NJS 3992 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I think most of it comes down to people not doing a bit of research into who they are voting for. They believe the daily mail headlines and that makes their mind upYes but I also think it would be wrong to apply a personal cost/benefit exercise no matter how accurate which this woman could/should have done. May be idealistic but you should consider the big picture and other people. Of course such consideration could go either way in vote choice.

NJS 3992 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Anyone on tax credits who voted Tory is clearly a moronIn general terms obviously but they didn't signal this approach pre-election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 20109 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 anyone even remotely up to date with current affairs would have been aware of the scale of cuts that were coming. you don't win elections by revealing exactly where the axe was going to fall, but it didn't take a rocket scientist to work it out.

Kid Dynamite 6068 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 You're obviously blinkered to the level of interest joe bloggs has in politics. Xfactor and Big Brother maybe, fiscal policies not so much. Half of my punters wouldn't dream of buying a paper let alone take in what it contains, read between the lines and undertake their own research to come to their own conclusions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 26770 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Yeah but it's generally understood that the Tories aren't the party of the working class. How she got that idea is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 If you're asking questions in a qt audience you have some interest in politics. Cameron said he didn't want to cut tax credits. Difference between not knowing policies and not seeing through lies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 3992 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Yeah but it's generally understood that the Tories aren't the party of the working class. How she got that idea is beyond me.Because their main message now is workers versus benefit claimants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 A friend of mine, who is a partner in his own maintenance firm, votes Tory because they are "Good for his business". I preceded to ask him what else the Tories do for him. He couldn't answer the question. Most people who vote don't do it with a rounded view.
