Im Curious How happy the Conservative supporters are with their second term in government and where it has led us and will you be voting for them to get a third term?
There was a lot of support for them on here at the last Election despite the warnings. How do you feel they have done so far? Last edited by billy123; 26-06-2016 at 10:13 PM. |

Always baffles me that it's the Lib Dems who died harder than the Tories. Hoping they resurface as a genuine third party contender again soon.

No, I'll never respect the Tory party. I can't see myself ever voting for them unless there was an extraordinary circumstance where I felt I felt there were no other option, which is very unlikely.
I hate what they stand for. They don't benefit the working-class in any way. They don't benefit students in any way. |

i didn't vote for them, but i support them overwhelmingly compared to labour, and I still do. For whatever reason, they were the only party offering a referendum which was absolutely the right thing, whether you agree with the result or not.

I've never voted for them though I will say they have gone some way to repairing the mess labour and the bankers left, though it's been painful.

I didn't vote for them, but they have done exactly as I expected. Blaming the poor for the woes of the world, cutting peoples income unless they are massively rich, cutting NHS budgets, school budgets, etc etc.

I didn't vote for them obviously but they have found that a small overall majority can be worse than having none and being in coalition.
They have had their wings clipped rather by public opinion and the Lords too. So in the last year they have not been able to really do some of the worst aspects of their manifesto. Now and for the next few years at the very least with this referendum,they have helped create an almighty mess and a pretty bad potential constitutional crisis too. Whoever it is that takes over will need to be massively conciliatory to the Conservative opposing sides of this referendum and need careful and sensitive skills to carry Parliament as a whole with them. That will not come easy to any Conservative leader and if they elect the one I hope they will not, then that will be well and truly out the window. I would not be supporting them in the next election obviously, no matter when it may be, early next year or 2020. I see at best little and really no hope for the sick,disabled and most vulnerable from this present Conservative party overall so for me,no they have not done well.

I voted Labour.
We ended up with a Tory MP which is confusing to say the least given that this area is as anti-Tory as you can get. The sooner the next election comes around the better. |

I voted Tory, no way could I vote Labour with Ed at the helm and the mess they left behind last time they were in.
I am sorry David Cameron is resigning, I am not sure if I could vote for Boris. Hopefully by the next election there will be a decent opposition so we have a choice if he doesn't cut the mustard. Over all I have been happy with my vote, at least he has carried out his promise of a referendum, just have to wait and se how it pans out now. |

I have a feeling the next election will go the exact same way and we'll be stuck in a Tory government for years to come, sadly. |

they have created 2.5 million new jobs and reduced the breed for benefits culture. yes i know some are part time and some are zero hour contract but jobs are the key to any happy contented society and 2.5 million is a monumental achievement and far moreso than all of europe put together |

I feel like voting against Conservative demonstrates my idealism. I don't want to confine myself or respect a government that doesn't benefit me. In 10/15 years time, who knows, my perception might change (but like I said it's very unlikely). I don't even think a quote from Winston Churchill will make an impact on my political views. Sorry to say. |

Voted Green, that said there are some area of Tory politics that I agree with and a lot I don't, I don't think any of the parties are all black and white and as a leader I didn't mind Cameron
