MODERATORS
The incumbent (Tory) party in the UK has included national service in their campaign leading up to next month's ~~federal~~ [edit: national] election.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c988jdxl02vo
Yeah the article mentions that. And it mentions some conservative newspapers here are supporting the UK tories. But is anybody seriously talking about it for here?
I hope not, but conservative bad ideas do seem highly contagious.
Sorry to be that guy but it's just too jarring to me
We don't have federal elections it's a general election.
Apologies, corrected to national. More importantly, how do you feel about the incumbent party in your country planning to introduce soft conscription?
I don't think conscription is really the way to go. Make people do a thing they don't want to do then hand them a gun makes me nervous.
Besides how is he paying for it pretty sure the military is one of those things they constantly want to make more "efficient"
