Since when did some Labour voters need an informed opinion? Why bother with that when one can have past prejudices and their own ideology? If the previous thread showed nothing it was the tenuous basis on which some voted Labour. It was either all about a Conservative PM from 20 years ago, about mistaken beliefs on Tory welfare policy, mistaken thoughts on Tory civil liberties policy, or just a sense of entitlement and the fear that the tax payer wouldn't keep suckling under anyone bar Labour.
I felt masochistic so read the diatribe from disgruntled voters
here.
It's... tragic really how poorly informed people seem to be, not least because of their total indifference to the country's present economic issues. Me, me, me, nasty Tories cutting services, nasty Tories won't let me leech welfare, nasty Tories will raise our taxes and give it all to their rich friends, waaaaaaah, give me my unpaid for services and welfare.
The whole 'Big Society' is going to be a tough thing to accomplish when society has so many small people in it whose only ambition in life is to avoid work and whose main hobbies are watching daytime TV, being obnoxious and engaging in jealous reverse snobbery with those who work for a living and are financially better off.
What is with this whole reverse snobbery thing? Frankly it's getting up my nose. When did it become such a crime to better oneself, and why is it so accepted to look down on those who worked their way up to something better, and why is it considered fine to have no desire at all to better oneself or one's lot in life but instead to settle down to a life of living off the tax payer or working a job you hate, living in a life you hate, and whining jealously about those who have bettered themselves.
If it were just those who were born with a silver spoon in their arse that are getting complained about I'd be fine but it's everybody who isn't 'working class' who gets complained about. How dare people want a better life.
OK I feel better now.
