Thread: Drakeford more unpopular than popular

  1. #1

    Drakeford more unpopular than popular

    https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/p...s-how-27320155

    Comes as no surprise, but nowhere near as unpopular as Andrew Davies and Rishi Sunak. I guess the poll is in keeping with Wales as a mainly Labour country but also demonstrates that, even if Labour's support were to dive, the Tories wouldn't be the ones benefitting.

    Interesting little snippet at the bottom as well, where immigration is far more of an issue to old Tory voters than the rest of the population.

    These kind of things are always really interesting to see. I often find the Welsh ones that ask people who runs certain services in Wales quite illuminating.

    Youve got your tongue so far up his @rse you can probably see what he had for breakfast. Slurp slurp red rosette boy - go worship your leader blah blah

    That's the sort of thing you usually accuse others of doing - so for a change - you can taste some of your own rhetoric.

    I absolutely know you are a raving tory creep spoiling the landscape of Wales with your ways of a traitor by voting for them

    And you know it too

    Anything you can throw about is like trying to kill an elephant with a pea shooter

    Probably not a good idea for a tory living in tax exile in France to comment on the person we welsh have elected as you say

    People are entitled to vote for who they want Sludge ,depending on their views , financial position etc. If a person doesn’t vote Labour how is that voter a traitor?

    My wife votes Tory on the basis of the above and she can’t stand new Labour and neither can for that matter. Who knows she might change her views depending on the next GE manifesto.

    Generally high bracket earning families vote for Conservative. Even a Tory voter can fundraise, give to charity , be an active member of the PTA , donate to homeless etc, have an interest in local charities, take kids on day trips etc.

    I don't really care

    My views are I don't like the Tories and if I am in the company of someone who is a tory I don't have much to do with them

    Bloke over the road was out on the street clapping for the nurses during the covid crisis , year before sticking up vote conservative Union jack nonsense in his window

    It's his right to vote for the clowns , if it benefits him ......which is what you seemed to be suggesting tories do ......and i agree .....but its my right to chose to vote against them ......which sometimes isn't labour

    As for Tories fund raising for the homeless ...Good god their housing policies since Thatcher got in are a big part of the reason why single people in particular struggle to find decent housing and get support if they have health problems

    Voting tory abd therfore supporting their housing policy and then raising money for the homeless ?

    It's like stealing 10 grand from someone then feeling guilty for what you have done and sending them a food parcel ......but only a small one

    My wife was not old enough to vote when Thatcher was in power and unlike some she doesn’t hold deep seated grudges.

    Nor was I initially

    But her housing policies were shocking and marginalised single homeless people

    Now if I was at a village summer fete or carnival and someone was rattling a collection tin for shelter I would stick a tenner in but if over a cup of tea later they started going on about voting tory I would feel well within my rights ......as you say .....to point out their vote for the consevatives is more likely to cause homelessness than prevent it

    That's my perogative

    I think high rate tax payers pay enough towards the issues you have mentioned, how it’s distributed is generally a Labour decision in Wales

    Do you ?

    OK

    Well that's the view of a Conservative or a person sympathetic to their policies

    I see no point in arguing the toss with you , the Tories in Wales are seen by the majority as the enemy

    And I agree even though I am not a left wing Marxist
