But on thread topic... Yeah, it's depressing as fk. Literally just... some different Tories. Why does anyone bother voting at all? I was compelled to not bother. I went and voted out of a sense of duty to do so. Shouldn't have bothered.

I assume they have just taken an average household spend and assumed in a couple if normal household outgoings (rent, utilities, food) total say £1500 a couple will each pay £750 but a single person foots the bill for the lot therefore the difference each month will be pretty high. It's a bit crude as obviously there will be some bills that are lower for a single person....food etc but I would guess that's where they get the figure from
