When there is a decent alternative in Scotland,  I’ll stop voting for them. I am slowly but surely changing my stance though, without the help of the majority  of you. 

Ps. Don’t call me a c**t, I’m not a c**t, I’m lovely irl

When better losers become available, you'll vote for them?

Husband returned to work his week to find that in addition to an air purifier, PPE and copious amounts of hand sanitiser he also has another new feature in his workshop.

What a load of nonsense, i'm certainly not a victim, i'm not one of those 'victims' that can't deal with not getting their own way.

Don't forget Oaksoft, who seems to have tried to distance himself from his original stance on Universal Credit and the undeserving poor, since his hero Iain Duncan Smith started the whole, "oh, how could I have possibly known THIS would happen?" spiel.

But, then again, he's such an Objectivist parody that he's probably a socialist IRL.

Comrade Oaksoft was also first in line for a £10k COVID-19 grant to bail out his super successful business.

Aye? Sorry I missed that. I was a bit curious if we’d see some blistering seethe about the lazy good-for-nothing paupers getting state handouts when furloughed, but maybe that was a hypocrisy too far.

He has gone very quiet since I asked him a very straightforward question about his business.

Micheal Portilo and maybe annabelle goldie you’re ok. Rest of you, gtf.

You're normally quite calm and laid-back, so I'd imagine it wasn't an enquiry about how far he could stuff it up his arse.

See I am happy to answer, but even the way the question was asked it's not as if you are open to reason. I don't come on here to sway anyone to my (tory) way of thinking as it's well known that this site is a long time bastion to Scottish nationalism, before that it was massively Labour. 

I vote Tory because they are the political party who's policies best match up to my political/ social/ financial views, I don't agree with every policy they have but I'm sure there are not very many folk who can say that they agree with every policy of their chosen party.

Now I have no doubt there will be comments about racism, homophobia, Islamophobia and maybe the odd not very well veiled threat about my political leanings from the nats because calling someone a Tory cvnt just shows they struggle with debate. 

Nope, that's a wee list of some of the problems which absolutely do plague your party, not necessarily you as an individual.

Now, what policies do you find transformative enough to overlook the above, as well as the car-crash that is their handling of Brexit and the absolute culpable mass homicide that is the current pandemic response?

Seriously, I would love to know what could possibly persuade anyone who relies on working for a living to even think of supporting the current Tory Party.

Isn't it strange how most of the criticism of Keir is coming from within our Party, and the wetbrains who lapped up all the anti-Corbyn stuff are confused because the Mail/Express/Torygraph haven't found anythin gwhich could be spun against Starmer at a level these morons would understand? The best so far was the MoS with their "Successful Barrister Buys Field" exclusive.

One would almost think the media have been complicit in a drive to turn politics into "Showbiz for Ugly People" for real.

The wording in your second paragraph being of your opinion and quite different from my own, these are debating topics for another time. I will answer the question at the bottom now.

I believe that the Tory party is the only viable party at the moment that can run the economy in a way that promotes growth without getting into too much debt or having to sell of assets to balance the books. If you have a strong economy then that's half the battle of keeping things afloat during downturns, this does not include the current Covid 19 situation.

I think the current tax system is generally ok for somebody in my situation and lot better for people in low paid jobs who have a decent wage before having to start paying tax. I'm not a fan of high end tax dodgers but I believe that if someone works hard then they should be entitled to a fair amount of their spoils.

Folk seem to forget the absolute shambles that Labour left the country the last time, high debt, high unemployment and not a lot of infrastructure investment. We now a government who are keen to invest inwardly.

Our borders need proper monitoring, we need to bring people in who will become assets. I have seen the outcome of free movement in the industry I work in, it's basically slave labour brought in by criminal gangs.

I want Brexit, working for an international company that has offices in all areas I have seen first hand how the UK is getting screwed by the EU, I believe we have been held back by the EU and will now be able to keep more jobs in the UK as we are not preventing UK companies bidding for work in the UK
