Shows what you know then doesn't it. Apparently you can't be a Labour voter unless you blindly and unquestioningly follow all left wing policys. I've voted Labour pretty much all my life but not without questioning the party. This is the thing with some of you, you think that just because somebody disagrees with some of Labour's points and agrees with some Conservative policys that makes them and outright Tory voter.

Aye mate. Quite the strawman.

It is getting beyond a joke now ! Yet people still believe in her and her party! You have to question their morals or their sanity ! Somthing definitely not right !
I dont get it Donald all I see is misery,yet these people float along in their own little bubble,surely they can see all the cuts made yet ignore them

Well argued mate, fantastic. Perhaps if you find the time you can explain why not agreeing with lots of Labour policys means I'd vote Conservative? I don't have a closed mind on issues and listen to both sides. I'd never describe myself as a Labour voter (because i think blind party aligances are pathetic) but I've voted for them in pretty much every election since I've been eligible to vote. This type of dismissing a Labour voter because they think differently to some of the more left-wing voters is precisely what puts some off.

Like plenty they have fallen for years of social engineering and now think of themselves above , better and sod everyone else! Class traitors!
 
Its an utter car crash mate.

But questioning someones morals or sanity because they arnt a fully paid up member of the Corbyn Crew is just plain daft.
Who mentioned corbyn in that post ? I was referring to folks who still support the disgrace running the country!
 

Ok.

Seemed to have been the tenor of the thread atm.

FWIW, I dont support May. I think she has been a disaster. As I have repeatedly said, I could not find one reason to support her in the GE. But, neither could I get myself to vote Corbyn. Sorry about that. Makes me evil to some apparently.

So I took a local view. My local MP happens to be Liam Fox, so I voted for him based on a pretty binary local issue. (Not that it made any difference anyrate).

But I do find the tone that emanates from some prongs of the Labour Party support, off putting, if they are attempting to garner votes from many millions of similar minded folk as me. (maybe, zippo stats to back that up)
 
What I'll never understand is why people who vote Tory seem to try so hard to portray themselves as caring people, and they only did it for x or y.

Well, Mr Fox voted against the health social and security amendment today, what's your opinion on that?

Talksport didnt mention it mate.

Not a clue what it was even about.

And that is sort of my point. I aint that engaged in the day to day detail of politics, who voted that way, who voted the other. I really could not care less.

If you cannot see that the reason many, apparently, folk like me feel a touch insulted by being vilified cos they didnt vote for someone else, then I honestly think you never will.

You are right, I am wrong, cos I voted for a flaming railway.
