Wanderlust Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Stop bullying WS63 FFS! He may have some misguided rose-tinted perspective of an imaginary Tory party with a social conscience, but he's always value for money when it comes to providing an insight into what's going on in the heads of "traditional" Tory voters - it's like reading the back catalogue of "Conservative Home". And at least he tries to explain himself without resorting to personal insults which is a rare commodity. I've learned a lot from him. For example, "traditional" Tory voters think: * This government is an embarrassment, hasn't delivered on their promises and has let traditional Tory voters down * They are not proper Tories and don't have traditional Tory policies. I presume that means there are no national assets left to privatise or sell off to their rich mates at the expense of ordinary folk but I'm sure he'll provide clarification. * Polls, by - elections etc mean nothing because there are millions of Tories out there keeping the light under a bushel just waiting for the chance to pounce at the next general election. In summary, despite not being proper Toerags, despite not delivering on their electoral promises, despite not "delivering the Brexit they voted for", despite embarrassing the Tory party with scandal after scandal and despite trashing the economy - the "real" Tories will still be turning out in droves to ensure they win the next GE. Fascinating insights, I'm sure you'll agree - so get off his case as he's sincere in what he writes and I'm sure there's lots more good stuff to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesince63 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I am sincere Lusty as you well know and to be fair I can’t actually disagree with most of what you’ve posted. It’s a complete shit show and Tory’s need a good kicking for it. Sadly the most culpable are sitting in safe (relatively) seats and will probably still be here after the next election. There is still a slim chance that the damage can be limited before the next election but I wouldn’t put my money on it but at least it will give the numpties on here who’ve been continually complaining about the Tory’s a chance to see what a complete and utter fuck up a Labour government can do instead. As I’ve always said, a bad Tory government is still better than a Labour one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italy’s oil major ENI (BIT:ENI) is rumored to be in talks to buy private equity-backed producer Neptune Energy for $5-6 billion, eyeing its gas-tilted portfolio that is currently producing some 130,000 b/d of oil equivalent per day, mostly located in the North Sea. If Total want to sell, they will find a buyer without too much trouble, they are just saber rattling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently not. Labour vote down from 27,082 to17,309. Conservative vote down from 20,918 to 6,335. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Lt. Aldo Raine Posted December 2, 2022 Members Share Posted December 2, 2022 To be fair to @Whitesince63 , the Tory party has been a lot of things in recent years but only rarely has it actually been conservative. I see Sajid Javid's the latest to announce he's getting out while he can still go on his own terms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickbrown Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Labour share increased from 49.6 to 61.2. Tory share fell from 38.3 to 22.4. As I said earlier, an absolute twatting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fuller picture than I've seen or heard elsewhere and is straight from the declaration. I'm not trying to paint a picture of anything but the truth. If you look at the figures the Labour drop can be seen as a combination of by-election apathy plus antipathy to the resigned member's party. The Conservative drop cannot be explained away. You don't need to be a frontline psephologist to say that if an election is called now there will a mahoosive Labour majority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
