Conservatives closing the gap on reform

Google what she said.

Any conservative supporters here ?
Recent reports say the gap on reform is closing
Having watched some clips of kemi in action,I was quite impressed
But I don't know much about the party having never voted conservative,
Have they more of an insight in to current feeling than labour?

Nail on the head. People seem to conveniently forget the damage done by Brown and Blair re immigration, "bigotted woman", and not putting limits on Eastern European immigration (when all other top EU economies did!).

It’s probably a pragmatic view. In the past I’d vote anyone to tactically try and keep the Tories out. I fear at the next election I’ll be voting Tory to try and keep Reform out.

@ThisQuirkyHare that’s rather defeatist, the lesser of 2 evils, in your opinion it will between them, so you’re going to help them on their way🤷‍♀️

Why?

Gillian Duffy was a bigoted woman.

That ‘rub their noses in diversity’ didn’t help either. And generally ignoring people hence the Brown downfall.

To add if it’s a politician’s strategy to piss people off don’t be surprised when they kick back in votes.

I’m no fan of the Tory shitshow but let’s not be under any illusion, Brexit was years in the making. We should blame Tony Blair for the increasing political union with Europe. Cameron was left to deal with that. An economic union was just fine, but Europe weren’t content with that.

The majority of money lost to Covid fraud was furlough as recently reported, not PPE fraud. Dishonest businesses claiming money for staff who weren’t even working. Warms your heart, doesn’t it?

As to giving RR £40 billion, are you having an actual laugh?

Good.

I have never supported the conservatives but anything that prevents that far right, fake patriot, grifter Farage from ruining the country has to be welcome.

The Tories were by far the senior party in the coalition.

The endless drama you refer too, was caused by them and their Brexit policy, Cameron was a bloody idiot, this policy led to Boris and then Truss, tbh Sunak was little better, a recession in the last 6months of 2023 and "lost" £11bn in Covid fraud, then cancelled HS2, 29bn down the drain.

What could Reeves do with that £40 billion right now!

Which previous government? Which particular administration do you take issue with? Or is it just ‘the last 14 years blah blah blah’ which if I hear another non-Conservative MP trot out I will need to distract myself my peeling off my own eyelids.

Did I sleepwalk through a coalition government for the first five years of that 14? Did I also sleepwalk through voters choosing successive Tory governments because the alternative was so unpalatable?

Boris and Truss were a disgrace but all other Conservative PMs were decent people dealing with endless drama. Keir Starmer wouldn’t have stood a chance then either.

The problem is though, The Tories, will go into coalition with Reform! That worries me, l don’t trust Reform.The conservatives will sadly align with Reform😔

I’ll vote for whoever keeps Reform out. In my area that’s Conservative. We have a good and very proactive MP here.

However I don’t like Kemi, or any idiot saying publicly (as Kemi has) that you get Motability for ADHD. That’s bollocks and even worse is that she knows it’s bollocks but said it anyway….it placed her in the “nasty bitch” category of female politicians . I have a separate list for utter dicks (Farage)

I know more people whose lives were adversely affected by the policies of the previous government.

Did you block out the intervening 13 years of Blair/Brown who did bugger all to deal with the problems and managed to make things worse?

Voting Tory or Labour is like being given two loaded guns and your only choice being which gun to shoot yourself with.

We've been governed by incompetents or fraudsters for decades now and continuing to vote Tory or Labour really won't solve the inherent problems.

Did you just block out the previous 14 years they were in? Austerity, university fees up massively (plus interest on the loans ), Brexit, Covid mishandling…

Prior to fear selling off of council houses without replacing, selling of utilities so everything costs more now, selling of water industry, transport…

@EasternStandard hmm l just haven’t got a short memory, when it comes to the last government
who were in for 14 years.
