When did you *know* the Tories were over?

For me it was PM Liz Truss's "fiscal event".

I remember watching it aghast. I thought it would lay out Britain's post Brexit plan for growth. Turned out the Tory government didn't have one.

What was your turning point?

I’ll believe it when I see it. The Daily Mail flies off the shelves of the shop near where I work.

GingerPirate · 03/07/2024 19:48

Liz Truss and also their actions during the so called pandemic.
Never more.

I’m answering a slightly different question which is ‘When did the Tories reach their lowest point for you’
I mean I didn’t support them politically before but I had a certain amount of respect for Cameron and May as credible politicians. But when Johnson and co tried to gaslight the public over Barnard Castle and then outright lied about parties to parliament that for me became unforgivable. They tried to lie and mislead the public they are supposed to represent. I have been counting down the days until they get shown the door and I can’t wait to see them out of power. Absolute disgrace of a government. Am looking forward to watching their downfall.

I can't imagine any professional is going to stay in the UK if Labour win, it will be a hell hole of taxes and socialism and activism for years and years. There are so many other options, and already I can see anyone with choices and not stuck on benefits (like us) will relocate. I don't want my kids growing up around this defeatism and lack of ambition. Like a robot jammed on failure and decay.

Last time around Labour crashed the economy and we had to pay off their debts for years, will people never learn??

Well we all know who crashed the economy most recently.

Bye then. Remember to shut the door on your way out.

Party gate and their total disregard of how hard it was for the people suffering in all sorts of ways through Covid. And the total fuck up that was Liz Truss.

Anyone voting for the Tories must have not been affected in any way by those events.

Username22222 · 03/07/2024 20:07

Brexit.

Horrified that it was voted in, the Tories knew it would be extremely damaging to most UK citizens quality of life.

They were toast then.

verdantverdure · 03/07/2024 20:12

Yeah.

Brexit has done for them similarly to what it has done for our country.

Fucked it over royally.

Michael Gove and Boris Johnson celebrating their win when the EU Referendum result was announced.

They look thrilled don't they?

Partygate seemed the turning point, after which I thought they would not get a majority next time. Not the same as Labour winning a majority though.

Labour are going to loose over women's rights - half the population cannot trust them.

Why do you think you have the right to speak for half the population?

You have your opinions, and I have mine.

Do not claim to speak for me, nor any of my family, friends or workmates.

When the party turned on Boris. He had the nation behind him during covid, even the Labour voters. It was all downhill ever since but the Tories have noone to blame but themselves, turning on him and forcing him out. The Truss fiasco was secondary.

Sorry I was never with him. He is a serial liar and a charlatan and saw through him every time he opened his mouth during Covid.

I'm not speaking for you. I'm telling you.

When Cameron came back into the Cabinet.

Once that had happened there was no inducement on Earth that would have made me vote Conservative.

Oh it is you again.

The election isn't even until tomorrow, are you suggesting it is rigged and we are the last to find out?

Yes, it's me. Again.
I'm not suggesting anything is rigged. Are you imagining stuff and believing it to be true?😵‍💫

Liz did it. For sure. I think Rishi was holding a poisoned chalice!

No way? The Torygraph scaremongering during an election?!!

I think people have good reason to be concerned that Rayner and her unionist wing will depose Starmer very quickly and this country will see our first ever hard left government. It is very likely happen. Keir has always been a weak fig leaf.

Brexit Referendum did it for me and then the constant change of PM.

I do hope you are wrong.

What unionist wing?

I agree. People will put up with a lot of deceit and eroding of public services but as soon as their mortgages go up £300 a month they start to really notice something’s gone wrong.
