To be a secret Tory voter and feel embarrassed about it?

I’ve just gone to do my vote and had to admit to myself that I’m one of those secret Tory voters and would be embarrassed to admit it to friends / family!

A month ago I was adamant that I would be voting Labour but ended up changing my mind for a number of reasons

  1. Keir seems to have a number of grand ideas of what he wants to do but no substance behind how he’s going to do it (where is he going to find an additional 6,500 teachers as just 1 example)
  2. Womens rights
  3. my Labour candidate has been helicoptered in and doesn’t look good on paper whereas the Tory candidate is a local, well respected councillor
  4. Tory policy is closer to my values overall

anyone else had to admit to themselves that they are a Tory at heart for this election?

If you hate the NHS, love sewage in the rivers, like your politicians with an extra side of corruption, incompetence and venality and want several more years of the country being ground down, sold off and an increase in equality while a small group of desperate people fleeing conflict are being scapegoated for Tory policies, then good for you. I would be proud of this fact and shout it out loud and vote locally for someone who supports this ethos of government.

At least Kami “the treasury is my personal bank account” Badenoch knows what a woman is? Right?
