That’s why people are going to vote Conservative…
Labour frontbencher Emily Thornberry risked enraging voters today by claiming they are only backing Theresa May because they like her hair.
The close Corbyn ally implied that Britons are letting shallow opinions influence their political choices.
They really are the gift that keeps on giving. Their open contempt for the electorate is definitely the way to go. Gets votes every time…
‘Politics is not about that, politics is about how you change people’s lives.’
Indeed. And that is why I will never, ever, vote for you, for I know precisely how you will change my life and it will be for the worse. So, yeah, you keep up the good work. The more you open your mouths, the more you put people off. Don’t let me stop you.
That’s Barnet gone for a burton then.;)
Gawd,First Labour can’t do sums, now this nonsense. And that nice man Mr McDonnell has said that he and Corbyn will stay on after June 8th to lecture us all on the joys of Marxism. Labour is the gift that can’t stop giving indeed.
Change for change sake is not a good thing. Sometimes it is a politicians job to prevent change for the good of the Country and its people.
I don’t want any politician to change my life because it’s none of their f*cking business. When they are in the unfortunate position of changing an aspect of my life it is not beneficial for me or millions of others.
[my bolding] The one reason I could never vote Labour. Any party built on hatred does not deserve any support. While still at school in the 1970s, I coined the term, “Politics of envy,” in reference to Labour and all socialism – it is a term becoming more and more prevalent, and a principle that is becoming more and more prevalent. This is one reason Labour do so well with “poor” people – they pledge to tax the “rich” (until the pip squeak, to conclude Denis Healey’s speech). What so many overlook is that they rarely define “rich,” and the “poor” assume it means anyone who is getting more than they are. Interesting to note that Corbyn’s new definition of rich is just a bit higher than what an MP is paid.
Spot on Radical
Plus the foolish ‘poor’ vote for taxes on the ‘rich’. Thirty years of fiscal drag later the fools end up paying the rich man’s tax they thought would never apply to them.
Good point perhaps because as someone recently said, if you tax the rich to give to the poor, you end up with lots of poor people and no rich people…. (so only poor people available to tax).
Regarding the OP, those on the left are so convinced that they are correct that they cannot believe that anyone who disagrees with them can be doing so honestly. Hence anyone that votes the wrong way must be doing so for all kinds of perverse reasons. They also don’t seem to have worked out that if the Labour party really did stop poor people from being poor, their voter base would be gone. The Labour party has a vested interest in keeping poor people poor.
