An NHS Conspiracy theory.

I love a good conspiracy theory, especially when there is a slim chance that it may be feasible. But last night, when all talk of football was banned for obvious reasons, a friend of mine came up with a rather interesting one about the NHS.

On Friday, James Johnson Chairman of the British Medical Association, claimed that there was only one year left to save the NHS. But, it has been widely tipped that Gordon Brown may call a snap election within that year.

The conspiracy theory is that Brown will call an election, and lose, the Tories gain power just in time for the NHS to fall apart, and as the Tories are in power they get the blame. Plus, whichever party is in power when the NHS collapses will never be forgiven by the electorate and face a very long spell on the opposition benches.

Now, I have to admit this is a bit far fetched, and was conceived over a beer or two, but in the cold light of day it does seem to have a hint of credibility.

Only time will tell.
