It's going to have to be implemented in any event - regardless of who's in power. I suspect it'll be more than a year before it's done though.
Yes, but the consequences of implementing it quickly and doing it over 10 years are very different.

Day release on Sunday should stop. Triple pay for psychiatric nurses is damn worth it.
Mammy, get the hammer there's a fly on daddy's head.

It would be tantamount to a public declaration that our oppressors had so far succeeded in inoculating us with their perverted conceptions of justice and morality that we had finally decided to accept those conceptions as our own, and no longer needed an alien army to force them upon us.
A strike?
Yes, strikes, but the are inevitable. They will happen because of cuts, because we run out of money, or because we bring in the IMF, which are the only 3 outcomes we are looking at it.
We may as well just get on with it.
Negotiation with Unions has produced zip so far.
