Balance

[TheCat]

I often bang on about the lack of nuance in public debate these days, and the lack of any middle ground. I.e. if I voted tory it must mean that I love all of their policies, including fox hunting, and laughing at poor people.

I often ask people to name one policy from the 'other side' (No matter your 'side'), that they appreciate. And also name one politician you like from the other side. If a person can't do that, then I think that they are not objectively assessing the political landscape....

So....I did indeed vote tory in 2017...but I like labours policy to reinstate the lower small-business corporation tax rate. I also quite like David lammy and dianne abbott....no just kidding....only David lammy.....

Anyone else?

I have always voted Tory but the Labour Party Manifesto of 1959 included the Right To Buy your council home....they did not get in, but as we all know the policy was eventually adopted....
