Current Affairs How old were you when you grew up and stopped voting Labour?

[rascal]

Embarrassingly, in my 20s and I've just recently stopped being a member of Labour.

 

[roydo]

Never voted for Labour. Arsed.

Might do soon mind. I am doing the reverse of what most seem to do.

a lot of new mothers are only in labour for a few hours, hope that helps.

Embarrassingly, in my 20s and I've just recently stopped being a member of Labour.

I've always been 'progressive' in my worldview but have voted against Labour on at least two occasions in the past (never for the thieving Tories or U-skip, of course). In 2010 I joined the Labour Party just because I was appalled that bunch of Old Etonians had somehow seized power and because, really, in a post-Financial Crisis world, if you can't see that the ruling class are feathering their beds and laughing at us then you're some sort of thicko div. Hence I am, at the age of 53, more leftwing than I've ever been and am now an active member of my local branch.

How old were you when you sold your soul to the devil and supported a conservative agenda?

Should be the title.

I havnt been arsed to actually join a party, never ever been in one anyrate. Unless the cubs count. But we are a very similar age, and I do share what you say. Sommet aint right, not sure how to fix it is my position these days.

In essence, I rub along.

I was 13 when I read Ayn Rand, and about 13 + 1 month when I realized it was cringeworthy fairy tale garbage.

How old will you be when, having already grown bored with Islam, you discard conservatism for something new and shiny?

I'll wager your current age + 1-2 months

Sold your soul to the devil of capitalism, for shame

Tory WOOL.

Never understood why capitalism is seen as some enemy or something. Its, to me, a less than perfect system that those who take the risks can benefit personally, but only if what they offer is actually wanted by folk.

You are posting from a phone or a tablet or something that is a direct effect of a reasonably successful capitalist company.

I didn't say it was an enemy of anything. What I suggested was shameful was the idea that you reach a point when you somehow 'grow out of' having a social conscience, usually as your own personal wealth grows to a level where it's personally more beneficial to vote Tory due to their lower taxation stance.

Bugger Off.

Bit late to find a conscience, Heidi.
