Labour voters - do you regret voting for them?

This is a really interesting perspective.

Could you share some of the positive things labour are doing?

Not read the whole thread, but no. The alternatives are awful. As a child protection social worker of nearly 20 years, and before that a senior nurse in the NHS with a masters in politics and social policy, I have watched austerity destroy and cause division in the UK. David Cameron was a self indulgent fool and his legacy is toxic.

I am disappointed in labour in that they are having to jump on the bandwagon re immigration. Quietly they are doing things to fix the devastating impact of the last government. Traditionally we have had periods of Labour in power fixing the impact of Tory policy for normal, working people before being voted out but this time feels different. Cameron, Boris and all the others allowed that fuckwit Farage to gain traction and depressingly many idiots are lapping up his racist and untrue rhetoric.

I would vote Labour again tomorrow.

If anyone will be shown by history (or even now) to “have their snouts in the trough”, to repeat an earlier quote, it will be Farage. Without a doubt.

This aged well.
People don't like to shown up when they are proven wrong.

KS ďid well today, Badenoch was useless, half her party or more agreed with KS. I had to vote Liberal to help to ensure the local Tory - give him his due, he wasn't a frothing nutter like the front bench of the last government - lost his seat but I would have voted KS in the right constituency. And I wouldn't regret it.--

They've only been in 5 mins. I can't see how/ anyone's formed an opinion on them yet. Let them get a foot in the door before writing them off. You can't turn a country around, from the state it's in, in a couple months.

Awwww...I see one of your replies on this thread was deleted.

Naught TENS!

I presume, TENSsion, that you were rude about me and/or other posters here who like to interact with others at a decently-informed level.

And you kept saying that it was the Labour people who were horrid, TENS!

You use an interesting phrase like "faux naïveté" yet don't like it when the laughable arguments you previously posted were swatted away because they were nonsense/made/non sequiturs or whatever.

How odd.

If you spout un-sourced nonsense, then people are going to dismiss it.

Does this come as a surprise to you?

Then you were rude and horrid yourself about non Daily Mail/Express readers like myself and others on this thread

Perhaps I might have had a point about you Daily Mail and Daily Express readers...???

Awwww...I didn't see what she wrote, but I presume TENSsion was rude about me and other people who like to interact with others at a decently-informed level.

And you kept saying that it was the Labour people who were horrid, TENS!

Perhaps I might have had a point about Daily Mail and Daily Express readers...???

I'm asking why you're continuing to engage when you're bored and have an evidently poor opinion of the posters you're addressing. I apologise if my question was unclear.

Labour voters - do you regret voting for them?

When the alternative was five more years of Tories?

Are you out of your mind? Everyone who voted Tory should apologise and those who voted Tory and Brexit even more so.

I most certainly don’t.

You exhibit the same behaviour.

Is that a rhetorical question?

Or are you quoting me to ask me why I respond to people quoting me?

This on a thread asking if Labour voters regret voting for them. Who is being assumed to be stupid in the first instance, so you think? Whose vote being disrespected?

If I did any of that I wouldn’t be bored, I’d be ashamed. Perhaps you’ve failed to notice that I’m not the poster you insulted?

If you're bored with the discussion why are you continuing to engage with it and insult other people?

Do you not get bored of this?

Do you not get bored of implying anyone with a different opinion to you is stupid?

Do you not get fed up of denying you think and wrote this only to double down by explaining how superior you are to “daily mail readers”?

Then the effort you have to go to to perform this faux naïveté?

Because I get bored of reading it.

Your opinion is not worth more than anyone else’s.

Even if that person isn’t highly educated. Even if that person reads newspapers you disprove of. Even if that person is of lower class.

Everyone’s vote is worth the same as yours.

What does that mean?

As I say, the self awareness here can’t be helped.

Why is it necessary to insult people? Just why? It’s really pissing me off that so many posters keep doing this. It adds nothing.

"Pollute the planet with children"??

That is a very depraved view.

What do you think I mean?

I've explicitly mentioned that the standard of debate is at a low level; i.e. people just spouting off stuff that they "reckon" without anything being backed up by way of sources, facts etc.

You know how in those publication nonsense is just spouted and people lap it up unthinkingly?

Just different approached to life, I suppose.

I like to piss about and take the mick but I also like to interact at a decent level of knowledge and understanding.

Not just shoot the breeze with and talk past people.

If I'm chatting to an architect about architecture or a scientist about science or knitter about knitting, I would have the self-awareness to acknowledge that I'm not on the same level as they are on that particular topic and I'd take in what was said and be educated.
