Honestly don't care.
Never have and never will vote labour.

John1971 · 07/12/2019 23:31

They're looking for Rees Mogg. Any ideas?

Thestinkycheeseman · 07/12/2019 23:31

He will be in his country pile .

wherearemychickens · 07/12/2019 23:32

Cheeseman, what do you care about?

Thestinkycheeseman · 07/12/2019 23:33

Everything apart from labour

wherearemychickens · 07/12/2019 23:40

How will voting for the Conservative Party improve your life then?

Chloemol · 07/12/2019 23:41

Bore off

Thestinkycheeseman · 07/12/2019 23:42

It won't make it any worse

wherearemychickens · 07/12/2019 23:50

Glad to hear it. Personally, I'd prefer it if we could have the sure start centre back in our village, as well as our bus service, public toilets, a library that is open sensible hours and has staff not just volunteers, a school that doesn't have to rely on parental donations to make its budget work, and not to have to see homeless people on my way to work. It's easy to forget what we've lost, but it wasn't that long ago that all of the above were taken for granted.

wherearemychickens · 07/12/2019 23:53

Should probably clarify that I won't be voting Labour either - the tactical anti-Tory vote in my constituency is Lib Dem.

Public services are only useful and of monetary value if people use them. As nice as libraries are, if people are not using them then they are not providing monetary value.

Homelessness is immensely sad but also immensely complex. It’s misleading to suggest it wasn’t an issue in Labour years.

Labour Party candidate has rung our bell at least 7 times in the last 2 weeks.
Probably because I used to be a Labour Party member until I resigned my membership as I cannot tolerate this momentum / Corbyn Marxist farce.
I was very much centre left.
Today my husband answered the door and he was trying to get our 10 year old severely disabled DS changed into clean pull ups and clothes , as during a seizure he had been sick and soiled himself.
We have a ring doorbell so I'd told them nobody was available to come to the door.
Didn't give a reason. No ones business and no means no.
Or apparently not.
They rang the doorbell again and this time said but your car is on the drive , just give us 10 minutes or so.
I said no , I couldn't .
They rang again . I didn't want to and I am very unstable on my feet after having a brain stem bleed in August.
I also didn't want to debate in my PJs in the freezing cold!
They only rang the bloody door again!
This time my husband answered it and told them what he was doing , pointed at the bloody big sign on our front door stating that medical oxygen was in use in our house and the other huge sign on our drive gates regarding ambulance access for a sick child.
The persons response was aha ! Let's talk about the NHS and how it's failing your child !
The absolute nerve.
Our DS sees about 11 different excellent consultants at a large children's hospital for different issues and attends an amazing special school.
He's never been failed. The people who look after him are amazing.
My husband is a calm man but even he was seriously pissed off that they considered their canvassing on a freezing cold Saturday morning to be more important than his child's welfare.
I don't think they'll come back.
By the way no candidate would have been welcome at that time , especially such a persistent sod with a forceful attitude.
Who keeps ringing a video doorbell having been told nobody is available?
Absolutely rude.
The other 6 times they've been told they would have our vote if they cleared Corbyn, his cronies and the momentum bullied out but very politely and been told of our regret over the way things are.
Yet they really don't get it. Why keep coming back ?

Thesuzle · 08/12/2019 07:03

OP, just go to Venezuela to live the life you seem to want under a Labour Govt

WobblyAllOver · 08/12/2019 07:10

Every single election/referendum we get these type of threads.

Do people really think others are stupid enough to change their thinking based on being called names. It reminds me of school yard name calling.

LeekMunchingSheepShagger · 08/12/2019 08:48

Baffling isn’t it? Presumably because they don’t care that schools and the NHS are so underfunded they’re at the point of collapse. Or that a huge percentage of children are living in poverty. Or that more people than ever are dying on the streets.

But, you know, brexit is oven ready Confused

OhTheRoses · 08/12/2019 09:01

LeekMunching My DC were born in 94 and 98. In 1994 all nurses did was whinge about funding cuts - there were more midwives than women on the ward and they still whinged every time they were asked for something.

In 1998 our local hospital had closed (we had a Labour MP from 97). Services were more stretched but it was still, according to nurses the fault of the Conservatives.

In primary school the whingeing was rampant from 1999 until 2010 - there was a labour government but it was all the Conservative's fault.

DS was transferred to the independent sector in 2005; dd in 2010. The whingeing ceased and the education improved. Government was unchanged.

Politics need to be taken out of health and eduxation and it starts with militants who work there. If I took my politics to work, I would be dismissed because my stakeholders would complain.

MidnightCircus · 08/12/2019 09:14

Why is it only Labour voters who are making these threads? What are you hoping to achieve by this sanctimonious telling off? Is it just to make yourself feel better? Surely you know this won't change anybody's mind?

Patroclus · 08/12/2019 12:55

Why are they all still spouting the 'labour ruin the economy for tories to come and fix it' bullshit after the mess the tories have made after the world financial crises. Why is this shit still going unchalleged

Tory policy and austerity has been an unmitagated economic disaster. It was already starting to recover under labour and sensible investments, but the tories came in, cut eveything to pieces and somehow think thats the way to stimulate the economy. Its failed, look at the facts infront of you. We're ten years behind due to their idiocy.

Just admit you vote the way you do as you dont want to pay tax and dont care about poor people/anybody less fortunate than you because you reckon they choose to be that way.

Patroclus · 08/12/2019 12:59

For labour voters and others, things like this are about surviving at a decent level with acceptable heathcare, education and all the rest. For tories its seemingly some grudge about 'latte drinkers' and them fancying being slightly more well off. I see it all the time, they vote as if they're buying a new sofa.

nrpmum · 08/12/2019 13:10

OP can you tell me why I should be voting Labour on Thursday please.

MilkTrayLimeBarrel · 08/12/2019 13:13

Because I am a true blue Conservative and believe the country will be a much better place under Boris, compared with that awful man Corbyn whom I despise!

OhTheRoses · 08/12/2019 13:20

Here here MilkTray

pigdogridesagain · 08/12/2019 13:23

Well OP let's be honest a lot of feminists are most definitely obnoxious bigots!!!
