You're clearly speaking from a position of privilege where a hard right neoliberal Tory government making sweeping cuts to welfare and public services means "at worst we might have to tighten our belts a bit". Consider yourself very, very lucky that you DON'T have to worry about this. I count my lucky stars that this is happening NOW because at this point I have a household income that for the most part does mean that we can tighten belts and get by OK - if this was happening a couple of years ago it would have been another STORY. However, I have a daughter with a lifelong disability and the likelihood of a hard majority Tory government making cuts that affect her education, and her care and available services in the future is not a pleasant prospect.

Believing that a government like this "could all turn out really good" for the average working or middle class citizen is quite frankly believing in faeries, and the sort of pure fantasy that has lead people to vote us into this mess.
