Much to @DarloRich 's annoyance I suspect and my own shame
That is your choice and I try hard not to criticise people for expressing their democratic right even if it isn't choice I could make. Personally, I would have spoiled my paper. I have never voted Tory and I never will.
I also find their leader repellent and unfit to lead but none of that seems to matter these days. Despite everything we know about Johnson; his behavior, his character, his idleness, his indolence, his mentality, his cronyism, his disregard for the rules he expects us to follow, his history as a proven liar and a philanderer people line up to lick his boots. People seem to think he is a "top bloke". I don't understand this country. I really don't. How can people look at that and think: yep, he is the man for me!
Can someone tell me what Labour actually stand for these days? I am struggling to think of any, and I suspect that is a far more pressing issue for the party than anything else.
I think the problem is that we want a sensible, mature adult in charge of the Labour party so we cant complain if a sensible, mature adult, in global pandemic, decides that things like lock-down needs to be supported. We cant have it both ways.
As that comes to an end Labour need to get out their policy message. IMO it needs to be "aspirational", and show that they can improve lives and chances for people at a more fundamental level than just moving a few low grade treasury jobs to Darlington! They have to show a plan for true "leveling up" and move away from silly student wokey nonsense.
Incredibly, Labour have held seats and also gained seats from the Tories in Canterbury!
Local elections can be bonkers - it only takes one wrong stance on a local issue and you are out!
Are The Conservatives The Natural Party of Government - in England ?
We have a Vote Leave/English National Party government inside a Conservative Party skin suit!
