Tory supporters don't want to condemn people that are on 'their side'. It's tribalism at the end of the day, it's okay when their side does it, but no one else.

They all do it, and it's never ok.

The difference between Labour and the Tories is that Labour supporters tend to hold Labour accountable far more often than Tory supporters do. Tory supporters would have called for the resignation of Boris over all this business with donors paying for redecorating his flat if he was labour, yet it's acceptable because he is a tory, and it's the same thing here with Cameron.

Yeah Labour MP's never have scammed the system. Never had hand outs. If you're right wing, or centre you're scum, right dez?!

Where did I say that labour MPs never scammed the system? The whole point I was making was that labour supporters have a history of holding labour MPs accountable when they do wrong. It wasn't a hidden meaning in the post, it was quite overt so I'm quite confused how you could read that post and end up at that conclusion. Either way, I'll accept your apology for misreading and misrepresenting what I've said in advance.

You're saying Tory voters won't care, that's just not true. They do care. Not all, but a good majority will be pissed off.
