Would you vote conservative again?

[Erica56]

I wouldn’t vote conservative again after the total shambles that have been the last 12 years. They’re constantly infighting rather than sorting out the economy and have left the NHS in a total mess. No care for people suffering from the cost of living crisis

I don’t understand why they continue to be voted in. And now Boris trying to comeback? What???

I think those who vote for them must be feeling v healthy ( never need to use NHS which they have destroyed), no kids in school, no kids in uni.

statistically speaking, a large portion of the population need and use the above, so I conclude the majority that compulsively vote Tory have a form ofStockholm Syndrome

Yes I would. I have voted for every major party in the past, at one time or another.

I've never voted Tory but I understood why people would. But recently they seem to have been more focused on trying to mend their ideological split (which is what kicked off the Brexit referendum in the first place) than actually being a party with a vision of how they govern. And if they bring back Boris I hope there's a mass exodus of MPs, but I doubt there will be.

At this particular point in time I agree. When you’ve got members of your own party publicly disillusioned and speaking frankly about the need for party reform it’s surprising that anyone can continue to follow them.

@Faciadipasta @NicolaSixSix They’re far too woke, too wishy-washy, don’t understand the meaning of a woman and cannot make the hard decisions.

What do you mean by left the NHS in a mess?

From my experience it has always been a mess. My worse experiences of trying to get treatment (both times I was near death) were under a Labour government.

THE NHS is a behemoth of an organisation that won’t change because the rhetoric is always how cash starved it is. Not how it’s practices waste the resources it has.

Perhaps I was young and stupid, but the Conservatives seemed like a good party to vote for in my youth, but now I haven't voted for them since Cameron, and sincerely I wish I hadn't voted for him since he ushered in the Brexit era in an attempt to stop his party fighting like rats in a sack.

It didn't help.

Obviously.

Brexit always makes everything worse. Besides always giving you the opposite of what you voted for it for, making things worse is Brexit's defining feature.

Give it a bash right now @Kennykenkencat. you won’t just be near death, you stand a good chance of tea with the grim reaper. Good news is medical negligence doesn’t get a look in, you’d have to survive the average four hour wait for an ambulance to get anywhere near hospital grounds.

Labour want to erase hard won women’s sex-based rights so they will not get my vote.

No, never. They’re a shambles!

I’ll decide at time but Labour could have a go at this point

Although this does concern me too

Look, the NHS is an unmanageable behemoth. Labour tried spending more money on it, and it got better. The Conservatives tried spending less money on it, and it got worse. It's just an intractable problem that we're never going to solve. Voting for the party that wants it gone is obviously the best way to improve it.

i can assure you the nhs was entirely different to work and be treated in under labour government. It is now unrecognisable. Services will continue to contract under Tory government. Expect things to get much much worse. Expect no treatment or help now if you are ill. They have ensured the services are entirely mismatched with patient need.

Don't. People don't understand this level of satire any more.

Like Brexit, what are you actually voting for?

I’m not adverse to reforming healthcare but that doesn’t mean burn the only option the population has without bringing in the alternative. That’s psychotic.

@Cornettoninja
I'm aware of the question thank you which I answered in full. It appears you saw a part of that answer which you disagree agree with and decided I hadn't answered the question. I would suggest that's your issue not mine.

I'll spell it out for you.
Ultimately there are only 2 parties that are likely to get in to power. As I don't want it to be Labour, I would tactically vote Conservative. Therefore my answer is yes, I would vote Conservative. Clear?

Those of us with mortgages are soon to get hundreds of reasons a month not to vote Conservative again aren't we? Unless we've remortgaged already and already have to find hundreds of pounds extra every month because of them.

@vipersputpaidtomylastusername the * was to denote a break in the text to separate the text from addressing you personally and addressing the rest of the thread generally.

You didn’t answer the part addressing the fact the conservatives have no talent left.

Same.

Until it’s sorted from management down, nothing will change.

As an NHS manager I'd very much like to sort out (my part) of the NHS. However because of the current circus I still don't know if I'll have any money in April to keep a vital and life saving service going for patients in this region.

I’ve no idea where my vote will go, but as a woman it won’t go to Labour as long as they continue to undermine women’s hard won rights. Women died to earn those and Labour are too weak to stand up for them.

No,

i vote locally for the best MP, have voted Lib Dem in the past & conservative.

our Tory MP is reasonably good locally, doesn’t support Boris but I have written to say can’t & won’t due to the current shower in charge.

Nothing says "we have so much talent in our party" like bringing back the Prime Minister they got rid of only six weeks ago for breaking his own laws and lying to Parliament about it, because they don't have anyone else.

I'm incredulous that having forced Boris to resign less than 2 months later they're thinking of bringing him back. He's still facing the investigation by the Parliamentary Privileges Committee.

How could Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng have been so stupid as not to have consulted the OBR before announcing that budget. No I said after the fiasco that was Brexit I wouldn't vote Conservative again. But I'm concerned about Labour as under Corbyn they lost their way and I'm not a fan of Keir Starmer.

I live in Cornwall which was a staunch LibDem area but is now Conservative and I've not voted Conservative and won't. Last election I voted for the Labour candidate who would have been a good constituency MP. In my constituency there's no prospective candidate for either Labour or Libdem.
