From what I got following a little bit english politics. Labour hates the working class and panders to non-whites. They are also basically traitors of the English people as they are siding with the EU and Brussels.

Another problem is that the leader Corbyn is a crazy communists who has good ties with terrorist groups like IRA and Hamas.

Considering all this I see why an average person from England would side with Torries over Labour.

Voting Tory is a good idea if: 1) you are rich and hate the poor, 2) want the welfare system abolished, 3) want the NHS abolished 4) read the daily mail, and believe what they see on the endless channel 5 to shows demonising people on benefits and 5) are a vile racist and hate Europe.

If that's you then your a true Tory through and through.

Well this is absolute rubbish. *sigh*
So if you support the tories then you are a 'vile racist'?? Even if you're a person of colour that is a tory supporter?

Ha.

Try. Again.

i would vote labour but the party is in such a mess that i only have tory and lib dems as my only other two options
the problem is that the party is so divided that they dont have much too offer and the fact that they have no brexit plan makes it even worse
not to mention they have Diane Abbot as home secretary

Yes because socialism is working so well in Venezuela

Why do people immediately jump to ridiculous extremes whenever anything even vaguely left wing is mentioned, and compare it to socialism and countries like Venezuela? Venezuela is an authoritarian government with all sorts of other social problems; Britain is a stable democracy with a different standard of "left wing". Comparisons like that are ridiculous.

For crying out loud, "socialism" is not a catch all term for anything you disagree with, or for anything outside of Tory party policy.

I'm poor as hell and would vote conservatives over labour. Corbin is just awful, they need better people.

Because a lot of labour supporters are driving them away with their sanctimonious and intolerant attitude.

Just look at the title of this thread. A better way to word it would be 'what are the reasons people are voting Tory?' which at least entertains the idea of a discussion.

Instead we have a subtext of 'I'm right, you're wrong, why are you so stupid?' and it's driving people away.

Anyone who's ever been in sales knows you won't bully many people into buying. Find their need, paint them a picture how what you're hocking will give them that. And when you get an objection Acknowledge, Respond & Move on.

If we claim to NEVER use our nuclear weapons no matter what that leaves us in a massive danger zone.

Until Labour move their policies towards the centre and get a leader who the public respond well too, they aren't going to get into power.

I vote Conservative against the SNP, that's the only reason why.. It's a tactical vote, not because I like them.

The future threat of nuclear attack isn't one which mutually assured destruction protects us from. If you're facing an ideology that believes the apocalypse is a good thing, retaliation won't dissuade them.

Because their ideas align with the Tories? That's why I'll be voting for them this GE... Thought I'd describe myself as centre-left, the Tories seem to be the party which I agree with the most. There are certain things I dislike (Privatisation of the NHS for example), but we align on most other important issues.

My views also align with Labour and UKIP, however, Labour and I disagree on some pretty important issues, and UKIP disagrees on some important issues, but seems to go to extremes on some issues where our view somewhat align.

*Some people want Theresa May negotiating this whole brexit thingy
*Some people believe she will lower their taxes. Especially the richer folks.
*The economy did kinda well under the last government before her, so....
*Labours policies mainly appeal to younger voters-better unemployment benefits (more young people out of work than older), more housing (less first time buyers), cheaper education (more students are young people). People over 40 probably dont give two craps about free university accomodation (and a fair few dont like students).
*Labour did kinda balloon the national deficit when they were last in power, just sayin.

You can't just say "i dont see why anyone would vote that way"....you have lived your life, there are plenty of things you havent experienced that maybe would change your views. Im not saying I agree with any of the stuff above (I disagree with most of it, and like you will vote either Green/Labour), but if you want any hope of convincing people that their current views are wrong, you have to be able to show you understand why they think the way they do at the moment (not easy for UKIP voters though...lol)
