I agree OP. The Conservatives are evil.

It does amaze me that people moan about how awful the NHS is at the moment and our rubbish education system, then vote Tory. I don't understand the logic one bit.

Bringmesunshite · 05/05/2017 10:04

Op , where were you during the EU referendum. On fecking holiday like the blessed JC? The aftermath of that disastrous vote outcome will screw our economy for ages. That is really going to hammer the NHS, education, policing. You think it's shit now.
And all this diddums bullshit "Dem in de EU are being mean to us." You ain't seen nothing yet.

The Tories don't believe in public services.

This gets said a lot but it isn't true, and anyone who thinks about it knows it isn't true. I am a Tory and I believe in public services, but they need to be paid for.

Currently Labour could not organise a piss up in a brewery - they are a shambles and you want people to vote for that? A complete unmitigated disaster zone? I didn't vote Tory btw but there's not a chance come hell nor high water that Labour could get its arse together and become electable in 35 days.

Agree 100%

Do you not think that when the conservatives get in by such a huge majority that actually you are the one in the minority?
I am so bored of people complaining about election results - we have a democratic system, we all get to vote and we can vote however we like safely.
Frankly I am very grateful for that.
I voted for what I believe will provide the greatest benefit to the greatest number of people, you voted for what you believe in, both of our votes are equally valid
Welcome to democracy

MoreThanUs · 05/05/2017 09:57

Sasher, you are throwing round accusations but not engaging with counter arguments, so just vote as you please and I'll vote as I please. The party with the most MPs will then form a government. Job done.

'I was an adult in the Thatcher era. If you think this bunch of bumbling Tories are as bad as Thatcher, you really do need to grow up'

So was I.
Give them time. Once TM has been elected we'll see her true colours.

We need a strong and sustainable economy

Is that you Theresa?

Ramping up the vitriol towards the EU is hardly conducive to a smooth Brexit, is it? Which we will need if we want a strong and stable economy Hmm

Cutting funding to education, therefore wiping out the chances of many many children is hardly the basis on which we found a strong and stable economy Hmm business keep bleating on about how your young people don't have the right skills, yet the Tories cut funding to schools and demoralise a significant proportion of the teachers.

Theresa May hasn't said how she will deliver a strong and stable economy.

Please can someone provide some answers.

Everyone would like to write a blank cheque to the NHS and schools, have more bank holidays and do what we please, but we can not saddle the next generation with these enormous debts. It's not fair.

I don't believe it's a question of not enough money. It's a matter of ideology and priorities. The Tories don't believe in public services. The party stands for each person fending for itself and that includes paying for their own education and healthcare. Therefore they prioritise their spending in other areas.

I'm astonished that people with children in state schools or people who use the NHS are able to turn a blind eye to the degradation of our public services as a result of all the funding cuts, thereby supporting this. I don't understand it. I can only assume it's because they either don't believe it's happening or they don't understand it.

bigmack · 05/05/2017 09:55

I'm amazed that people think that we can trust Philip Hammond and Teresa May to act in the interests of 'ordinary working people' after the National Insurance fiasco.

MrsSummerisle · 05/05/2017 09:55

Oh dear, has the democratic will of the British people hurt your feelings, OP? Good luck winning over all those pesky opposing voters with abuse, that's a sure-fire electoral strategy and no mistake... Wink

jamaicanbobsledder · 05/05/2017 09:54

Now Boris didn't get in to lead the Conservative party so point proven.

SeekEveryEveryKnownHidingPlace · 05/05/2017 09:54

Labour aren't going to win, so it doesn't really matter that much how much of an arse Corbyn is - I hope he goes, and soon. But I want my local Labour MP to stay, so I'll be voting Labour for that reason as much as the fact that Labour are the only party I could ever put my cross next to.

I do hope they sort themselves out soon.

rosie1959 · 05/05/2017 09:54

Probably looks like lots of people are going to be ashamed of themselves if local elections are anything to go by come June 8th
If labour are so bloody wonderfull why are they not soaring in the polls

In what way is he a clueless and bumbling clown? Boris Johnson anyone?

Not just on personalities but on competence or lack of. And willingness to compromise or lack of.
That and indulgence of antisemitism , sucking up to the IRA as a pose etc.

MoreThanUs · 05/05/2017 09:51

It's got nothing to do with personality and everything to do with competency, OP. Don't kid yourself.

FluffyBathTowel · 05/05/2017 09:51

Do you really vote based on personalities?

Partly. If I don't want to an ineffective clueless bumbling clown to run the country.

jamaicanbobsledder · 05/05/2017 09:50

I don't make the connection personally between voting Tory and being ashamed of using public services. If anything, it's probably predominantly Tory voters' taxes on their second homes paying for them so why not?! Might get the bus today now you've mentioned it....

MoreThanUs · 05/05/2017 09:50

It's all relative, isn't it, OP. We need our economy to be as strong and secure as possible to pay for everything we want / need.

We have to chose whether we want Theresa May and Phil Hammond or Jeremy Corbin and John McDonell to be in charge of that.

Don't criticise me for choosing Conservative in that situation.

SasherinSuite · 05/05/2017 09:50

Tory voters are supporting funding cuts to all these areas despite the fact you are happy to use them.

SasherinSuite · 05/05/2017 09:48

Why is what Labour stands for an embarrassment? Do you really vote based on personalities?

OP posts:
AllThePrettySeahorses · 05/05/2017 09:48

Wh? Do Tory voters not pay tax towards many of these services which entitles them to use them?

FYI, I'd rather chop my arm off than vote Tory - but I won't be voting racist UKIP MkII (i.e. Labour) either - not until the albatross is gone.
