      am british. its infuriating. a mass of the uninformed voting against the self interest for over a decade at this point.

      “Torys fucking the country? Better vote for them again!”

      Because we’re becoming increasingly like the US, where half of the country (or at least those who actually turn out to vote) are hellbent on voting for a party that doesn’t give a single shit about their needs, just as long as they drivel out some racist shit now and again.

      As @breadsmasher said, “Torys fucking the country? Better vote for them again!”

          Thing is: I really, really, really do want voting reform but… I don’t think I can bring myself to support Nigel Fárage.

      Most of the country are change hating small c conservatives who genuinely believe the state knows best and is totally trustworthy. They get their news from the Daily Mail or The Sun because Britain is the best country ever. Its the mindset that ensures we still have a class system, a monarchy and brexit.
