I have yet to meet a single person who thinks “stopping the boats” should be our national priority right now. Cost of living, declining living standards, the general incompetence of the govt, the NHS, Ukraine… all of these things get mentioned plenty, but never the boats. Maybe I am just living in an echo chamber.

Anybody to the right of a hard lefty like Corbyn is Tory?!!I think I may have a hard time, yes.
I voted for Cameron, May and Johnson, mainly because I couldn’t bring myself to vote for Jezza or the creature comfort Wallace and Gromit guy before him. Previously I voted for Blair, and for Nick Clegg because I thought the country needed a change from the old red or blue. I can’t imagine Sunak will get my vote, but I don’t see Starmer getting his house in order either so who knows?!!
You know that you have the option to not vote or protest voting blank? You are criticizing johnson and you seem to know who he was and you still vote him? And you voted every single tory cnut of the last decade?
You are tory through and through and responsible of brexit and what the country is experiencing
And it is fine, is your choice as a voter. But i dont understand why you justify yourself who you are and what you partially caused. Own it

Anyone who is a floating voter at the moment is a Tory who doesn't want to admit it.
I am assuming that you're floating between the Tories and A.N.Other, probably Lib Dem, @Plant0x84

I’ve literally stated my recent voting history. I wouldn’t vote LD now as they are an irrelevance these days. I’m not likely to vote Tory either given the shambles we are in Under there ‘leadership’.
So you're going to vote Labour? Green? Spoil your vote?
You say not likely to vote Tory, so there's a chance?
A floater is a turd that doesn’t flush
“I support a political parties ideas and principles and manifesto to the extent that I cast a vote for them”… is now not an indication that you’re aligned with that party?
Thats Fcuking bonkers mate.
I live in a safe Conservative seat, my local councillors are Tory and I didn’t vote in the last elections because there wasn’t a candidate that grabbed my attention or made a case to warrant my support.
The next general election is anytime next year up to Jan 2025. I’ll let you know at the time.
Manifesto, yes. The important issues at the time and the stance each party takes on them. But I don’t align with ideas and principles of any political party, and I don’t buy into their dogma which is why I don’t consider myself ‘labour’ or ‘Tory’. Also my vote was for my local MP, who up to the last GE had done a great job for my town, rather than voting specifically for May or Johnson. I happen to think they both were rotten uninspiring candidates, and Truss was an absolute brain fart shitstorm of a leader.
It really sounds like you're giving yourself every excuse to vote Tory.

Cnut.
Mine as well. And she is already on an interest only mortgage.
And extra £400 per month just because of the stupid twats Truss and Kwarteng vanity project.
I simply despair
Why does so much of the UK now just feel like a shitter version of the USA? Blob sounds so crap, like a kids show villain ffs.
Voting Tory at the last 3 elections doesn't make you a Tory. A perfect encapsulation of how the Tories usually do so well and why we are where we are.
This country is actually fecked. At least we have 5 years of austerity mk2 to look forward to under Labour before the Tories win again.

Yes.
Given you vote for a local MP and not the leader of a party and despite this, you were happy to think that you were voting for Boris I think you might not have any ability to have your thoughts provoked.
Out of interest (and I'm not really interested in joining the pile on) what do you think makes someone a Tory?
You kept it didn't you
Is this not the Cnut who ran for London Mayor? I’ve lost track of the number of Goldsmiths we have.
So now you are voting for your local MP and not the party leader....
Yep ran a very race baiting toxic campaign and also claimed to have watched lots of Bollywood films during it
.Then got made a Lord for his failures.
Sprawled it over his coffin so everyone could see what kind of dirty bastard he was. It's what he would've wanted.
Funnily I have done the reverse in my voting history.
Voted Tory in a Labour safe seat in protest at 72 day detention, then Lib Dem, and voted Labour ever since they have been out of power.
If you voted for the Tories post austerity, you are a Tory
Conservative mentality - is primarily a belief in ...'Self first, self last, and if there is anything left over, self again...' and unfortunately deep down there is a bit of this mentality in all of us. Which is why the Tories really do believe they are the 'natural party' of Government.
Not going well for the right wingers
It’s carrying on.
Eh?
What the feck is he on about?
He means get out your hammer and chisel and sort it out yourself
Presumably, cheaper people like nurses and hygienists take on more of the work the dentist currently does. This assumes that there are plenty of these people around, which I doubt.
Haven't you ever gone to the dentist needing a filling but spoken about your childhood trauma instead? Because if you haven't, you're missing out.
Going to the dentist was one of my childhood traumas!
