I have noticed that in the last 2 days I have come across 2 women who state that they do not like tories. Without getting into the politics of it (I am not a Tory fyi), is this kind of discrimination acceptable on here? If I put no gays / TVs / whites / blacks etc it would not be acceptable. I thought we were all a pretty liberal laid back bunch on here and this does annoy me.

Personally I'm getting sick of it.

You cannot go on Twitter without people banging on about them.

And besides why should politics dictate a sexual encounter? Why would you even want to discuss such a serious topic?

You cannot choose the colour of your skin, the nationality of your birth or your sexuality. You do however choose your political allegiance. Discrimination against a part of someone they have no n day in is bigotry. Discrimination against certain beliefs is perfectly acceptable. That is why we don't have laws banning gay people but do have laws nabbing membership of certain groups.

Personally, I believe that categorising someone by their political party without seeking to understand why they vote the way they do is close minded though I will admit that a Tory would have to work harder to convince me they're a nice person than say a Lib Dem voter.

Yes it is acceptable.

People have reasons that only they will truly understand as to why they won't meet certain demographics that may have huge or no baring about the person as a whole person.

I won't meet people with the same name as my ex. Am I a discriminatory wankstain or someone who doesn't want to put either myself or someone with that name in an awkward position?

I wouldn't want to meet a gang member or a football hooligan. Choices based on behaviours.

I’ll decide who I have sex with consensually. If they’re a Tory and voted to leave they can fuck off. Both have made my family, friends and my life more difficult. So if they’re ignorant that’s their issue not mine.

Add in Daily Mail and Sun readers, they can fuck off as well.

political view is not a protective characteristic under the discrimination or hate crime act, it covers only actual or perceived, race, religion, sexual orientation, disability and transgender.

Tories have always been game for abuse, because most are smart and successful , not the politicians, they’re thick, but are what thick people think clever people should look and sound like. E.g Boris , Matt Hancock — both very dim.

It’s a love hate thing, you lot always vote for them , then never shut up moaning about them and pretend you didn’t vote for them.

It’s not discriminatory to decline mixing with people based on their choices.

There are lots of straight male profiles that say no gay guys/no TVs etc.

Saying “no Tories” is no different to saying no racists, no bigots, no football fans, no men that abandon their kids, no women that are bitchy to other women, no people who are into one offs, no people who are looking for more than a one off etc. It’s declining to mix with someone who has made a life choice that isn’t compatible with your life choices.

It is possible to be a Tory and to vote Tory and to be a Tory that is a far greater human being than a Socialist or Liberal or Communist without agreeing with every single policy that your party claim to uphold / believe in. Tories on the inside campaign to change their own party.

Before the knee jerkers leap on their Fischer Price keyboards.......... I am not a Tory.

My views tend to be as unbiased as i'm capable of and I don't have much time for people who claim to hate this and that but cannot answer a simple question about this and that ...... Blind Faith and Hatred is all they offer.

I’m someone who exclusively doesn’t meet Tories on this site. I just don’t want to risk it. It’s more of a safety thing for me. Unfortunately there are a lot of overlapping links between right-winged people and discrimination/abuse of LGBTQ people.

I (as a bisexual cis woman) personally probably wouldn’t experience potential danger as much as say a trans woman would, but why would I risk it?

Absolutely amazed at some of the generalisations on here. How do you account for the number of traditionally Labour seats lost to the Conservatives at the last election? Brexit? A dislike of Corbyn? Who knows, people made choices and they'll probably return to Labour. They did what they felt was right at that time.

To say you have nothing in common with a Tory voter is a little crass. How would you know unless you asked them or they told you?

This is one of those arguments which, unless it’s properly thrashed out, will get all sorts of heat.

But if you put the torch to some of the stuff being thrown out, it’ll fall to pieces under scrutiny. In 2022 it’s trendy to bash political parties whether that be Labour, Tory or Lib Dems.

I don't know really....

I think that people can choose who they want to meet and invest time with. Not saying I agree or disagree.

It's like reading profiles that say no beards.... Well bugger ok not the type of person for me.

But I will ponder why I find it more acceptable to say no Tories than no (insert ethnic or sexual preference here).

I have no love of the Tory party. But I love some Tory voters (if a little bewildered by them ).

They are what engaging in what is known as social activism, which is apparently cool to them.

You know the sort, agree with me and parrot what I say or you are a Nazi.

Most folk who say "no Tories" cannot clearly define what they consider a Tory to be.

Those that do define a Tory tend to define a straw man that nobody who actually is conservative would be anyway.

Long story short, they're stupid and we just ignore them.

We don't want to be intimate with anybody we don't get on with. We have certain values that are important to us which are reflected in our political views. If somebody is vehemently opposed to our views it's entirely possible that we just wouldn't get on. I can't imagine us getting on with a Trump supporter for example. It would just grate against us.

So if people find Tory values (or those of any political party) reprehensible, then I think they should be perfectly at liberty to say they don't see it leading to anything intimate.

It's not remotely similar.

You don't choose the colour of your skin and only a dumb fuck would assume that represents what goes on in your mind.

Your political choices however represent how you view the world.

I'm only joking about the Tories (otherwise I'd have no friends at all in real life!) In actual fact I've even had sex with a few but I can understand why some would try to avoid the disappointing sex you get from them.

I don’t really agree with anything the current Tories are doing even remotely. I wouldn’t let the generalization of Tory=bad stop me from speaking to someone though. Strikes me as a shallow stance, defining a person by a single aspect. However people have filters for quickness so I’m not judging.

I can’t even imagine asking someone’s political views, religion or anything else along those lines before meeting someone. It’s definitely not something I’d choose to discuss at a social either.

Those kind of conversations might come up naturally, possibly if you meet them again, people can be opposites but an open mind to listen to other points of view of a topic is needed.

Or we could simply say nothing and accept that not everyone is gonna wanna fuck everyone else, and sometimes it won't make sense to other people, but.... that's life.

There will be people who won't wanna put their meat in me due to my use of the word cunt which they don't like. *shrugs* no skin off my nose.

There will be people who don't wanna swap body juice with me because I have views they don't agree with. *shrugs* no skin off my nose.

Sex is intimate.

If people don't wanna be intimate with others I'm pretty certain it's not hurting anyone on a greater good level.

I'm willing to bet they'd feed those same people if they knocked the door starving, they just don't want to go against their own values in the intimacy department.

Why should people go against their values to satisfy someone else's sexual desire? Bit non consensual that.

I do wonder sometimes if some people think the boundaries of politics is limited to which posh twat is sitting centre stage.

Political views are so far reaching that it has its hand in almost all aspects of life.

Racism, sexism, human rights, quality of life, animal rights, laws, healthcare, education, poverty, and so many more.

Certain aspects and views will most certainly clash with your views at some point.

If somebody voted torie, it would not stop me with conversing and interacting with them. However the extent of their views on certain subjects most certainly would create a cut off point.

Point is I know why and understand why people would not want to interact or associate with certain political supporters, as their allegiance may very well indirectly support something that conflicts with a topic close to another person's core values. Even if the person in question does not support that particular topic.

I like balance, I like discussion, I'm open to sharing things and views, but I dislike extremists (exists on both sides of the fence).

You're not a bad person.

I don't know much about the people in the bnp as the fizzled out rather quickly but yes even the nazis had good people as members before they realised Hitler was a raving lunatic, how do you think he got elected. The edl were never a political party or even a membership for that matter but yes they to had decent people supporting them.

The thing is people won't sleep with who they don't want to sleep with. You can't make them. Be that for racial reasons, political reasons, reasons of sexuality, music tastes etc etc. I'd prefer people to be out in the open so we all know what we're dealing with. I'll start the ball rolling, I don't sleep with men or people who have ideological opinions on racial superiority. I am I one of these discriminatory people you talk about? I really didn't think I was controversial?

Surely everyone has sovereignty over how they use their bodies and express their sexuality. There a different between being simply clear on your sexual preferences and pushing hatred.

Nothing wrong with conservative in terms of politics. Conservatism, Liberalism, Social Democracy. It is all needed otherwise you finish up with autocracy.

But at this point the Tories, as an organisation, are at the top a cabal of criminals and ponces.

"Absolutely amazed at some of the generalisations on here. How do you account for the number of traditionally Labour seats lost to the Conservatives at the last election? Brexit? A dislike of Corbyn? Who knows, people made choices and they'll probably return to Labour. They did what they felt was right at that time.

To say you have nothing in common with a Tory voter is a little crass. How would you know unless you asked them or they told you?

Just gobsmacked"

How do you explain it?

“Manipulation” would be the most succinct explanation I can muster. Very sophisticated and deep. The face value stuff just scratches their surface. It worked a treat and probably will again as those engineering it will change up and employ different tactics.

What happens next time around when all are a little older and wiser will be a very interesting observation.

Very much depends on the objective you seek with that vote. What’s bad for some os good for others.

If we’re honest about it - i think most of us vote for what makes ourselves and our family better off. Ever if that ends up with the undesirable consequence of making other markedly worse off. How we adjudge that and the level of personal hypocrisy we can tolerate is difference in that vote. Many a champagne socialist will swing their vote at hints of taxing private education for example.

Sadly the choices we have these days are between the greedy, unscrupulous and inept and those who have no clue.

Rich keep getting richer though. So “i’m alright jack” will prevail.

Next phase will certainly be interesting to observe voter behaviour. The pain thresholds will be severely tested.

There's a difference in discriminating against things people have no control over (skin colour for example) and discriminating against someone due to an intellectual choice (like politics)

I personally think anyone who's religious is batshit insane and would never enter into any type of relationship with them.

I don't personally have "no tories" on my profile as I believe in positive preferences. If someone preferred slim women they could say that and it would be positive not negative towards a group of people. But at the end of the day I think that choosing not to sleep with someone for any reason is fair and arguing about it won't change anything.

We're talking about having sex, not separate water fountains.

I know some folk will literally bang anyone who'll let them but in general people have some personal guidelines that are shaped through experiences and values.... not to mention attraction.

Now, I could (but don't) find Fred West a looker but his decision making and life choices being all murdery etc would put me right off.

Should I not discriminate and shag him anyway? (pretending he's not dead and walking free), after all we simply have different values.

You say where do you draw the line? That can work both ways so how about we let people give their bodies to who they feel comfortable with and not try to guilt people for having personal values, standards and boundaries.

Meh, I'm a tory member (once was Labour voter) and my wife is more lib dem and her family are lib Dems.... My opinion of this is....

People have the right to say what they view as right for them, if it's no tories then they are fair to do that.

I think political discourse has broken down and we have become a society of polarised people. I don't get why people say that tories are anti this or anti that. Parties have lost what they were good at during recent times, Labour has drifted to the left and Conservatives to the centre.

Peoples outlook on life differs from what they read or view online.

I have never had anyone ask me what my political orientation is before a meet and probably never will. I think it's easier to get along with people of opposing viewpoints though and it creates stimulating conversations.

Your example of fred west is one particular person who obviously isn’t very nice and I would advise against a meet with any murderer… however to blanket brush probably 50% of the adult population as being a Tory and therefore a total scumbag seems a bit ridiculous and fascist.

This wasn’t intended as a political discussion. It was intended as a cry against discrimination.

We're talking about having sex, not separate water fountains.

I know some folk will literally bang anyone who'll let them but in general people have some personal guidelines that are shaped through experiences and values.... not to mention attraction.

Now, I could (but don't) find Fred West a looker but his decision making and life choices being all murdery etc would put me right off.

Should I not discriminate and shag him anyway? (pretending he's not dead and walking free), after all we simply have different values.

You say where do you draw the line? That can work both ways so how about we let people give their bodies to who they feel comfortable with and not try to guilt people for having personal values, standards and boundaries.

Your example of fred west is one particular person who obviously isn’t very nice and I would advise against a meet with any murderer… however to blanket brush probably 50% of the adult population as being a Tory and therefore a total scumbag seems a bit ridiculous and fascist. "

When did she do that?

No dude, trying to guilt trip people into shagging those who aren't on their "would like to fuck" radar is a shitty move and you don't like that I've broadened the spectrum because you asked the question "where do you draw the line?" and it took it the other direction. What makes it different? I'm not saying tories are murderers far from it but the concept is the same, why shouldn't they get a ride eh? They just made different life choices and decisions, just have differing values...

I don't do politics and couldn't give a flying one who votes for who but what I do do is absolutely accept and understand that sex, that access to your body is the LAST thing you have when you have nothing at all, even when you've lost your mind and don't know your own name. It's the last fucking sacred thing you have. Spouting people should give that up because it's unfair and discriminatory if they don't is a dick move.

People make their own decisions on who they do and don't want to touch them and that's exactly how it should stay, even if you or anyone else doesn't agree with how they came to that decision.

And to add, I never once said Tories are scumbags. I personally don't care what colour rosette anyone wears.

But it DOES matter to some, and that's where choice comes into it. But that's not allowed it seems.

It fucks me off massively. Its my BODY.

I'll feed someone who's values I don't agree with.

I'll jump in the water and save someone who's values I don't agree with even though I'd probably need saving too.

I can respect that we have different values ffs, but it makes me wanna vomit that people think they can try to guilt you into wondering if you're a bad person for not wanting to have sex with someone or a group of someones.

You’ve missed the point. You have as much choice as you like. Just don’t tar everyone with the same brush. Some tories are twats. Some labour are twats. Some Monster Raving Loony are twats. But there will always also be nice people who happened to have voted one way or another. To just dismiss all these people just feels wrong.

I don't think anyone has said all tories are twats. I'm sure there are some very nice tories out there somewhere, but I wouldn't date a tory because I choose not to be intimate with people whose fundamental ideology and value judgements are so opposed to mine.

Again, I'll go back to my original example of not tarring everyone with the same brush however still exercising my choice. I won't get intimate with people who have the same name as my ex. That dismisses many many people, lots of whom are probably really fucking lovely and decent human beings.

I will not put them or myself in an uncomfortable or awkward situation.

I feel you've missed the point, because you can't seem to grasp the fact it's not about tarring people with the same brush in the slightest, it's about being comfortable in your decision amd choices when vulnerable (because yes, we can be incredibly vulnerable physically and emotionally where sex and intimacy are concerned) and by not accepting that some people simply don't want to get intimate with certain others for whatever reason they have, you're practically telling then they're out of order and wrong.

Sound. I'll be a wrong un if it keeps me and others comfortable. Just make sure you shag anyone and everyone who's available to you regardless of your attraction to them, their gender, their everything, no matter how icky or uncomfortable it makes you feel.

I think what should be recognised is that this government has utterly destroyed the brand of a traditional Tory government.

In historical terms this government is so far right and has abandoned the traditional belief’s of Tory governments( like Edmund Burke).

The party has essentially been under the power of the ERG since BJ came to power and resembles more the Brexit party than anything else.

Tory voters need to realise this- it’s no longer the Tory party of old and that’s why so many people currently dislike the party.

BJ won the election by a landslide but now he is going to destroy the party and leave a legacy of damage. There will be a lot of Tory voters who will just not vote in the next election

To be honest it seems a fairly appropriate way to limit people you are more than likely not going to get on with. I personally would share very little in common with someone verging on the far left or far right ends of the political spectrum, however I still see that people vote blue or red who are closer to the centre ground so would not personally say no purely on how they voted. But I would not be interested in someone who said outwardly “no tories” as frankly to me that indicates they are going to be closer to the extremes of their political beliefs.

Why shouldn't there be?

Someone's politics are neither taboo nor irrelevant to those of us who want to like and respect the people we have sex with.

Mistaking green/liberal with populism.

Either way, he knew the Tories had a ceiling when playing to the fiscal hard right. Cameron peaked at 11 million votes despite promising a referendum. May had to move away from mentioning austerity. Corbyn (yes Jeremy fn Corbyn), with the most daring manifesto since Foot, managed nearly 13 million.

That's why they might seem a different type of conservative. Really it's just about playing his own varying ideological MPs off against each other.

"You cannot choose the colour of your skin, the nationality of your birth or your sexuality. You do however choose your political allegiance. Discrimination against a part of someone they have no n day in is bigotry. Discrimination against certain beliefs is perfectly acceptable. That is why we don't have laws banning gay people but do have laws nabbing membership of certain groups.

Personally, I believe that categorising someone by their political party without seeking to understand why they vote the way they do is close minded though I will admit that a Tory would have to work harder to convince me they're a nice person than say a Lib Dem voter.

yes money for exploration and development how good would it be if they could produce a coal that is clean or even petrol? and do you really think that money would go to the public? Doing away with the green levy would put hundreds of pounds directly back in peoples pockets immediately.

I know it gives you a sense of moral superiority but do you actually believe you care more for poor people than tory voters? Everyone wants people to thrive and be prosperous its good for the whole country the only difference is how they go about it.

To this big thread, there are many reasons why people do not want to meet people of certain political affiliations, but tbh, it doesn't make much of a difference, its not like our political preferences are tattooed on our foreheads, when you are all naked and aroused are you going to ask someone what political party they support? or what they think of interest rates increasing, ultimate mood killer.

In historical terms this government is so far right and has abandoned the traditional belief’s of Tory governments( like Edmund Burke).

The party has essentially been under the power of the ERG since BJ came to power and resembles more the Brexit party than anything else.

Tory voters need to realise this- it’s no longer the Tory party of old and that’s why so many people currently dislike the party.

BJ won the election by a landslide but now he is going to destroy the party and leave a legacy of damage. There will be a lot of Tory voters who will just not vote in the next election So far right are you having a laugh? boris and his mrs have turned the tory party into the green / liberal party.

So you're green liberal?Nope im not happy the direction the party is taking personally with rising fuel prices i would like to see the scrapping of the green levy to reduce the bills for the poorest.

What about instead, reducing the fossil fuel subsidies that dwarf the "green levy". Helping the environment, and poorest people.

Although being a Tory and caring about poor people is usually mutually exclusive. Lol.You think that would really help? i would think it would just push prices even higher i dont think you have thought this through.Nice to see you pushing the old labour propaganda that tories dont care about poor people though you cant beat a good generalization.

"Labour propaganda" lolz.

I mean the "fuck the poor" party don't care about poor people. Claiming they do is beyond ridiculous. Just pick any Tory, and look at their voting record. Case closed.

Anyways, if your interested in understanding fossil fuels subsidies and their cost to the tax payer, purely to prop up the oil multi nationals, Vs the relative miniscule amount of green tax, designed to help save the planet from ecological catastrophy. There's plenty of information out there. It's nothing to do with me thinking it through. The information is publicly available. yes money for exploration and development how good would it be if they could produce a coal that is clean or even petrol? and do you really think that money would go to the public? Doing away with the green levy would put hundreds of pounds directly back in peoples pockets immediately.

I know it gives you a sense of moral superiority but do you actually believe you care more for poor people than tory voters? Everyone wants people to thrive and be prosperous its good for the whole country the only difference is how they go about it."

No moral superiority. But if why would anyone who gives a shit about poor people vote Tory. That seems a bit far fetched. Even for this forum.

The current government have absolutely no interest in the country thriving.

Put simply. They should not. But people can sometimes be selfish and self serving. We all are to some degree. To think otherwise is unrealistic, naive or hypocritical.

By all measures “we” (the couple behind this profile, it is mr who posts 99% of the time) should be Tory voters. Both well onto 45% tax bracket, kids in private school (so where is our tax rebate for that?) private health care (again no tax rebate? Combined pad well over 100k in taxes las year…. So why don’t we vote Tory?

The answer is simple. Yes “we’re alright jack” and will continue to be so. But we recognise that the vast majority of the population is suffering under this regime:

State school standards are falling

Public healthcare is falling and waiting lists ate growing to years and years fir essential treatment.

50% of the population will soon have to choose between heating and food.

The rich are getting richer at a far grater rate than the avg standard of living for most citizens.

The list of inequalities goes on and on.

Do we believe “freeloaders” should get a cheap ride? NO!

But do we get sucked into the rhetoric that normal, hard working people who are trying to make ends meet should be fucked here to sunday so that people on huge wages and riches should save a few quid on their tax bill? HELL NO! could not sleep at night thinking we voted for that!!!

The ERG brigade influenced Tory party are interested in ONE thing. And that is to return the majority back to victorian (fiscal) values of servitude and obedience ti the paymasters.

I would rater pay 10, 20k more in tax to a government which showed some compassion, human decencey and still fostered free market enterprise than get the same in tax advantage from a corrupt shit heap of a government that was only interested in lining own pockets and to hell with wider society.

This is why We think Tories are wankers and those that will continue to vote for them are CUNTS.

TLDR; Put simply; Current Tory voters don’t care about thier fellow citizens. Only the well off. Simple as

You support a party that crushes the poor and has removed a third of the benefits of disabled people. But your not a bad person, ignorant maybe

( the list goes on) is far from a green/ liberal party and more in line with a Kleptocratic/ authoritarian regime.

"Don't think anyone has ever asked me about politics before a meet. I am a Tory but that does not make me a bad person. The bad people are those who judge. "

Ok. So, you're not a bad person. Judgement isn't a bad thing either - we all do it, all the time. Even you.

However, if you vote Tory, you are happy to give your consent to policies which protect the wealth of the rich and waste billions of pounds worth of taxpayers' money - whilst, at the same time, increasing homelessness, poverty and hunger amongst the less fortunate and more vulnerable of your fellow citizens - and, if they have any, their children.

Some Tories, may well be "nice people" - but, collectively, they support the current government and its leader. He is, like it or not, due to his not taking Covid seriously when he was first warned about it, responsible for tens of thousands of avoidable deaths.

Not that that matters to any Tory voter - because Brexit/vaccine/economy/Russia, etc.

You can't be "a little bit Tory". You either support them or you don't. You're responsible for empowering those who do bad things in your name - and seeking to take credit for only the good? That's infantile; like your current leader.

I understand why Tories get upset when people use foul language to describe them - it can't be pleasant; but it's not done without justification.

It's based on entirely reasonable judgements on the character of the people they vote for and the damage their policies do to millions of human beings every day.

It's pretty alarming to think that people actually think the Tories are too kind, and too concerned about the environment and should be even more right wing and self serving.

It's about choice and personal preferences on here as far as I see.

Do you think working class people were naive enough to think they'd be better off with Boris and the Tories?

I'd suggest they vote the way they always have, or the way the media tells them to. 5 minutes research would show them that the Tories don't give a fuck about them. Personally, I suspect there's too much voter apathy, and a lack of interest in what they're actually voting for.

Many of us will believe that Tories have deeply unpleasant, regressive views and politics which does untold damage to lots of people.

I see these things at different levels:

1) Legal - They have all the rights to not want to be friends with people with different political ideologies.

2) Moral - Again, it's their life. They have all the rights to make that choice. Unless they are denying services/jobs, I wouldn't make it a moral concern.

3) Intelligence - I consider these people phenomenally stupid and stay away from them. My parents and even myself never voted for same party repeatedly. To deny oneself of the opportunity to befriend someone because they vote for another party is one of the dumbest things to do.

This used to be an American problem where people are very much polarised. Democrats and republicans used to hate each other. With social media, they have exported the problem to other countries.

It's based on entirely reasonable judgements on the character of the people they vote for and the damage their policies do to millions of human beings every day.i find most people i know are neither tory or labour they usualy tick the box of the partý that they think will benefit them personaly lots of em who voted tory last time have also voted lib dem and labour in the past,think its a small minority who consider themselves tory or labour supporters the majority of people are floating voters who vote for whats best for them personaly,who knows next general election they may decide to vote labour if they ever let people onow what there offering mabey even the lib dems will win if they offer the majority of the country what will benefit them personaly,fact is most people do whats best for them and there familys if its good for others dosent even enter most peoples heads

Do you think working class people were naive enough to think they'd be better off with Boris and the Tories?

I'd suggest they vote the way they always have, or the way the media tells them to. 5 minutes research would show them that the Tories don't give a fuck about them. Personally, I suspect there's too much voter apathy, and a lack of interest in what they're actually voting for. oh you suggest even though ive said most of those i know who voted tory last time have voted for other partys in the past,hey you may vote for what is best for others but as the last g.e showed most vote for what suits them personaly.if that wasnt the case they would of voted for jezza to help the poor but they didnt.humans are selfish always have been always will be.even after all the bollox boris has done if the torys make a better argument come election time they will prob win again,labour reall need to start letting people know what there offering if they dont then there as fucked as last time"

Steady. I was just asking you for clarification.

Not sure why you're suggesting people want to be poorer and treated like shit by the government though.

"Don't think anyone has ever asked me about politics before a meet. I am a Tory but that does not make me a bad person. The bad people are those who judge.

Ok. So, you're not a bad person. Judgement isn't a bad thing either - we all do it, all the time. Even you.

However, if you vote Tory, you are happy to give your consent to policies which protect the wealth of the rich and waste billions of pounds worth of taxpayers' money - whilst, at the same time, increasing homelessness, poverty and hunger amongst the less fortunate and more vulnerable of your fellow citizens - and, if they have any, their children.

Some Tories, may well be "nice people" - but, collectively, they support the current government and its leader. He is, like it or not, due to his not taking Covid seriously when he was first warned about it, responsible for tens of thousands of avoidable deaths.

Not that that matters to any Tory voter - because Brexit/vaccine/economy/Russia, etc.

By that logic, using foul language to talk about any political party is justified. There is no excuse for using foul language in a political debate. Other than the fact that it's uncivil, it is also stupid. If your motivation in debating is to change someone's mind, you do it by logical reasoning. Using foul language results in an opposite effect. But most people who use foul language in political debates don't really do it to change minds or for any greater good. They are just egomaniacs who want to prove that they are right.

Brexit is a good example though. People voted for it because they believed some of the bullshit propaganda. Five minutes research would have shown them it's a scam and will make them worse off.

I am surprised that people still believe in the narrative that voters are stupid and media lies resulted in Tories winning. In the two bi-elections where Tories lost, people chose libdems over Labour.

That's how far Labour have fallen behind. It's not hard to see that Labour's downfall is what caused Tories rise.

I think on the big issues and Brexit people believe what they already decided was true and politicians validated.

I agree that many people voted on emotion rather than facts. But there are also many who voted leave based on valid concerns, especially economic ones based on EU's policies. But I don't want this thread to go into another brexit debate.

And brexit voting dynamics were entirely different from GE voting.

You can't be "a little bit Tory". You either support them or you don't. You're responsible for empowering those who do bad things in your name - and seeking to take credit for only the good? That's infantile; like your current leader.

I understand why Tories get upset when people use foul language to describe them - it can't be pleasant; but it's not done without justification.

It's based on entirely reasonable judgements on the character of the people they vote for and the damage their policies do to millions of human beings every day.i find most people i know are neither tory or labour they usualy tick the box of the partý that they think will benefit them personaly lots of em who voted tory last time have also voted lib dem and labour in the past,think its a small minority who consider themselves tory or labour supporters the majority of people are floating voters who vote for whats best for them personaly,who knows next general election they may decide to vote labour if they ever let people onow what there offering mabey even the lib dems will win if they offer the majority of the country what will benefit them personaly,fact is most people do whats best for them and there familys if its good for others dosent even enter most peoples heads

Do you think working class people were naive enough to think they'd be better off with Boris and the Tories?

I'd suggest they vote the way they always have, or the way the media tells them to. 5 minutes research would show them that the Tories don't give a fuck about them. Personally, I suspect there's too much voter apathy, and a lack of interest in what they're actually voting for. oh you suggest even though ive said most of those i know who voted tory last time have voted for other partys in the past,hey you may vote for what is best for others but as the last g.e showed most vote for what suits them personaly.if that wasnt the case they would of voted for jezza to help the poor but they didnt.humans are selfish always have been always will be.even after all the bollox boris has done if the torys make a better argument come election time they will prob win again,labour reall need to start letting people know what there offering if they dont then there as fucked as last time

Steady. I was just asking you for clarification.

Not sure why you're suggesting people want to be poorer and treated like shit by the government though.they dont particulary but torys offerd people brexit and those who wanted that voted tory those who wanted to remain shared there votes all over the place so giving borisa massive win,if labour had of stuck to what they said in 2017 they could of prob had a coalition goverment and not lost all those voters,instead they listend to the likes of thornbury and starmer and got batterd and unbelivebly they put one of the main cheerleader for that choice in as leader thinking thats the way to win them voters back lol,anyways i cant wait till the next g.e its always entertaining watching one side gloating and the other side devestated whatever party wins.it was just as funny when blair beat the torys as it was when cameron/clegg beat old gordon

I'm more pessimistic. The next GE will be the same shit. 90% of the media telling people too vote for the Tories. Job done.

Brexit is a good example though. People voted for it because they believed some of the bullshit propaganda. Five minutes research would have shown them it's a scam and will make them worse off.lol u think the majority of people listen to the likes of the bbc and sky anymore and as for the print press i dont know anuone who reads a paper anymore,mabey the metro on the bus or tube but thats about it,have a bit more faith in your fellow human instead of thinking there all stupid,its really not a good look"

What's the explanation then? Why do people vote for politicians who openly don't give a fuck about them?

"Don't think anyone has ever asked me about politics before a meet. I am a Tory but that does not make me a bad person. The bad people are those who judge.

Ok. So, you're not a bad person. Judgement isn't a bad thing either - we all do it, all the time. Even you.

However, if you vote Tory, you are happy to give your consent to policies which protect the wealth of the rich and waste billions of pounds worth of taxpayers' money - whilst, at the same time, increasing homelessness, poverty and hunger amongst the less fortunate and more vulnerable of your fellow citizens - and, if they have any, their children.

I am surprised that people still believe in the narrative that voters are stupid and media lies resulted in Tories winning. In the two bi-elections where Tories lost, people chose libdems over Labour.

That's how far Labour have fallen behind. It's not hard to see that Labour's downfall is what caused Tories rise.

I think on the big issues and Brexit people believe what they already decided was true and politicians validated. Very few people would change their brexit position no matter what info was provided, their would just say they knew that all along and come up with another reason or they would deny the information was correct.

^ And that’s why they are stupid. They make important decisions on how the feel rather than facts "

so everyone who voted brexit is stupid lol and that is why the country now has boris because all those who kept getting called stupid or racist or didnt know what they were voting for by those who voted to remain and most politicians decided fuck you and went and voted for boris,christ if id known it was gona start the decline of the main partys and begin the break up of the united kingdom id of registerd to vote for the first time since the mid 90s and voted for it myself,everyone keeps saying we need a new way of doing things well u have to tear everything down first to start again

Seems a bit rich to criticise others over their reasons for voting when you have said you didn't vote in the Brexit referendum.

you seem to have a very low opinion of the majority of British voters is it because it gives you a feeling of superiority?

Then we're largely in agreement.

And I still don't know why people vote for pricks who laugh at them, take their tax money and give it to their mates, while partying through the covid restrictions.

Five minutes research would have shown them it's a scam and will make them worse off.lol u think the majority of people listen to the likes of the bbc and sky anymore and as for the print press i dont know anuone who reads a paper anymore,mabey the metro on the bus or tube but thats about it,have a bit more faith in your fellow human instead of thinking there all stupid,its really not a good look

What's the explanation then? Why do people vote for politicians who openly don't give a fuck about them? because they have been doing it for as long as i can remember lol tory or labour it dont really matter whos in charge its only gona be a small portion of society whos lives will be better no matter whos running the show,personaly i find it bizzare that people put there trust in any politicians watever coulour flag they fly

Then we're largely in agreement.

And I still don't know why people vote for pricks who laugh at them, take their tax money and give it to their mates, while partying through the covid restrictions. "

same reason why people voted for a twat who saddled the nhs with lorry loads of debt and lied to take us to war and then fucked ofc to earnmillions i imagine,like i said its all a charade tory labour dont matter whos in charge the average joe will always get fucked.its the reason i dont vote i dont have to choose what liar to vote for

Personally, I have a libertarian mind and would normally, by nature vote Conservative. But I haven’t voted Conservative since David Cameron promised an EU referendum and to be honest, the time before that I voted Lib Dem.

What I find most surprising these days is how perfectly ordinary people can say quite openly that Labour are not for the ordinary person anymore and instead vote for multi-Millionaire old Etonians without a shred of ironic guilt.

If you were to be solely and wholly objective - it is literally impossible to believe that Boris Johnson, Jacob Rees Mogg and Rishi Sunak have more in common with ordinary people than Kier Starmer, Angela Raynwr and Rachel Reeves.

It is literally mind boggling how some people make such mental gymnastics to think that millionaires and billionaires absolutely have their best interest at heart.

I'd sooner chew my own ears off than share space with a Tory.
