The destruction of the NHS, the cruel and uncaring attitudes towards the disabled, and the clear bias towards the super-rich and landed gentry over... Well... Everyone and anyone else... demonstrated by the Conservative Party - topped off with the brand new cherry of a quite clearly arrogant yet incompetent leader in Theresa May - might have something to do with it people's choices more than literal money in their back pocket?

I didn't vote for Corbyn, I've been slowly swayed from believing that Scottish independence is necessarily the best path right now but I voted, and will continue to vote, SNP as they are the best option for protecting the interests of Scotland whether that's within the UK or not.

I even - as much as my skin crawls to say it, quite like Ruth Davidson and find the Scottish Conservatives message to overall be far more progressive and positive than the grey clouds that pour out of Westminster. But the Westminster Tories - for many - are just straight up toxic. Their message is of a selfish, uncaring and bleak future and its delivered by May like a talking wooden spoon reading from an out of focus autocue.

Rwlly take a hard look at the alternative before being baffled about why people would be starting to drift back to Labour.

If I resided in the UK, I wouldn't have voted for Conservative and I wouldn't have voted for Labour under Corbyn. Here in N.Ireland I didn't vote for Sinn Fein or the DUP and voting for any other party would have been a wasted vote. I only vote for someone I can have at least some respect and trust for, as much as you can respect and trust a politician.
You are fortunate to support a party that you believe in and that doesn't have a leader who supports murderers (Corbyn) or doesn't look after the more vulnerable members of your country (May).
I'd rather not vote at all than vote for a lesser of two evils.
