The Tories will win because such a large percentage of voters are idiots. I mean, I get why many of the well off vote Tory as it's selfish self interest. But why the hell would anyone on less than 50K vote Conservative, let alone anyone working class? It's like watching Turkeys voting for Christmas FFS.
Maybe because...
they intend not being on sub £50k forever
Temporarily frustrated millionaires! Of course! Not.
they have benefited from low interest rates and low inflation over the past several years
And why is that? Because of the GLOBAL financial crisis
they have kids in a good school
No kids.
they have some affiliation with the armed forces which Corbyn doesn't approve of
Is that the armed forces that are being whittled down, by this government ? Along with emergency services.
they remember how Labour **** it up last time
As I stated above, GLOBAL financial crisis
they realise that more borrowed money can't be the answer to everything
Neither is cuts to public health spending
they think May's a strong leader
Stronger that Corbyn maybe, but that wouldn't be difficult. With another leader, the Tories -IMO would face a very serious opposition
they think she's more committed to Brexit than Corbyn
Remember, 48% of those who voted, wanted us to stay
they believe May will curb immigration
Immigration that Brexit secretary David Davies said we will have to increase, post Brexit
they've heard Corbyn, Abbott, McDonnell and Rayner unable to answer the most basic of questions
Hmmmm, ok then, one!
There's ten for starters.
Everyone is middle class or aspiring middle class and he's offering them nothing.
Wrong again! I'm happy with my status
The question you should be asking is why Labour don't understand their voters any more.
Easy. Because they're split, Corbyn is a fly in the ointment for some, the Messiah for others. Or a very naughty boy!
The poll is at 17/18. I might be the only one making the case but there are plenty more out there.
