I don't seriously believe that the Conservatives plan to kill the NHS - not because they agree with it, but because to do so would be political suicide.
No, the problem is with politicians who mix with businessmen and number crunchers who believe that any institiution can be run on a 'for profit' model, with bonuses as incentives.
As anyone working for an organisation that works to this ethis - and I do - knows, this means that management minds are focused fairly and squarely on saving money as a priority, because that is what funds and increases their bonuses.
The fact that some organisations, and the NHS and utilities, as well as schools and universities stand as prime examples, are patently unsuited to this business model is a simple fact that politicans have a vested interest in failing to grasp.
For that reason, they continue to use this failed and failing mechanism, constantly hammering square pegs into round holes, with the fallout being uneducated citizens who are dying needlessly.
Until a government will accept that this method of running these institutions is utterly futile, and returns to the notion that health and education do not, and should not run like banks or manufacturing industries, or supermarket chains, the problems will continue to increase.
The first party leader who puts consumers - i.e. patients, and children, ahead of managers in terms of ethos and motivation, will receive my vote in the time it takes to write a cross on a ballot paper.
I am not optimistic, because too many business gurus are too hand-in-glove with too many politicians for the notion of doing right by the people of the country to have any meaningful incentive.
The motivation needs to be for moral good, and comfort, happiness and security for all - and where is the political or financial gain in that? There is none, so we carry on as we are.
Shame on all of them.
