[@Frserthegreenengine]

@@josephdyson3737 Also those young Tories don't seem to take into account that the turnout at this election was down, a lot of people thought the election was already over and thus didn't bother voting. Kinda similar to what happened in 2001, albeit Labour had 40% of the vote then. Also Voter ID would have played a huge factor in lower turnout as many of the people who were ethnic minority, disabled and young voters, who were more likely to vote Labour, Lib Dem or Greens. Voter ID also put off people from registering as they feared that they would be turned away or that they didn't have the right ID. Lastly, because Labour were so far ahead in the polls a lot of young voters and leftists saw the polls and felt Labour "had it in the bag" and felt they were safe enough to vote Green. If the polls had been closer, I think it's very likely that more of them would have voted Labour to maximise the chances of the Tories getting booted out. Of course many others, esepcially Muslim voters, didn't vote Labour in protest to Labour's inconsistent/confused stance on Gaza. Speculation on my part but I think those factors explain why Labour had a lower share of the vote. Either, If Labour do well, they'll probably win the next election with a reduced majority. It also depends on the Tories, if they move further to the right, then I reckon they will remain in opposition at the next election. If the Tories move to the centre then they might have a much better chance of winning or at least a good chance of winning back many of the seats that they lost.

[@tajj7]

@@Frserthegreenengine And shed loads of tactical voting, people voted to get rid of the Tories, so chose the best party to do that.

I've always thought of lack of empathy as a characrter flaw, and I suppose, to an extent I still do. I certainly don't surround myself with low empathy people. But I've started to realise that empathy, like any other human characteristic that can be measured (like height, BMI, athletic ability, anything) will ultimately form a bell curve when plotted on a graph of the population at large, with the vast majority of people somewhere the middle, and outliers on each end. It's a shame that people on the extreme low end of the empathy sociopathy spectrum are so successful at convincing so many of those in the middle that they represent them. They are effective precisely because they literally don't give a hoot about anyone besides themselves. That, for me is the foundation of conservatism. People don't get to be super rich by having any sort of conscience about exploiting others. Jeff Bezos could easily afford to pay his workers three or four times what he does without any real impact on his life, but why doesn't he? I guess he needs that money for the first tourist ticket to Mars or whatever. And why would anyone who claims to be patriotic believe a billionaire newspaper owner who goes to extreme lengths to avoid paying tax, and contributing to schools, hospitals and social care that the rest of us do? They can make the right noises about supporting our troops for example, while simultaneously undermining their support. We need to stop thinking of these people as successful examples to emulate, and think more about protecting the majority against their worst excesses.
