Ive never ever read about politics, I was too young to have a vote, so didnt care, then I actually opposed voting because I viewed it as whatever was going to happen, would happen without my vote.
I think i understand the two main parties are Labour, and Conservative... are these the "tories?"
Am I right to understand that the labour party are the more humanitarian...kind? party? Wheras the Conservative are more Ruthless but intellectual of the two?
In a simple world, I would agree with a lot of the labour policies (or i think what their policies are) because I would want fairness for all, but in my mind the conservative party makes more sense for the good of the country?
Oh I dont know. Where is the middle ground? Conservatives shaft a lot of the citizens of this country who are less fortunate, but labour seems in favour of giving the citizens of the country far more (which i agree with) but where would that land us in 20,30,40 years time? Would Britain be in a worse position?
As I said, I have no idea about politics, and infact the only reason I thought about this was that my daughter asked me this morning, who I would be voting for.... Ive finally hit an age where I feel its important I have my vote, but they both seem to be at complete opposite sides of the spectrum (hardly surprising really) but they both seem like extreme choices to me.
id also like to ask, which one is the "left" party and which is the "right?"
as I said, I know nothing.
