I know there's many of us (genuine) lefties on here, along with the recent "I vote Labour now despite my shameful tory past" revisionists - is anyone willing to out themselves as an open and proud current tory voter?
The polls say there's at least 30% ... don't be shy.

That's more damning of "them" than anything I've said in this thread. |
I'm not defending their views.
IF that "them" was a hint about my voting, you can look back and see I voted Labour. Genuinely can't remember if i've ever voted Tory. If I have it wasn't in the last decade at least. |  |

Yeah. Don't you jut hate it when somebody engages in a rinse/repeat/insult cycle with DK!
Labour with 9 point opinion poll lead by PassionNotAnger 14 Dec 2021 10:19It's probably because you are a one-record Juke box continually playing the same tune on repeat and not capable of changing track.
It's dull repetitive and reinforces the perception of the Cult of Corbyn.
Corbyn was unelectable for a variety of reasons - some outside of his control (media agenda etc) but the person he was/is most definitely was a contributing factor.
Arise Sir Keir by PassionNotAnger 31 Jan 2022 17:36Another rule of thumb is if anyone credits Starmer with anything positive you’ll be along to discredit it quicker than you can reach a box of tissues whilst watching a compilation of Jezza’s best bits.
Arise Sir Keir by PassionNotAnger 1 Feb 2022 10:50Yes - just like this thread which was praising Starmer for his speech but you've come in at a different angle and decided to criticise a publication based on how they treated your idol Corbyn.
Arise Sir Keir by PassionNotAnger 1 Feb 2022 11:07The thread was about Starmer you numpty - his name was even in the title - it's hardly me trying to make it about him was it??? - You were trying to take it off tangent as there was a few people praising him that is clearly something you aren't comfortable with
Arise Sir Keir by PassionNotAnger 1 Feb 2022 11:34If making a fool of yourself is a competition then I'll bow out now and leave it to you - you're a gold medal certainty. You'll also break you're own world (broken) record I'm sure.

Im affraid I am going to have to fail you on this post. Whilst you've shown an eagerness to do a little bit of self directed research you failed to provide adequate references. Please refer to https://www.citethemrightonline.com/ for future assignments. |  |

"Them" was a reference to your use of "They" in the post I was responding to - i.e. your reference to the tory voters I've invited to comment.
It was not a reference to your voting record. You are, in my experience, willing to openly state your views and to justify/ defend them. | | | |

I didn't, but people who don't really follow politics and see themselves as broadly conservative (i.e. less state intervention, lower taxes, tougher on crime, etc) probably assume that the Conservative party are still would govern in a conservative style.
And for those who do see themselves as conservative, there was no real option with Corbyn's Labour party at the time. |  |

Which is what needs to happen anyway.
I hate this Celtic/Rangers arrangement we have going on. Not much is going to change with so little outside pressure on the main parties. |  |

There is a problem on social media where people dig up MPs voting records (especially when they are in Govt and have to vote with it) and think that if you support or vote for a party you have to agree with every part of it.
Everyone has reasons for where they vote, I have voted for Labour in the last few elections and would consider myself now a Labour voter - but there are a number of their policies and views I think are absolutely mental but their overall package is more in line with my world view than the Conservative party is. | |

Rory Stewart was talking about this constant "voting record" stuff the other day.
As he said, if you genuinely want to make real change whilst in Parliament then you are going to have to take a party whip.
If you rebel then it's a once or twice in a lifetime decision and it will probably cost you any chance of being in a position to make change and your constituency will be punished behind the scenes. |  |

Well you're certainly right about no party is ever going to completely align with one's beliefs.
I still don't understand how an incumbent government can hold such powers over the nation to be honest, as in can sit in power for just a few years and do untold damage and spending fortunes that can never be recovered etc.
On issues that affect the nation's future there should be cross party agreement but how that would happen I've no idea.
I know we have the HofL but given the various influences involved and how far power reaches into every fold it doesn't seem to be the progressive answer either.
Social structure: schooling, healthcare...should be a matter of careful consideration of all persuasions and all angles.
It's insane a group of people can be permitted to make such massive decisions without consent from the many, whoever they may be. | |

You should give 'The Rest Is Politics' podcast a listen. It's Rory Stewart and Alistair Campbell.

I will never understand why so many people vote for a party that throws up some of the leaders that they do or has a philosophy which seems to ignore the needs of part of the population. Many of them will never understand why I vote the way I do. Trying to drag those whose views you oppose in front of your kangaroo court of TWTD opinion seems needless. Leave them to look at themselves in the mirror or volunteer something on here if they choose to. |  | | |

I abstained in a Labour safe seat, which ended with a massive labour majority.
I'd vote for one of the main two parties if they made votes equal or took actions to stop people buying power through "donations". |  |

Good for you
and well done for opposing the NHS, the Equalities Act, minimum wage
more people should be grateful to their betters ... and the crumbs that fall from their table
and red wall Tories will be grateful for leaving the EU, which means that they are not going to be taxed on their offshore accounts, either | | | |
