Septimia

It depends on who the local candidates are. I'm not voting for someone useless just to get a different party in power - I shall decide depending on who will do the best job for the local area. If they're all useless then I shall have to change my criteria!

I get that in Council elections Septimia, but the national government is that which effects your life the most. Surely which party is in overall party is crucial.

The Conservatives are going to be trounced at the next election judging from the attitudes of the people I know.

Now we have the scandal of illegal parties and sexual offences then lies about 40 new hospitals, 50,000 new nurses 40,000 new doctors. ...oh and the bus advertising the 350 million per day per week, who cares, ( I care! but it didn’t happen) to be saved by leaving the EU....I could go on but what is the point. However many broken promises people will still vote Tory.

Not me but then I never have. Except once over 40 years ago when a woman was in the running. My bad, but I was younger and keen on women’s rights. Still am, it’s a pity she wasn’t.

Just wondering if those who voted Conservative at the last General Election will do so next time? I ask the question in light of all the scandals associated with this Government, together with the lack of action taken to mitigate the effects of the ‘cost of living crisis’ (despite France, Spain and several other European countries giving much more help to their people), abandoning the Triple Lock (despite retaining it being in their manifesto).
