So our PM gets another four years.

He was once anti welfare state. Now he is promising all kinds of welfare benefits for all large groups of comparable well of people - retirees, families with children etc, instead of those who really need it - young people with low education level, refugees etc. All paid with the money made by getting 60000 more jobs the next four years (comparable to getting 3000000 more jobs in US) with absolutely no plan on how to get the jobs. ALL experts say it is not realistic.

We went into Iraq with US and a few other countries (remember Poland!) and presented with no evidence for WoMDs and no terrorist ties he changed the argument and said we went in because there was "an UN-like support for the invasion" whatever that means.

Well I could go on but at least my party almost doubled its votes, mostly based on its rejection of the governments anti-refugee and anti immigration laws, for its social freedom ideology and its rejection of more welfare benefits that only drains funds that could and should be used to the most needing groups. This is the leaders of the party with her hand bag

Yes the most modern party leader can look that dull ;)
