I don't understand Northern Ireland politics. Why do Catholics vote for Sinn Fein knowing that they won't take their seats in Parliament making their votes wasted votes, Sinn Fein won't take their seats in Parliament, the Stormont devolved government hasn't worked for three years so effectively the Catholic part of this highly sectarian country is unrepresented anywhere.

And apparently the smarter ones in our society. This inability to understand percentages says a lot about the failings of our modern education system.

Poor old Wisbech. The Tories will be in power for a decade at least.

Labour have lost Scotland and will their traditional heartlands return to vote for them if they are doing better under a Tory Government. All they will be left with are the champagne socialists

Originally posted by Stirlingsays But what after that? Every year the demographics are moving in favour of the left. I did think that but now I'm not so sure. Believing Leftist crap is a symptom of youth while the less capable somehow believe that they can be saved by a socialist government in a quasi religious way. Those that are older and more upwardly mobile tend to vote Tory. I think it's possible that will remain the case despite a change in racial demographics. It also seems like many of the White working class are beginning to see that the Tories might serve them better than London bubble Labour. There are a lot of them. The next election should tell us a lot about that. Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (14 Dec 2019 9.30am)

Some people would vote Labour if a dog turd was the leader. There is definitely an age divide that will remain in place but I feel that the immigration issue will be a big part of driving traditional Labour voters over to the Tories. There is no other credible party that represents those concerns with Labour being perceived as Mass immigration friendly.
