A Question for Tory Supporters

Arklight

Is there a point where you would actually become so ashamed of your party that you would stop voting for them? I mean, what would it would actually take?

21 MPs booted out for not wanting to follow the wild delusions of a cabal of Bullingdon 1930s comedy villains. One of those ejected, one of the most respected statesmen in British politics, and the other the grandson of Winston Churchill. Who are you going to replace him with; do you have the grandson of Goebbels warming up in the wings? I don't think anyone would be surprised.

But let's be honest. Even though Bozo The Clown is PM, half the currently incumbent Tory MPs are appearing on Channel 4 News every evening in the lobby of Parliament saying that they no longer recognise their own Party (which let's be honest, wasn't exactly a magnet to great humanitarians in the first place) and Whitehall is planning for actual starvation in November, you'd still go and vote for them in a heartbeat tomorrow. You wouldn't even look at the candidate.

So, what actually would it take? If Boris Johnson came to your house, babbled incoherently, smashed the windows of your car, handed you a P45, set fire to your shed, kicked you in the goolieknackers and walked off with your significant other - would that actually finally be the last straw? I'm genuinely curious.

They are as big a joke as a party as any, and their reckless Brexit policies now have me in despair. But they don't horrify me anywhere as near as Corbyn's bunch, D.Abbot in charge of MI5, immigration, police, my God it it send a shiver down my spine. A party who wants to fleece me of 35 years graft because someone several stone over weight, never educated when it was free to all and who sat on their backside with zero aspiration there whole life now want to empty my bank account, **** off

I'll take that as a 'no' from you, then.

You could ask exactly the same question of the candidates on the other side of the chamber. Champagne socialists, terrorist sympathisers who hate our armed forces, over run by Momentum. They are a scary thought in power.

However my voting days are over. None of them deserve it.

Of course, vote for Corbyn, after all he admires Venezuela’s social policies.......enough said.

I was a life long conservative voter until the last election.

I picked up how scary this lot are 2 years ago.

They aren't conservative.

Jess Philips speech on the other hand was amazing.

There are other political parties you could vote for other than Labour or the Conservatives. My post asks nothing relating to Labour.

Crashing economy - Check
Pound plummeting - Check
Greater net borrowing than all other post war governments combined - Check
Inequality spiralling - Check
Poverty rocketing - Check
Rough sleepers tripled - Check
Brexit chaos - Check
International laughing stock - Check
Crime spiralling - Check
Racism - Check
A PM and cabinet that shows naked contempt for democracy, Parliament, and British people in general

About par for the course for a decade of Conservative management.

Is there any level of sheer appalling calamity the Tories can sink to that would make you vote differently?

Is it just that they're the party that posh people vote for so they can do what they like?

I’ll vote for them for as long as I believe that they are the best choice for the country.
While McDonnell and Milne are leaders of HM Opposition it’s hard to imagine the conservatives ever being the worse choice.

Smug liars who want all your money for themselves or Labour wanting to spend money on the poor.

Very difficult choice.

It's not if you detest poor people, though.

Ask my dad,a 77 year old lifelong labour supporter who hates the tories with a passion.
But can not bring himself to vote labour any more!
Somethings gone sadly wrong somewhere along the line.
