The problem with that is people are too entrenched in their voting. Even if there was anyone else worth voting for they just cant see past their usual vote.
Laziness, ignorance and entrenched voting make it far too easy for Tory and Labour especially those in safe seats.
Rinse and repeat. Sell council houses to those you know will never be able to keep up with mortgage repayments. Especially if you ensure interest rates are going up at the same time and they can Ill afford to heat or eat Let alone repay an ever increasing mortgage.
Meanwhile the same paper is reporting that Johnson has rejected a plea to give starving kids free school meals meaning that 1 million kids will go hungry during school holidays. I would have thought that the need was greater now than during the pandemic when a football player had to embarrass the government into action.Tory minister's wife buys second supermarket as Brits face soaring food prices

That’s Politicians for ya...
Andy Burnham but he would have to quit being Mayor and become an MP again Boris did it.
It's a poor thing that a leader has to win Stars in their Eyes in order to run the country these days. However, you're probably right - if only he knew it, I think Andy Burnham's time has come.
Agree muchly. I voted for him - both times.
Why would the Tories vote for a stop to first past the post when they've been winning with it and have changed boundaries to consolidate their position.
Do both. Most Tories have at least two jobs.Andy Burnham but he would have to quit being Mayor and become an MP again Boris did it.
My mother had three jobs. But it was to keep the wolves from the door and food on the table because labour bashed everyone with high inflation. So much for representing the working class.
They won't and the illusion of democracy continues.
I had three jobs myself because the Tories had interest rates at 14%. The losers are the British people because our political class is probably the worst in Europe.
It was labour who raised the interest rates to 15%. she was a member of the Labour Party but hated them ever since for that.
Interest rates were at 15% in the early to mid 80s up to the 1989 crash. Tory rule under Thatcher.
It was def under labour rule.
Definitely Conservatives.
When? Tories were in charge from 1979 to 1997.
Pretty sure it was the John Major era, wasn't he an ex banker.
Nearly everything in my lifetime has been under Tory rule, as an adult I think Labour have only been in power under Blair/Brown. Can't stand Blair but the education my kids got was so much better than mine, think the health care was better aswell. Don't know why he went all American and got involved in an unnecessary war.
My first vote was in the 1979 election and Maggie won. Tories then in power until 1997.
So from 79 to 2022 we have been Tory apart from the Blair era which lasted 13 years and were probably the best for me and my family.
1970’s
I was a kid and more interested in the six million dollar man and playing football for hours on end. In my adult life the best for me and my family was under Labour and I'm not a habitual Labour voter. The interest thing was definitely the Conservatives.
Ah multimillionaire Blair who was a Tory in disguise
He kind of was but schools and health were better than now. I wouldn't get too hung up on the Tory v Labour thing, the status quo is the problem to a large extent, what we need is the best people to do the best for all the people. Our electoral system doesn't allow it.
They manage to ‘pass the buck because they have the Tory press in their back pockets, more than happy to help them out q
Clever politicians looking to serve and unite the population, fantastic idea, but like you say where are they?!!
If it's an article about the Tories then, to be sure, it's about scraping the bottom of the barrel.
