Surely even the most staunch Labour supporters among you must be concerned at the level of office Abbott could potentially hold after that car crash of an interview? Even if anyone can make a mistake with the numbers a few weeks back, this one is completely embarrassing and actually a bit scary.
My granddad voted Labour blindly his entire life as the party of the working man, in fact I'm sure he still would if he was alive today, regardless of what they said or did. Today they are not the party of the working man imo, but represent scroungers and wasters. The Conservatives may be deemed nasty, but there really is no credible alternative that I resonate with on policy or even on an individual likable basis. Blair apart, then New Labour (Tory light) was probably the best choice for me, but as a tax paying middle earning worker with a family, I feel compelled to vote Conservative again this time around.
The scroungers and wasters as you put it are predominantly a product of Thatcherism, the Inner Cities
and suburban sink estates, mining communities, and smallish satellite towns built for proximity to large
Industrial cities. All these places only 30-35 years ago were thriving communities full of hard working
Proud families, they wouldn't earn a fortune but they would earn enough to keep their families and
Would socialise together in pubs, clubs and restaurants which in turn would fuel the economy.
These communities were betrayed and crushed, this resulted in the breakdown of the family unit and
Values, schools in such areas were chronicley under funded leading to hundreds of thousands of
Children leaving school without a basic education. For a community to truly work its people need to
Feel apart of something, what is a life if your life serves no purpose.
In truth the real Conservatives don't really believe that the likes of you and me should have a vote,
They tolerate it because they have to, but they control the media and press.
I know it could and would never happen, BUT if all media and press outlets were compelled to only
Report facts and truth, I genuinely believe the Tory party would struggle to finish 2nd in the GE.
