May i ask, what are the Labour policies that are typical viewed as too radical for them to gain sufficient support?

Closing all private schools is one
Getting rid of Trident.
A 32 hour working week!
High Taxes on companies
Garden Tax
Scrap prescription charges
Free movement of people.
Right to buy - private housing tenants - aka theft.

Off the top of my head.

Crazy communist ideas to the vast majority and not going to work!

None of which are policies.

Where they not all promised at the Labour Party conference before it was cut short! I think they were.

In regards to private schools, there are practicly none in Belgium, it's practicly all funded by the goverment. In Belgian schools there is typically no requirement for a uniform though. When i see Britisch schools who tend to be private i guess they practicly always are uniformed? Why still hold to such an ancient thing like requiring pupils to wear (and pay for) a uniform?

Majority of schools are uniformed, regardless in the UK.

Gives kids a sense of identity and pride.

No, they were motions put to conference.

A manifesto may or may not include some or none of them because of events.

Does it REALLY?

If you'd hold a referendum among students in the UK, would they decide to do away with it you think? Or vote for it?

I'm asking because we Belgians don't wear school uniforms since like decades ago and everybody here seems to be of the idea "uniforms sucked".

And especially in terms of identity ... it's kinda conformist isn't it? Aka don't stand out?

Saves parents moves by not having to buy tonnes of clothes. It’s a very positive thing in my opinion.

I think there are some parents here of Britisch school children. Do they think it's convenient? I wager they might not, these things need to be washed so they often come with extra's and there is even variation for use?
