But…for all the talk of the cost of living crisis, which is very real, there are plenty of people in England - loads and loads of people - who are well off, have plenty of cash and therefore don’t need to prioritise social issues. The fact is that if you have money (and it doesn’t need to be huge amounts) the Conservative party tend to be the party who let you keep most of it. It’s a horribly selfish and cynical way to think but it explains voting patterns I think. It’s easy to assume that everyone is skint and angry but actually, plenty of people are doing just fine thank you. Society generally need a more collective attitude. The Tories will never generate that or even try to Yep, far more interested in division to keep folk in their place, literally powerless to affect the distribution of wealth/prosperity.

I don't disagree with your last sentence. Because AV can produce even more extreme results in seat to vote than FPTP. For all the talk about the crossbench in the Aussie election, 90% of seats went to Labor or Liberal with a combined first preference vote of around 67%. That is shite.

The Tories’ mindset is that if you’ve fallen on hard times, you should try doing what more successful people have done. That basically, they’ve worked hard and you haven’t and if people weren’t feckless, they wouldn’t get into difficulties. So tough luck. Sometimes I think that’s just their attitude, sometimes I think it’s a deliberate way of looking after their rich mates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Thor Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Hat Mancock former minister for death and PPE corruption was getting rinsed earlier on LBC for spouting shite about Johnson 'delivering' on things like Brexit and er Brexit. His rationale for Johnson staying was he's the only man to get them through the next election otherwise its going to be the 'coalition of chaos' between Starmer and Sturgeon. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
