Has our love affair with the Tories finally ended this week?

[User135644]

From the working class cap doffers to the upper classes and the top 1%. The Tories have always been the main party of government in this country for the most part. They've ruled certainly most of my life.

It felt like the public fell out of love with them on Black Wednesday 1992 and that let in New Labour for a spell in power, before David Cameron reignited the English's centuries love affair with the Conservatives in 2010 and they've been in power ever since. Traditionally the only thing more popular here that has ruled longer is the Royal Family. The Conservatives are such a part of the fabric in this country that they should have their own verse in our national anthem almost.

This week has felt like another Black Wednesday though. The Tories will be back, of course they will. As we speak there'll be hordes of Etonians and Oxford types plotting their path to power in the future. However, like in the 90s it looks like they might lose the next election. They're going to have to rebuild that trust and love again.

I've never loved the fuckers

Totally...what a fuck up this week has been, Where are they both hiding? The Conservative party are eating themselves alive, The whole world is calling that mini budget shit but they are not budging,The sheer gall of them both,

I've never had any love for the Tories, everything they stand for is reprehensible.

No love here. They make me sick.

I think that sums up how I feel

I've never loved the Tories. I've certainly never trusted the fuckers.

Love affair? Don't you mean abusive, controlling, neglectful relationship?

God I fucking hope so.

No doubt some people will still find an excuse to either vote for them or not vote at all.

Tories have always been abhorrent but this lot are just the worst of the worst.

That's a highly imaginative username OP.... Fishing for a by-line?

Stockholm syndrome

I can't begin to imagine what kind of a brainless sap you'd have to be to ever be in love with them in the first place.

My feelings precisely.

Sadly the current labour leadership is Tory 2. Controlled opposition.

Yes. Anyone who voted for them before would most likely be doing so for financial/economic reasons not social. Now they have totally fucked that up so may as well vote Labour. Lesser of 2 evils.

<--- not envy

We all complacently thought things couldn’t get any worse than with Boris -‘I love Russia & wallpaper’- Johnson - and now this!

& 15 perfect if the UK are using food banks! Ffs!

I think we need another option tbh

This ..because I cannot be bothered with repeating the obvious!

I realised the other day in my lifetime there have been 7 prime minister's and only 2 of them were labour, Tony and Gordon.

My lifetime PM's are

Major
Blair
Brown
Cameron
May
Johnson
Truss

I think the tide has now turned like you say OP and we will now see another Labour government.

But also when the queen died everyone was saying she's seen 15prime minister's and she was 96! At the rate I'm going through them I'll have met that figure in another 20 or so years, goes to show how unstable our governments have been recently.

I will assume you're talking about England's love affair with the Tories? They've always been despised in Scotland.

What are you on about? Who loved them before this?

'Our love affair'? Speak for yourself. I've loathed them for decades.

Their time is up it seems for sure. But not convinced by Labour either, what a sorry state of affairs

They literally had a party while we all worried we were going to get fined if we sat closer than 2 meters in a public park with one other person.

I think the tories have just handed us a labour government at the next GE.

The English specifically, yes.
