I think it was one of our college lecturers who said (just prior to the 1979 election, when I was a second year apprentice);
" ............ if you vote a Conservative at 18, you have no heart but if you still vote Conservative when you are 48 you have no brains."
He was an ex-miner and he did have his tongue firmly in his cheek (and great mentor he was too), but I would still disagree, or maybe I don't have any brains?
It'd probably have more income if I voted Tory (v Labour), but in my opinion, the country is a better place when the system is fairer for those who have less and will never have the means to get out of the hole they are in. But as I said before, Brexit has been an unmitigated disaster for me. I think anyone who does not have any experience of running a small business, where you have to import (and export) to the EU cannot begin to understand the chaos this has and will continue to bring.
They pay a high proportion of tax in Scandinavia apparently. Well I've worked there recently and prices are high, but no one complains and I have yet to see a boarded-up shop (or any other run down property) or pot-holed road. The place also has a general air of tidyness about it, very little discarded chewing gum and simple things like fallen leaves swept-up before they become a sodden mush glued to the pavement and gutter, so they must be doing something right in their "high tax" society?
