  1. The sad truth is that a lot of the working class vote Tory, even when Labour had Corbyn as a leader who actually promised to do a lot that would have helped the working class. Starmer thinks he has to win some Tory voters back for Labour to get back into government.

  2.  @slimytoad1447  No party is going to be a perfect fit for a single individual but understanding the ideologies behind the parties, it's hard to see how the working class ever thought the Tories represented them except in sowing division and encouraging prejudice, and using false notions of patriotism. I suppose in boom times when things seemed to be improving economically, the Tories' philosophy of individuals getting on by hard work would seem valid at the time, but booms are often followed by busts, and who carries main burden of those - the working class. Not voting is no answer. The non voters are just an ignored section of the population.
