What on earth is going on in North East Somerset? There's voting Tory and the lies, corruption and incompetence that comes with it. Then there's Jacob Rees-Mogg. It's quite noticeable that the cabinet members who seem to be coming out strongest for Bojo are those the least blessed with ability and intelligence (low benchmark with this cabinet I know) such as the Minister for the 19th Century and Dorries. It's all about self preservation as they know they have absolutely zero chance of getting a similar post under any other leader. 1

As a voter who now lives abroad, at the next GE I will be voting for the party who will be looking after my financial interests within the UK best. If that happens to be the Tory party would I be wrong?

Popular Post Zear0 Posted 13 January 2022 Popular Post Posted 13 January 2022 5 minutes ago, FoxesDeb said: Why? Few reasons spring to mind: They've raised VAT They've raised national insurance They've spunked billions on illegal procurement projects to line their own pockets at the cost of the tax payer. They're indifferent to the cost of living fueled by inflation which isnt great for finances. Windfall tax on record profits for gas companies? Nope, they keep that as they've 'had a tough time'. Noting your current situation, Brexit is a financial shit show one would suspect. The PM didn't even know what the single market was until it went. There's confidence in their financial competency for you. These are reasons off the top of my head over my tea why the historic view that conservative governments are some panacea of financial sensibility is out on its arse. I think it was a hard earned and now lost perception. I feel the grain of truth to Conservatives good, everyone else bad when it comes to the economy is dead in the water. They don't give a flying f*** about us is the main 'why' 10 1

Just believe vast majority of our people are better served by Labour for all their faults. I can understand why voting Green or Liberal Democrats may be an option. I have been staggered by the number of working classes voting Tory. Seems lots think themselves middle class when they are not really. I know many don't think there is a class divide still but I do. 5 1

A huge problem with the modern world is that people are all too happy to live in their little bubbles and give Absolutely no ****s to the rest of the world, planet and its inhabitants. See climate change, all the uninterested masses, deniers and couldn't give a shitters will be looking for people to blame when they realise their money, land and everything else matters diddly squat 6 2

Even if you claim to vote in terms of personal financial interests, is having an extra few quid in your pocket worth the reduced public services, the increased crime and reoffending rates due to ineffective social and police funding, and a massively polarised society? In my opinion, it’s in an individual’s best interest to vote in British society’s best interest and that’s before getting into moral arguments. 7 1

Being able to vote and then not suffering the consequences of your vote, it’s not right. 9
