Current Affairs The Conservative Party

alright jack ii does it on purpose. wait for the GE, exodus.

Fingers crossed there's a particularly cold winter to thin the deluded Tory voters out.

You really do not understand how life pans out do you. Yes the Tory people die off. That’s because after the age of 35-40 people grow up and become Tories if they weren’t already, so older, more experienced and wiser people become Tories…then we die off…but still remain the majority…….

It's not to do with age. It's wealth and homeownership.

Apparently many millenials aren't displaying that drift. Because they're broke and haven't brought houses.

Nice dip in the local river or sea in coming summer should be enough to finish them off. What better way to go with mouthful of their own faeces, British Conservatism at its finest.

This will never happen. If this was true, conservatism would have died off a long time ago. It hasn't. For every 80-something tory voter that dies, a 40-something voter switches from Labour to the Conservatives.

With age comes wisdom, experience and responsibility. This usually overrides youthful, naive ideology.

Please tell all wise Torieslol, and solve this math riddle, if we have 20,000 police persons and then get rid of 20,000 persons and then rehire 20,000 police persons, how many extra police persons do we have?

Anyway you are talking absolute "Boris" (bull poop) the centre and left vote is split between 3 or 4 political parties depending where you in UK. While right of centre have Tories once Brexit Party was stood down. Reform Party (Brexit Party) is out for revenge and are in no mood to compromise, my Tory MP 58% of the vote 2019 is crapping himself and is likely to loose to Lib Dems.

I agree with this point that generally older people views change and this does reflect a change in their political view. However, the millennials are the first generation in history that are worse off than their parents (money, home ownership, debt). The gen Z's coming up behind us - even worse. That'll leave a lasting legacy and confirms the short-termism of the conservative party over the past decade.

This circle of life is coming to an end.

I’ve mention this before, but have got further left wing the older I’ve got.

Remember that a lot of the older Tory voters will talk about the chaos of the 70s and many did well for themselves in the 80s.
Newer generations don’t have these associations so much which is part of the reason why the party has been more willing to lean towards right wing populist rhetoric to try and remain relevant.

This is an interesting point and definitely holds some truth. However, having spent considerable time down south (outside London) I can tell you that Conservatism is the only option for most of the folk down there. It's a deep-seated and generational thing. A lot of them display an unhealthy and illogical disregard for Northern people. The usual stereotypes of wastrels, connivers, and leeches were descriptions I would come across in conversations quite a few times. Some of them even had the brass neck to do it to my face not understanding the offense it would cause. These types for the most part will always vote blue and there are millions of them down there. It always flabbergasts me therefore when Northerners (especially the red wall) vote Tory! It was an odd situation for me because I like all types of folks. I prefer to see the good in people. Maybe that's a bad thing, I dunno! If somehow the SNP vote can be replaced by a labour vote in Scotland then maybe Labour has a chance. Conservatism in the traditional sense doesn't sit well with modern UK. We need a different, less antiquated approach going forward if we are to be more united people.

It appears to be regressing though, 'generation tate' for instance.

I own a house and due to retire in three years, you would have to put a gun to my head for me to vote Tory i actually think they are a disease, extremely selfish, uncaring people, I'm no Saint be the first to admit and as I've grown older and hopefully wiser am more determined than ever to vote Labour, which I will until I die simple.

With age comes selfishness, racism and resentment. This usually overrides youthful, naive ideology.

Fixed that for you

0nce again the''chaos of the 70s'' is mentioned.
Let nobody forget that the first miner's strike,the 3 day week,the petrol rationing,the electricity outages, etc. During 1973/4 Took place under a Heath Tory government.
They're constantly reminded about the winter of discontent under the later Callaghan labour government.

I don’t disagree but it’s a phrase rolled out by Tory voters all the time

So, it's about time anti Tory voters put them right.
They're trying to rewrite history.

I think these kind of riddles should be directed towards Dianne Abbot... previous Shadow Home Secretary. She had a good grasp on policing numbers...

That was sarcasm... If needed, I can post a link, or two, or many...
