To start with, we haven't had real conservatism in ages i.e. smaller govt, less meddling, encouraging small businesses and trying to get people in to productive employment.<br /><br />Secondly, our schools and universities are full of people who are openly promoting a socialist agenda, even if it is not called this by name. They will be the storm troopers of the future. Add on the fact the fact that TV is mainly left wing, both from the BBC to basic popular culture e.g. comedians and the 'cool' people in society.<br />Then add on the growing numbers of economic migrants and government entitlement claimants. Conservatism is on the way out.

You know, the sort of margin of success that can be changed dramatically by a family moving house in six month's time. <br /><br />In the end, curious as this fiasco was it may simply be part of the normal cycle of politics. People vote Labour and then begin to wonder what possessed them to do so and, should the socialists actually form a government, quickly begin to actively regret doing so. Labour governments soon become unhappy affairs, even if you discount their love of sending our forces to war in dusty shitholes. I may be wrong, but I think if there is another 2017 election then Corbyns delusional hordes ("we did better than expected so we must have won and even with all the other lefties on board we cannot form a majority government but let us rule in a minority because, hey, that will get things done and anyway all lefty alliances fall apart sooner or later") will somewhat disappear.<br /><br />We will, for a time, get back to the normal state of the nation with conservatism with a small c but then the cycle kicks in again when people think we're rich enough for more free stuff. Actually, we are sort of permanently broke, as per Liam Byrne's famous departing note said.stenglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01683263644032875337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495971764170848323.post-15564992924821214332017-06-10T07:07:37.077+01:002017-06-10T07:07:37.077+01:00Careful, your blinkered prejudice is showing!

Less so for me as I am retired and I have my pension and by the time the money runs out and it will when Labour forms a government I will probably be pushing up daisies. However I still feel badly that after I am gone those left behind are going suffer for supporting the likes of Corbyn and his loony left wing Marxism and loony ideas but then perhaps they will deserve to. Actually learn how stupid they have been. Probably not and even if they do it will too late.Antistheneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10120647617145756102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495971764170848323.post-2665415932149400132017-06-09T10:53:47.380+01:002017-06-09T10:53:47.380+01:00No, I still think they voted for free shit.

She vainly decided that now was a great time to increase her majority by taking advantage of the discontent within the Labour party kicking a man when he was down. It failed because the British people still believe in fairness. As they always do, they backed the underdog. She was seen to be too arrogant and has been slapped down. Its a simple as that. A good warning to all politicians - don't get too big for your boots and get on with the job we elected you to do!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07140144315002414779noreply@blogger.com
