Eating fat, staying slim
To be honest, I don't spend much time on the tory manifesto, a quick scan is sufficient along with being already aware of what they stand for. I believe what we're getting is what serial tory voters want. The one-time tory voters in 2019 just wanted brexit and they too are getting what they voted for.Did they vote for what we're getting now? Did they anticipate it? It wasn't what the Conservative manifesto promised, nor what the party leader offered before the election.
And, to reopen that old can of worms, how many voted not for the Con men and women, but against the demon (according to the press) offered by the other major party?
Those who voted against the demon ( that's a good way of putting it ) it can be argued are not, but my opinion is such folk are getting what they deserve if not what they voted for by being daft enough to be taken in by the right wing media. There are others I won't mention.
Bottom line for me is, there may have been an excuse for some in 2010 who had never experienced a tory govt, but there is no excuse for 2015, 2017 and 2019.
