Well, you'd have to be foolish to vote for a party that's actively trying to privatise public services if you use them so yes. The idea of the working and middle classes voting for the Tories is like an immigrant voting for Donald Trump. It's foolishness.

wrong. the tories nhs in england is way ahead in most areas compared to the welsh labour nhs...in england you get results the same day, in wales you can wait 10 weeks for results of eye tests. youd have to be a fool to back the party of bankruptcy, illlegal wars, destruction of civil liberties, free speech , mrsa, record abuses on the nhs, more bankrupt councils, more waste, more doubling. trebling of CEO wages at the councils and ceo's of hospitals and the trebling of the wage bill for nhs middle management....none of whom are medically qualified

Indeed it is, in at least these last 2 elections particularly it leaves less to understand as to it taking place.

Have you not heard of policies. Many/most people weigh up the pros and cons of the various different policies of the parties rather than just concentrate on the one policy that affects them personally. Some look at the bigger picture and long-term potential affects of such policies overall.

It's a far wider playing field than you suggest.

It really isn't, Tories will win by a landslide because people will vote for familiarity whether it benefits them or not and Ex-Remainer Theresa May is appealing to brexiters by promising a hard brexit (A stance she'd easily change depending on which way the wind is blowing).

Brexit is the new immigration in that it's a buzzword to get people to mindlessly vote for whichever candidate is using it and Theresa May is fully aware of that.
