I hate to say this, and I say it having never voted Tory, but when they are replaced by Labour, I’ve been around long enough to know it won’t be long before folks will be getting impatient with them and so the pendulum will swing once again. As mentioned, I’m no fan of the Tories, but Labour doesn’t do that much for me either. No, this whole thing is bigger than tribal party politics: it’s a crisis of democracy. Why is it that we essentially just have 2 choices every time we go to vote? For some it’s a Hobson’s Choice; 2 sides of the same coin. The voting system needs a radical overhaul. When I go to the supermarket, I don’t expect just a choice between bread or slightly staler bread.

Cup of tea and a scone? 🤓

It is based on facts. When Labour left Office in 2010 they themselves infamously admitted ‘there was no money left’. Not very ‘fiscally responsible’. I say that as a non-Tory voter.

To be fair, given their dwindling numbers, you shouldn’t really be hunting elephants. 🐘

@thisismetoday That’s not the point here. You suggested the reporter was inappropriately concentrating on Labour’s fiscal irresponsibility. Given the end of Labour’s last government in 2010 she was right to do this.

@thisismetoday I’m guessing you are either very young or have a short memory. Those of us who are old enough to remember, do remember.😉

@thisismetoday And as Labour have a dodgy recentish record of bad fiscal management (the last time they were in Office, in fact), it’s perfectly reasonable to ask about their own fiscal credentials. Cope better.
