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?

I actually voted for labour but I'm glad Boris is the PM at the moment rather than Corbyn - and I can't believe I'm saying that.

Labour voters get up In the morning, thinking what can we do to make the world better, Tory voters get up saying our work here is done - it’s hard to be a good socialist, easy to be a good Tory

You vote for a party with reese mogg, christopher chope etc. but you're concerned about the 'misogyny' in labour? sure you are...

John Major started PFI actually.

Hindsight or a crystal ball would be a wonderful thing but no one has it, including the Government. Everyone is very quick to criticise but everyone would do things in a different way and most people don't agree with each other. This shouldn't be political problem, it is a world problem and in an ideal world we should all be pulling together. He is far from perfect but I think Boris is doing ok.

Of course not. The alternative would have been unthinkable. I'll not have any regrets when they win the next election either.

Tory voters, do you still clap for the NHS on a Thursday

I don't 'still' clap because I have never clapped and agree with my neighbour who is a district nurse who thinks it's ridiculous and best left to the virtue signallers.

Definitely Tory’s seeing as they’re all lying 🤥

Here is a breakdown of how Labour have handled the pandemic in Wales:

*I have only skimmed this thread, so apologies if it has already been posted.

Yeah the Daily Mail isnt treated as an acceptable source in academia for a reason

this is what i want to ask my neighbours on thursday nights oh it causes me great irritation.

Corbyn is all about statism and centralized government, plus massive nhs investment - an organized national response would have been his MO.

What exactly do you think would be worse than now? Genuine question

There is plenty that would/could be worse, and I say that as someone who has never in their life voted conservative and probably never will.
Trump is worse.
An extreme far right party would be worse
Labour/Lib Dems may have been worse- we'll never know.

There is plenty I think would be worse, some I think would be better, but we have to deal with reality and this government is the reality. Like it or not (and I don't) they are here for almost five more years, unless they are daft enough to call another election and risk losing their majority.

The stats show that the less educated a person is the more likely they were to have voted for conservative.

Conservative voters I’ve found have less capacity for critical reasoning, so likely wouldn’t regret anything.

‘ The highest level of education someone has achieved remains an important dividing line in how people vote. Labour did much better than the Conservatives amongst those who have a degree or higher, by 43% to 29%.’

Conservatives also did overwhelmingly well with voters whose highest level of education was GCSE level.

I think it’s the same mechanism by which Trump got elected in America.

I didn’t vote conservative but I couldn’t have voted for a Labour under a man who couldn’t command any respect from the press or anyone else, and who allowed the Labour Party to almost implode under his stewardship. A man who lost twice to Theresa May, the most inept prime minister imaginable. For the first time in years I’m excited by politics - it feels like we’re starting to return to a functioning democracy - a government making decisions and an opposition capable of holding them to account, which is how it should be.

I didn’t vote Tory but I don’t see why anything so far would have caused any Tory voters to change their mind. I do think they’ve dealt with it better than Corbyn would have.

The problem you have op, is that you don’t understand why people voted Tory in the first place and you still don’t.

@Sukhwinder - that’s not true. At the last election graduates voting conservative was about 34% to about 39% for labour. A large part of that is that conservative voters are much more highly represented in older age groups (who are less likely to be graduates).

@Sukhwinder makes sense. Look at what was voted in lol. Someone who ran away and hid. Tried to nick a reporters mobile. A long history of racism and sexism, abuse, dead beat dad, compulsive liar etc. And then there are the appaling attempts of trying to string coherent sentences together. He doesn't even bother to consult anyone it seems considering the stunt last weekend, and when he does, they are shysters, well just like him and all his cabinet.

Absolute scandalous the corruption that they are pulling and people are happy with this. But big companies dodge tax and omfg the outrage. And many of these big companies stepped in when the government failed.

We are a bigger joke than America and Trump. Every single step of the way they cocked up and it's cost lives. Yes, it's global, but even Italy seemed to have got it contained a lot quicker than here. Seems they, like many others, listened to facts from those with more knowledge of corona strain. Instead we have some fool who tells the nation it's in the water ffs.

I would regret.
But i think we have just been unlucky with getting BJ just beforehand.
He has handled it very poorly.
Mainly letting italy returners back to work.
Then not allowing anyone to be tested yet knowing the next person could have it within 5 days.

@CayrolBaaaskin I still don't understand why people voted for him. But then I had the "pleasure" just like all Londoners, of his stint as mayor. We did try to warn people 😂

So how is Wales faring in the Covid response?

Last time I checked, Labour ran the devolved Welsh NHS and Public Health Wales.

Wales makes England look like Germany...their testing, PPE and care home treatment is shocking.

So any Labour supporters... are you happy with the Welsh administration's response? How is your conscious on Thursday evening?

Nope.

Lots of countries are doing a great job.
Denmark, NZ, Austria, Slovenia, Norway, Iceland, Finland, Czech Republic, Austria, Vietnam (no deaths!), Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore (nearly all cases are confined to migrant dormitories - which they seem to be handling well), Tunisia, Slovakia, Greece, Portugal...

That’s just to name some off the top of my head.

indeed Sukhwinder

I don't blame people for voting Tory when Corbyn was so shite. But Starmer is showing up just how poor Johnson (and the also rans of the Tory Cabinet Ministers left after the Purge) really are.

Honestly i don't think it matters what the tories do. There could be a million covid deaths due to their incompetent handling and they'd still vote for them and never ever regret it. Bojos incompetence is the joke of the world second only to trump. He's even more of a disaster without his braying mules behind him and was caught out blatently lying in Parliament last week. Tory voters don't care.
