I agree... although, you are asking a generally more left-wing forum this question...
Don't worry, they are in terminal decline. They have lost Scotland, are losing Wales, and never had a foothold in Southern England. They pile up votes in post industrial northern cities but that will not be enough to form an election winning coalition of voters.

They have an incompetent leader, are fighting each other like rats in a sack, and their big ideas are to raise taxes and have unlimited immigration.

In fact most of their ideas are electoral poison.

Time for a reshaped left of centre party and some serious thinking about how to take the country forward in a "progressive" way. I don't see much of that anywhere and none of it on TSR.
>Labour
>Liberal

Labour aren't liberal. In many ways the tories are more liberal than labour.

Because they have different values and beliefs than you. People are different.
Because they're the best of a bad bunch. Personally I can't bear any of the other parties.
If you english, you're a fool for not liking Jeremy Corbyn
If you American, then you trippin if you don't support Bernie Sanders

Because they don't want to vote for a tax-dodging, dead-animal-****ing, out of touch toff who doesn't give a **** about anyone that doesn't donate to the Tory party and who can't even persuade his own cabinet to be on the same side as him in a referendum that he called, that's why.

Why do people vote ?
op the type of person to deny white privilege
Cause we dont follow he word view that life is fair, people at the bottom arent always there because of their own fault, they need our help.
Also there are some basic rights everyone is entitled to.

I like the Lib Dems, although I identify more with the 'Orange Booker' wing of the party.
young middle-class people find that voting L:dolphin::dolphin::dolphin::dolphin:r makes them feel edgy and like they were still at yoony

It's seems to be the cool thing, when you're a student, to be left-wing

That article is the most ridiculous thing I've ever read. It's full of holes and puts across data about as subjectively as a feminist using data about salaries.
