See i just got called an idiot just in case i think that Labour voters who object to Corbyn are Tories. And told to grow up.

Not because i think it, but just In CASE.

I never said that.

I find it appalling people vote Tory because they object to Corbyn, if they claim to be left wing, though.

WrongTrouser · 08/05/2017 15:53

And to go from "90% of posts" to "oh, different threads actually" Confused

TheMonkeyandthePlywoodViolin · 08/05/2017 15:52

Wrong i agree.

I wasnt actually originally addressing you.

WrongTrouser · 08/05/2017 15:51

Okay, so other posters on other threads have sneered at Labour voters, so people on this thread shouldn't point out that sneering at Tory voters or indeed any voters, is unhelpful and politically counterproductive? Hmm

Not quite following your logic there but never mind.

Radishal · 08/05/2017 15:51

Monkey. That's nonsense. I have a look at, and contribute to, most of the GE threads. There is no Tory sneering at Labour to really speak of. Unless you are one of these idiots who think Labour voters who criticise Corbyn are actually Tories.
Please grow up. Vote how you like but I cannot vote Labour while Corbyn is leader. And I have always voted Labour. Since the 80s.

TheMonkeyandthePlywoodViolin · 08/05/2017 15:47

Actually there are so many threads. This is one of the tamer ones. But sneering at Labour voters..not very gracious from the party leading in the polls..is totally rife here on MN

WrongTrouser · 08/05/2017 15:36

I've reread pages 1,2,3 and 8,9,10. Haven't found one comment sneering at Labour voters. A few criticisms of the Labour party and Labour politicians. Please do point out these sneery comments.

WrongTrouser · 08/05/2017 15:27

Can you give an example Monkey ?

TheMonkeyandthePlywoodViolin · 08/05/2017 15:08

90% of this thread is sneering at Labour voters and calling them stupid

But oh the outrage..

WrongTrouser · 08/05/2017 14:57

butterfly I've been a big J Pie fan up to now but I'm disappointed to see he's joining in with the misogynist insults against Theresa May in his latest video (can't remember exactly and not minded to watch again but some crude sexual innuendo about May and Trump). Saddened by that - it is possible to be satirical, witty, biting etc without joining in with nasty misogyny.

WrongTrouser · 08/05/2017 14:51

Say I Am Strong And Stable fifty billion times and the half wits believe it

Is that sensible, rational, intelligent, thoughtful political discussion?

What has gone so wrong with this country that people think that insulting people is a replacement for rational debate? Why do so many people think that talking rubbish makes them look intelligent, as long as they just throw in a bit of name-calling? It really doesn't.

PigletWasPoohsFriend · 08/05/2017 14:38

Say I Am Strong And Stable fifty billion times and the half wits believe it.

Well insulting people is really going to persuade them to vote 'your way' isn't it.

Ridiculous

PigletWasPoohsFriend · 08/05/2017 14:38

Well ICM poll has Tories with a 22 point lead....

Starlighter · 08/05/2017 12:56

The arrogance and self-righteousness of this post is something to be ashamed of, OP. We live in a democracy and we all vote for reasons we want to. It's about choice, not shooting down anyone who disagrees with you.

GretchenFranklin · 08/05/2017 12:51

if you tell people something enough they start to believe it.

Precisely.

butterflytoast · 08/05/2017 12:46

Just posting my favourite video of the day here. I LOVE Jonathan Pie. Sadly there's less comedy and a whole lot more truth in this video.

The Tories ARE NOT COMPETENT. Case in point - if you tell people something enough they start to believe it.

GetInTheFuckingSea · 08/05/2017 12:38

And then there's the utter car crash that is Brexit.

GetInTheFuckingSea · 08/05/2017 12:37

Competent? The national debt has tripled under them.

GretchenFranklin · 08/05/2017 12:34

Solo why do you think they are competent? Is it because they always say so? Look up how much money they have squandered, how high the deficit is now in comparison to Labour's management. Please.

SoloD · 08/05/2017 12:30

Tory's may not be nice but at least they are competent. Unlike the utter chaos of the Labour party.

LondonNicki · 07/05/2017 22:17

They are voting against their own interests agreed.

WrongTrouser · 07/05/2017 21:51

Excellent post Demant

Demant0 · 07/05/2017 21:15

'Bigot' a person who is intolerant towards those holding different opinions.

I hold centre left ideals. I voted leave. I have tactically voted ukip. I might vote conservative this time around.

It's complicated.

I am neither hypocritical nor thick.

No one has all the answers op. I do, however, have one thing on the likes of you. I do see all the sides and recognise there are nor 'right' or 'wrong' answers just different ways of looking at things. I think you may benefit from opening your mind a little bit and accepting the fact there are alternative views out there to your own.

Figaro2017 · 07/05/2017 17:28

Ok, ok. We get the point that people don't like the Tories. That's fine.

So what's a credible alternative that's going to actually get us through the next few years?

SherlockPotter · 07/05/2017 17:13

Fucking hell... don't guilt trip. If people want to vote Tory then they will do as it's THEIR vote and THEIR political opinion.

Don't like the Conservatives? Don't vote for them then.
