To ask whether anyone who voted Conservative regrets it now?

[Lifestyleinlondon88]

I would very curious to see if anyone would have voted differently, or if they had the chance to change their vote now would you?

No

Innit all the evidence in the world of how murderously incompetent this lot have been but rather than accept that make up bollocks about Corbyn same as they did before the election.

Sorry, couldn't resist

Corybn would of paid everyone 150% of their wages on furlough and sent out £10k cheques to everyone, bankrupting the country in the process
Definitely think he would have introduced some sort of Universal Basic Income of around £30,000, banned landlords from evicting tenants or charging rent. Would have used the virus as an excuse to seize all of the private utilities, private schools, private hospitals, second homes, empty properties etc without paying for them. Taxed all income above £40,000 at 75%
One of the good things about Boris is that he is a well educated intelligent person who knows what happens when you do that sort of thing.

Scribbles on the back of an envelope. I make that... about 350 million a week! Hey! My maths is as good as Boris The Serial Liar Johnson's.

I regret that where I live the Tory Party lost the election but we still got saddled with them regardless, utterly devastated but not remotely surprised.

I am so thankful we don't have Corbyn because that WOULD have been the alternative.

Makes me shudder to even think it.

Saddened so many are happy to support corruption and lies as a way of government.

They didnt care about all the unnecessary deaths and suffering over the last decade why would they care about more now

It was comments like these that made me glad I voted Tory tbh.

The spiteful thick dross peddled by the most vocal left wingers was very telling.

I voted Lib Dem last elliction. I live in the top 5 labour safe seats so I wanted my vote to go to a strong remain candidate. If I lived in a Tory swing seat I would of voted tactically.

But tbh I didn’t have a political home last elliction I couldn’t get behind Johnson Corbyn or Swinson. Still now I feel none of them would have been acceptable.

No.

Labour seem more now under Starmer and with the Corbynites relegated to the back benches and obscurity. We wouldn’t have that version of Labour had Corbyn won. We’d have McDonnell instead of Rishi Sunak (who I really like).

If it was a Labour as they are now vs Conservative election now I’d be relatively ok with whatever the outcome.

I thank my lucky stars for the GE result for this alone.

I still have no trust in the Labour party. I think Keir Starma will be a good leader in the long run but the unions flexing their muscles over teachers brings back too many memories of unions not being the best thing in the past. (old gimmer here)

Do people who can’t spell election or Starmer really expect to be taken seriously?

As for this

One of the good things about Boris is that he is a well educated intelligent person who knows what happens when you do that sort of thing

Intelligent? More like completely out if touch and unable to recognise the truth if his life depended on it.

Amazingly enough, scholars of major Oxford colleges do tend to be intelligent.

My preferred candidate for PM is an Oxford educated barrister.

I know you’re so embarrassed about Corbyn that you want to pretend that he never existed, but he is who would now be Prime Minister if you’d had your way a few months ago - someone who failed his A-levels, dropped out of his polytechnic, then understood so little about the craft to which he dedicated his life that he led his party to a defeat unknown in his long lifetime.

While you call a scholar of Eton and Balliol “unintelligent” without any sense of shame about the above

Being academically intelligent isn’t the same as having emotional intelligence and being able to empathise and have understanding.

Surely that doesn’t need to be spelled out.

So what if someone was lucky enough to have enough family wealth to afford Eton and a decent education? That doesn’t make them a better candidate than someone who may not have done.

Such snobbery.

I find it laughable that some think the Tories have protected the economy. Countries that acted quickly and decisively to save as many human lives as possible will have spent less money than the tories. Govts who are not so arrogant to ignore the experts would have appropriate PPE rather than having to make payouts to so many needlessly dead NHS workers. Would have given contracts to british companies who were ready and willing rather than give contracts to their mates that were no use to anyone. Would have used tech that already existed rather than wasting money giving contracts to their mates to reinvent the wheel, badly. Would have locked down earlier and spent money on keeping up contact tracing so lockdown could have been lifted more safely and earlier.

But no we've got more deaths for more cost that we will be saddled with paying back for more years.

@CendrillonSings, Corbyn was never my preferred candidate, as you put it. He was the reason I spoilt my paper last December. I’m not embarrassed and have nothing to be ashamed of. Anyway, back in the present, I stand by what I think of the buffoon you so blindly adore.

He was the reason I spoilt my paper last December.

I’m genuinely stunned! Why on God’s green earth did you spend so much time defending him then, if you didn’t think he was worth voting for? If he managed to lose you, he must have been even worse than I thought, and I didn’t think that was possible.

Rishi Sunak has been Chancellor for five minutes and literally only because he was the only person prepared to do the job entirely under the direction and control of Dominic Cummings.

“ Amazingly enough, scholars of major Oxford colleges do tend to be intelligent.”

Baffling that people still laud Boris’s intelligence. He managed an upper second from Oxbridge after benefitting from a secondary education vastly beyond the means of most people. So much resource invested for a very meagre outcome. But then again sprinkling your speeches with some random Latin phrases does seem to wow the Tory voters.

@CendrillonSings. I never defended Corbyn, not once. I’m a lifelong Labour voter, not a Corbynista. I’ll always defend my socialist values, he didn’t represent them.

Stormzyina teacup

So you would think then JC/Labour should have been a shoe in, but what they ended up with was the largest Labour defeat in living memory, which is quite an achievement.

No Stormzy I responded to a post about ''putting up a laughable crank as their candidate for the Premiership''

With a bigger laughable crank.

zombiefan
growinganotherhead That is a lot of hate going on there!

How did it really feel when the country backed Boris and he romped home with an 80 seat majority?

Hate? Is that how you view fact which doesn't match your personal fandom? How sad.
And as I did not vote Labour, I was no more or less upset than anyone else thanks.
