Re: Conservatives Vote Getting Split
They are both ends of the spectrum, many love the additional handouts at the bottom, and at the top work in the NHS, Civil Service bods, and Headmaster types who also benefited.Originally posted by JamesWales View PostI'm saying most of the most left wing people I know are pretty wealthy. Most of the most vocal 'remainy' people I know were certainly wealthy.
Just my observation

Re: Conservatives Vote Getting Split
he wasn't in it for the money.Originally posted by Hilts View PostThat obviously depends where you live and who are you are friends with.
You defend the Tories on just about everything I suspect you may be a Councillor for them or something.
But the huge majority of left wing people are obviously not wealthy. To suggest otherwise would be ridiculous.
On the flip side after Kinnock lost to Thatcher he was asked what would happen to him. His reply was he'd be ok and financially be better off under Thatcher but he wasn't in it for the money.
The Kinnocks
Good one

I don't want tax cuts?Originally posted by Dave Blue View PostExplain to me what good would a tax cut do you when you ring for an ambulance? I’d love to know.
I don't want massive wastage, increased benefit payments, increased immigration, increased government jobs, and tax rises either.

Re: Conservatives Vote Getting Split
That is nonsense, and I didn't vote for Brexit.Originally posted by Hilts View PostThanks to your lot and the Bexit lot I'm already far worse off.
But we won't know the full effects of Brexit for another three to five years, Covid and the war in Ukraine and increased energy costs, both causing a hike in inflation have been the main problems over the last four to five years.

Re: Conservatives Vote Getting Split
Why is inflation so high and growth so paltry in every other country in Europe, Hilts?Originally posted by Hilts View Post🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
In Germany, where they have a centre-left govt in power, the situation is worse, so that would suggest the solution to the issues we face isn't just voting in a centre-left govt, no?
Once youve stopped laughing perhaps you can explain that one?

Now it's my turn to laugh 😂.Originally posted by SLUDGE FACTORY View PostI can explain it by stating that the centre left govt in Germany is crap

You can't provide a single example can you?
If it isn't global issues causing problems, then show me where in the western world isn't suffering / suffered the same problems as us?
There is a choice of about 50 countries or so, so it shouldn't be hard.
The risk here is that you are selling a lie, and then in a fairly short period people look around and say, well the Tories didn't work...Labour dont work either..and then where do they look?

Re: Conservatives Vote Getting Split
In my working life and as a pensioner, I’ve seen a change to Conservative from Labour in 1979, from Conservative to Labour in 1997 and the change to Conservative in 2010. I can’t remember feeling obviously worse off at the end of those Governments, yet as this one is, hopefully, coming to an end, I’m definitely worse off than I was fourteen years ago. I’m talking financially there, I’m not even thinking about the decline in the NHS, other poorer public services, worse trains, shit in our rivers and the way hardly anyone under forty can buy a house. A few months back, the Tories tried to tell us that Labour would take us “back to square one” - it was soon dropped because people were saying square one looks pretty good compared to what we’ve got now.Originally posted by North Cardiff Blue View PostEveryone with a brain knows, the problem is many have forgotten and some are too young, they'll know in five to ten years for sure.

Re: Conservatives Vote Getting Split
It's not hard is it.
Tbh, I entirely understand the argument that after a decade and a half it's time for a new party. I get that, and I would argue the same in the senedd. I also get the argument that I think Bob makes sometimes about punishing them for partygate and scandals and things.
But the argument the economy is "crashed" and the problems caused by the govt etc. I'm sorry that's not true and it's kinda dangerous stuff as the new govt will face the same problems.
As I said, name a single western country not facing the same problems to a greater or lesser extent.
Can any of you do that?
