What comfy middle class is that then ? I am most certainly not comfy middle class ,i work for about £8 p/h my wife works 10p above minimum wage ,we live in a council house .I watched my wages in one year drop by about £300 p/w when i was on the building sites.During that year i was forced to re-evaluate my lifestyle so i could get another job and not be left with a load of debt that had to be paid off .I now drive lorries ,i work very unsociable hours for not a lot of money but i am financially sound with no debt,i am most certainly not comfy middle class and i daresay others that post as i do are not either.Some may be but isn't that simply down to the way they have worked hard ,planned for the future as i have done ? instead of waiting for it all to go tits up and let the state pick up the tab

How on earth do you come up with that conclusion .I would say that the voting preference amongst the elderly (lets say retired elderly) is about equally split ,getting them to change their allegiance is the hard thing
