if you live together and are common law , you can swear out an affadivat stating that and provide drivers license copies as proof you live at the same address . If you don ' t live together yet , you will need to go on the ownership also , but you ' re getting married so whats the big deal about having it registered to both of you ? <| sep |> I couldn ' t disagree more . Sure , it ' s a large lead but towards the end of the 90 s we were recovering from a small recession and the economy was growing at a healthy rate . Governments virtually always recover in popularity towards the end of their term . If Labour had run on a left wing platform with a left wing leader , the Tories would have pulled their socks up , united against us and won comfortably . If John Smith had been the leader we might have won but with a much narrower majority , maybe even a hung parliament . Blair had poll leads of up to 60 % yes , 60 % and even then he stressed the need for unity , discipline and coherence . Because the public can smell arrogance and hubris from a mile off . If we had declined from that 30 percent lead it would have caused a viscous circle . As we lost more potential voters the Tories would ' ve gained more momentum and would eventually have overtaken us .
