Labour Voters.. Why?

[tinkicker]

I am as baffled as the guy in the video.

He asks some very intelligent questions in a very logical manner, questions I would like to see answered.

Of course, I doubt the one or two marxists here will have the guts to watch the video to the end and comment in a non emotional manner.

They will watch 10 seconds, if they even bother, close their eyes, stick their fingers in their ears and cry that famous non sequitur " racist".

For the more rational among you, I genuinly want to hear your comments.

I have an answer to one of his questions right now. Expect to be paying over £2 per litre of fuel in your bike before six months is out and £150 in road tax per year.
God help you if you drive a range rover....

The rational, well thought out vid. I do not know the guy and have not followed him, he just popped up on my recommendations, but he asks some damned good questions.

Point of order: the electorate didn't vote in a Labour government they voted out the Tory government. The first-past-the-post system did the rest.

While the video purports to address the third of the population that voted Labour, that third cannot hear or answer any of these questions - it's not in their psychological make up. Mr. Thorpe is therefore only talking to everyone else.

"Why would you vote for misery?" That question only works for a sensible human being. Genuine dyed in the wool Reds do not understand the concept of cause and effect.

80% if electorate didn't vote for labour, it will turn ugly when they start trying to force the stuff through which they haven't said out loud yet.

Mediocrity ? we should be so lucky.
I fear we'll have a Marxist SNP type gov fucking it all up
with further erosion of liberties and free speech.
Remember, Starmer couldn't or wouldn't dare say what a woman was

It'll start when he goes to the EU to negotiate more favourable terms and comes away with sweet fuck all. Nothing will be done with the migrants staying in hotels. Rwanda will want paying off. Doctors/nurses will go back on strike and the unions will have more clout. Then it'll come out that they gave significant managerial control of British Power to mates/relatives who will squander millions with nothing to show for it.

Press will poke at it all until it triggers a leadership contest, then the real loony lefties will crawl out of the woodwork. THEN it'll all go to hell in a handbasket.

It'll take a while though. Three/four years.

Then enter Farage stage right - it's just like France now.

I couldn't get past the fake tan, and the super white fake teeth. Everything about that bloke screams phoney. He starts by saying he want to ask questions and hear answers and then launches into giving his half baked opinions.
If it gets better, let me know and I'll watch another minute.
YT is full of crap like that.

[Tierbirdy]

Couldnt be bothered to watch a 25 min video, he bored me within seconds. Whats the TL;DR questions he wants answered? I skimmed through looking for it and saw the sub heading "woke is going to explode" at which point I immediately lost interest because it just shows the guy is a cock. Like everyone who uses "woke" as a pejorative but then cant actually define what "woke" is.

Theres a lot of pissing and moaning by people unhappy that Labour got in, but what did you actually want?

You had two choices, Tory or Labour, under FPTP no other party was ever going to be in power. And who can possibly still be wanting the Tories in power after the utter shower of shite theyve been?

Give them a chance, they cant possibly be any worse than the way the Tories were going.

[tinkicker]

And arrives the "I blindly vote contingent".

I voted the tories out because they betrayed me, without bothering to look at the who am I voting in. In any case its all very boring...

I do not want to watch the vid because I do not want to know how badly I fucked up...

Yup, we are all going to pay for your fuck up. Very well done. Bravo.

Yeah, it’s a valid 4-word question but the video added nothing.

First order of business is that you need to fix your oversized avatar so that it's 80 pixels wide and 100 pixels high.

I'm confused as to why the Tories would be better when they were more interested in stabbing each other in the back and lining their own pockets than governing?

[Nobby the Bastard]

I would like to ask all those Deformers on here a question.

How does it feel to know that your protest vote resulted in Labour winning its second biggest ever majority, the resurgence of Liberal Democrats and the Greens winning a roughly similar number of seats as your chosen party?

. Pretty good actually. The expectation was one seat, maybe two. To get five seats is pretty astounding and a huge achievement for a tiny party run from someone's kitchen 12 months ago and 4 weeks to prepare for a general election.

Alex salmond himself said it took the SNP 20 years to get where reform is now.

Now they will get the resources and time they need to make themselves into a force to be reckoned with.

Remind me how long the Labour party were in power the last time they had a majority of that size?

Simple fact from my point of view is that these career politicos have got it backward.

They are there to serve the people and carry out their will. Number one duty is to keep the population safe.

Not at all what they seem to think. They seem to think we are a huge social experiment to push and shake as they see fit.

I do not think they realise the depth of anger building in the country.

The country is divided because of them. Perfectly normal people, who were friends are now boxed up either as:
Victim or oppressor.
Lefty or far right.
Woke or racist.

The country is toxic and its all down to political manipulation.

I really do fear for the future.
