Why do people keep voting the tortes in again and again

Not wanting an argument, just wondering. Another Tory has been dismissed for dishonesty and day after day we hear of stories about people having to choose between heating and eating. Surely people realise we need a change of government? The NHS and other support services such as teachers are on strike. What next?

I'd vote for a torte any day. Especially a chocolate one.

QuertyGirl · 29/01/2023 18:37

Because Corbyn wore a scruffy jacket?

Because they'd rather save a couple of hundred per year in tax than have a decent society?

Somebody will be along soon to say that they can't say why they voted Tory because it's none of your business and that you're being really mean in even asking this question.

Then they'll cry.

Because there hasn’t been an election since 2019. When were they supposed to have voted them out?

Pinkflipflop85 · 29/01/2023 18:38

Tortes are quite tasty.

MarshaBradyo · 29/01/2023 18:38

Better to ask why Labour keep losing

ReamsOfCheese · 29/01/2023 18:39

Because it takes people too long to realise the cake is a lie.

Because there has been no viable alternative in recent elections.

jetadore · 29/01/2023 18:39

The tories appeal to the “I’m alright Jack” mentality which is coincidentally the mentality of most British people, hence they are very popular.

Bloody love a chocolate torte. Gutted this post is about tories

IMO you sound quite arrogant and very sure of yourself tbh, and though you look down on others for not thinking the same way you do.

Just illuminating this, as you might not be aware of how your words come across to others.

Labour isn't any better? Personably I don't want us to take on any further debit so will vote for the party trying to grow the economy and borrow less be that conservative, labour or Lib Dem. Personally I don't think any party looks after middle Britain anymore so a lot are forced to choose the lesser of two evils.

We are renovating a house and the number of trades that have asked for cash shows the level of tax avoidance in this country. It isn't just the wealthy. From my experience over the last year it's anyone not PAYE!! We got offered 3k off building an extension if we had 10k in cash, sure mate give me 5 minutes to move the mattress 😉😂🤣

MelchiorsMistress · 29/01/2023 18:41

Because they think the alternative will be worse for them, obviously.

Mmmm Sachertorte 😍

User17498765 · 29/01/2023 18:42

OP don't make sense, as PP said there hasn't been an election since 2019.

I might just have some torte instead

vodkaredbullgirl · 29/01/2023 18:42

Never voted Tory in my life.

Prefer an almond one myself

HasaDigaEebowai · 29/01/2023 18:42

Because they’re big flans

Are you a magician, or the assistant?

Because tory voters are elderly and the elderly are guaranteed the triple pension lock by the tories.

But don't worry, they won't win the next election ( a good election to lose if ever there was one 😁) and then Kier and the cavelry will come along and save us all.

WendyAndClyde · 29/01/2023 18:42

Probably because the opposition is shit. So it's a choice between really shit and super shit. I guess people decided to choose really shit.

Againstmachine · 29/01/2023 18:43

Because labour chase the same floating votes as the torys and they don't have much more to offer.

Labour could try and creat a new voting base for their selves but are too lazy to do it

QuertyGirl · 29/01/2023 18:44

@Keyansier

See my previous post.

That's you, that is

PortiasBiscuit · 29/01/2023 18:44

Coz the opposition are shit!
