It's always the last resort of a dying govt. and it's fans to say the alternative would be worse (they may or may not be).

Smacks of 'we know we're crap, and haven't delivered and have no new ideas, so scaring the plebs is the best strategy'....... Think they'd have learnt from the last election that this tactic is less and less effective. People are feeling the effects of inflation, stagnant wages, collapsing public services and might feel they have little to lose.
