Which is odd because the things you seem most upset by (over-indebtedness, an economy that discourages saving and encourages BTL investing) are the core policy outcomes of the modern Conservatives. Their trajectory is to shrink the middle class until we are back to the 1780s, where the role of the middle classes is constrained and social mobility is almost non-existent. Everything is financialized, if you don't have your wealth offshore you can't compete, and the vehicles of this globally mobile wealth are multi-national corporations.
The Tories are waging class war and even your side - the small 'c' conservative middle-class is getting hammered. And, because you are still scared of 'socialism' (a nineteenth century fad that had limited success in moderating old-style capitalism and since the 1940s has barely existed in mainstream politics), you still think that mixed-market social democracy is a threat to you, rather than a lifeboat.
Well, let’s look at the other key choice from the last 3 elections. Miliband, Corbyn and Corbyn. No conservative is going to get behind these guys. The Corbyn / McDonnell ticket sent shivers down the spines of millions and the election results speak for themselves.
