So, let's pretend for a second that you are right about everything and I am sadly misinformed, uneducated and, as you say, "blind" to these things.
When someone notices and calls out something that is completely in line with your point of view, and arguably out of kilter with their usual political leaning, your reaction is to try and condescend that person and tell them it's beyond comprehension how they could be so blind to it?
Not - take the opportunity to explain, respectfully and politely, how this is is in fact not defendable and rather it, for you, confirms your general feeling towards the current party and was something you had long suspected of happening. Maybe add to the debate and other people's understanding and say what their excuse is or may be (which I'm not quite sure could be and is the reason I posted), and how your personal view (probably) is that that's bullshit and here are the reasons why.
I'm actually a swing voter and I vote based on what I think are the most material issues at the time and how they are represented in the manifesto and discussions. How ironic that if you actually wanted to make a make a difference and help to change the current landscape which you so clearly are not happy with, you might have more success by treating people with less disdain and generally being a bit less of a prick, but instead are much more interested in a cheap "i told you so" and being right (in your eyes), that you simply can't help yourself.
Cool, won't go writing any more threads to discuss any of it and won't respond on more - I didn't realise this was a "labour only" section and there's no space for discussion. Enjoy!
