There comes a point when targeting the poor, the disabled etc. becomes way too much for anyone who prioritizes their politics on human decency. Sick, poor, disabled, mentally unwell people have taken the brunt of the austerity hammer, and thousands have died as a result of it. For the first time in recorded history, increasing longlivity has come to a halt in this country.
Lets remember the origins of the Tories and what they actually stand for. Tory party is the conservative and unionist party. Conservation of capital in a capitalist regime. Capitalism is the private ownership of the means of production and distribution for the purposes of making profit for the owners. Therefore, the Conservative party can not and never be a ‘deliberative democracy’ because its an inacessible company where we don't get to sit at the negotiating table.
Of course May and all those political elites who can no longer justify their privileges to the masses, want to try and stop the hatred. Unrest is growing by the day. The Tories spent too long living in their glass houses and being inaccessible or impotent to their nation. This past election must of been an alarming wake up call and I think they've now got the message that its only just beginning.

There are advantages and disadvantages that comes with either Tory or Labour being in power. Each have their own strengths and weaknesses when it comes to policies, but when will people realise that neither of them will ever fix anything long term. The world and all it's complexities changes too rapidly.
Like all governments they'll inherit problems and like all governments they'll leave their own mess for the next lot. Labour usually just happen to leave a worse mess.
