To say don't vote Tory

[Horsesandzebras]

Little poll really to see how Mumsnetters feel towards the Tory Party

YANBU = I dislike how the Torys have managed the country
YABU = I like how the Tories have managed the country

I know it's unreasonable to tell you how to vote. I just think it will be interesting to guage their popularity on here.

Tory Bot bingo

• Outrageous lies (at very least highly selective picks) about salaries
• Spells Rayner Raynor
• Runs away when called out

Weren’t you telling people to vote for Hancock in I’m a Celebrity a couple of weeks ago? You were never going to vote anything but Tory.

MN left leaning ? In your dreams 🙄 10 years ago maybe.
Definitely been an influx of right wing posters. A few weeks ago there were literally 3 or 4 concurrent threads about KS and none vaguely positive.

No chance. These threads always go the same way.

😆

I love how we've had such names as "wokie lefties" already, sounds like something my toddler would say (he's still learning how to pronounce words correctly and comes out with random babble a lot too). 😂
Also basing your voting on an MN post... All I'll say is "oh dear". 🤦‍♀️

Regarding politics, you shouldn't identify as anything, because you clearly know nothing about politics. Supporting the Green Party makes you a leftie. Good grief. It's really worrying that people like you get to vote.

@PurpleButterflyWings no one is calling anyone thick, uneducated or racist.
But if you continue to vote against your own interests I don't think it's wrong to wonder if some one is a bit politically naive. Hence Grimsby fishermen are now worse off, likewise some british farmers, small business owners who depended on EU workers.
My town is an economically depressed northern sh**hole. We now have 2 tory MPs out of 3 and a tory dominated council all because of brexit. Have things improved, no. Do our young people have the same opportunities as those in the SE now, what with --non existent levelling up and the exodus of EU citizens, nope. Nothing has changed. Forgive me if I think some folk up here are deluded.

Are you a wokie leftie then? Did I hit a raw nerve?

.........no one is calling anyone thick, uneducated or racist.

Are you new here? You MUST be if you have never seen people calling Tory voters thick uneducated racists!

@MarshaBradyo sorry but the fact that you were spouting RW tropes only last week proves my point. 'Politics of envy' says well off southerner 😂...

I've always voted Tory, was considering changing,, but more and more I see posts telling me not to vote Tory, vote Labour, name calling of Tory voters etc, so that's convinced me to vote Tory again.

I don't know, wokie isn't a word so I can't say, and I don't know how I'm politically aligned, to be honest. I don't have a party of choice in the UK. But no, even a direct insult on MN wouldn't bother me, so no harm done.

Schroedinger’s Tory - both thick and uneducated AND a public-school toff.

You're joking of course?

You MUST be if you have never seen people calling Tory voters thick uneducated racists!

And calling people “wokie lefties” is so much more civilised. 🙄

Yeh no dice. But you do fit the bill for Labour voter trying to tell others how to vote.

Not interested. You can vote how you like and I will do the same.

Labour voters and left need to let go of trying to control others.

@PurpleButterflyWings you've called people woke lefties ?
Your party of choice has been in power years. Blindly defending them whatever is just daft. The country is falling apart. If you can't see that then yes you are deluded.

I will look at the manifestos and the political picture at the next GE.

I wont be manipulated by the bonus offers the PM throws around to get my vote in the run up to the election.

I don't see as being pigeon wholed a leftie or a rightie really matters. I like some policies from different parties. What I will be voting for is the leader and my trust in their abilty to deliver it. I will decide which party can deliver the best possible outcome for all.

No need to be rude by the way.

I haven't run away 😂Some of us actually work for a living y'know!

Anyone that calls another a 'bot' should be banned. Remember the rules.

I will wait for Labour to recognise my vagina, ovaries and ability to create life, and to take a few history lessons about the suffragettes before I would even consider them as a 'serious' contender. My rights are not for sale.

👏🏻👏🏻

It's incredible really, but there's always one.

I’m with you. Labour voters like pp getting angry that people won’t vote in the way they want and / or calling people bots. Same old.

Why would this be a joke? Do people really not see how annoying it is to be constantly told/hectored/instructed to do something? And usually be called a thick idiot at the same time? It pushes people the other way; that applies for anything in life.

That is just plain wrong.

No, it’s plain right.
