so what you’re saying is that because politicians are so bad people just try to protect themselves by voting for whoever they perceive as doing more ‘for them’, because they feel that a vote for the ‘greater good’ is just a waste of time.
Isn’t that kind of the point? That too many people have been indoctrinated, socialised, educated and basically steamrollered into believing that striving to have more than your neighbour is the ultimate life goal?
I am not saying your views are wrong, rather that they are underpinned by everything that you are told to think by certain political factions. Look at the media- we lost all sense of balance a long time ago- either main party could advocate killing baby seals at 5pm every day and their media supporters would justify it. There’s no balance anywhere, just lies
There is zero evidence they would
People generally put policies first that impact their own lives and basic securities - most only see interested in politics bear elections. They have little real interest in policies and generally have little faith politicians will deliver them anyway - again you are trying to bring people up to what you believe are superior behaviours
Most wont and don’t
Interesting this.You can buy a house not too far from me for less than 40k. But people still rent. Why is this?
How about what would happen if these landlords didn't buy properties to rent out. Where would those who can't buy live?
No I’m saying the labour strategy is wrong. You see it on here - the membership are trying to force concepts down the wider publics throat and then blame everyone else for when it all falls over - it’s laughable
It was the easiest campaign for the Tories to win
Any business would look at the most successful period in its history as ways to recover - not try and airbrush then from history
Great, but he's a bellend with no real skills and a decent but not really amazing salaryHe still earns more than me I think

So in two sentences you say "people generally put policies first that impact their own lives and securities" then a few words later "they have little real interest in policies".
I think you're right on the latter sentence. They don't. As I've already said it's soundbites and slogans. If they put policies that impact their own lives and securities they wouldn't be voting for a party that consistently reduces funding to things like healthcare and police.
But thanks for agreeing that I'm trying to bring people UP to superior behaviours rather DOWN to their most base selfish ones.
Interesting this.
Talking to one of my brothers and some friends in UK (1 in Brum, rest in London) who have seriously realized how much work can be done from home and are looking at the merits of relocating (particularly northwards) due to the cost of housing (and the rent/mortgages they are currently paying).
Grenners is comedy gold.So I guess things like the tea and cotton industries should look to bring back slavery then?

You can see there are a couple big things most are interested in stability and security most are not interested in schemes such as nationalisation, free internet places on boards for individuals - it’s will I pay more or less tax will my life be enhanced or not and that’s it
Key point this.Members of parties are not the general public

Again exactly the absurd mindset labour has and why you’ll forever be second in a two horse race
What the fuck are you talking about? You said as business should look to it's best performance as a means to recover not airbrush them from history.
The tea and cotton industries were most profitable at the time it used slave labour. But they kind of keep quiet about that and airbrush it out don't they.
And I'm not labour.
No need to give me a lecture about something obvious.They tend to lower taxes mostly for the already well off or big business. Like the Republicans in the US when they speak of tax cuts generally it’s not tax cuts for Joe Bloggs. They can’t run on what they actually believe as nobody would vote for it so they have to use rhetorical tricks to get people to vote against their own self interest. They want socialism for the rich and rugged individualism for everyone else.
People need reminding that we already get a lot of ‘free stuff’ in the form of schooling up to the age of 18, healthcare for life, rubbish collection, fire and rescue, policing and a social safety net. These things weren’t always a given and if those with small c conservative views always had their way we wouldn’t have them or if we did it would be the American version at best. The challenge for social democrats is to frame the narrative and dictate it so that this way of thinking is normal and being a Thatcher child is seen as odd.
He's basically Nigel from the devonshire arms.Bog standard pub bore.
What about those who don't/can't work? Do they not come I to the equation? Without private landlords many would be homeless.If the landlords didn't buy them as a business investment (thus giving them greater access to finance) pushing the prices up, properties would be more affordable and those that can't buy would be able to.
Yes, some people would choose to rent, possibly due to not having an intention to stay somewhere long and the hassle of going through buying property that you'd be looking to sell very soon anyway is more of an inconvenience. But there are loads of people who would love to buy and can't.
No need to give me a lecture about something obvious.
I was asked why I think so many people vote Tory. I replied tax cuts. They don't normally go into a GE promising tax going up to pay for what we need. They just say what people want to hear.

They didn't have to offer anything other than get Brexit done. The last time they offered a referendum if they got in. And we all know how that ended.They didn’t promise tax cuts did they?
Which one?Why do people even give that weirdo the time of day?
