LABOUR's plot for a 20-year rule must be stopped or Britain risks a generation of socialism, the Tories have warned.
Cabinet Minister Mark Harper this morning insisted Labour wants to manipulate the electoral system in their favour.
He urged voters not to "get it wrong" in this election.
It is the latest of a series of warnings over the prospect of Sir Keir Starmer enjoying "unchecked" power if the polls prove to be right on July 4.
The Tories argue Labour could stay in power for two decades if the party sweeps to a "supermajority" fuelled by Tory voters turning to Nigel Farage's Reform Party.

On the same day Reform launched its manifesto, a Tory spokesman said: “Labour are already planning to lower the voting age to 16, and we can expect votes for migrants, EU citizens and prisoners to follow.
“So a vote for Reform won’t mean five years of Labour, it would mean a generation. If you’re thinking about voting for Reform, and a generation under Labour scares you, there’s only one way to prevent it - vote Conservative.”
Reiterating the comments today, Mr Harper told Times Radio: “There are people out there who have serious concerns about what a Labour government will do, about how they will tax working people up and down the country and, of course, how if we get a Labour government they could be there for a very long time.
“Because of course they will change the voting system, they will make sure that they give votes to 16-year-olds, they have talked about giving votes to foreign nationals, to EU nationals… We could end up with a Labour government for 20 years if we get this wrong at this general election.
“That is why we are out there fighting for every single vote right up to polling day.”
Sir Keir has pledged to give voting rights to 16-year-olds but has ruled out extending the franchise to EU nationals and foreign nationals.
The Tories also claimed Labour would scrap inheritance tax exemptions for farmers who wanted to pass their land onto their children, warning that this could put Britain’s food security in danger.
They also attacked Labour’s position on council tax after two Shadow Cabinet Ministers contradicted themselves on it.
Jonathan Ashworth told Sky News that “we’re not doing council tax re-banding" but later Darren Jones, shadow chief secretary to the Treasury, said the party had “no plan” to change council tax rates.

Labour slammed the Tory claims as “a hysterical, desperate attempt from a Conservative campaign in chaos” to distract from holes in their tax cut plans.
