How, and why can people conceive that the Conservative party, can be trusted with leading this country for another 5 years? They have wrecked havoc with the NHS, borrowed more than the labour governments, have not cut the deficit as they promised, held up none of their pre 2010 election promises... yet people are still voting for them left right and centre.
It is just mind boggling to me that the populace seem to think that another 5 years of them is a good idea. the working class people suffer whilst the rich get richer. They complain and then vote for the people that caused it.....
Anyone want to hire a british person to be an aux pair or something? cause I want out of this place.
What concerns me the most is that so many people went against UKIP based on the idea that they're 'racist' and against the EU. Yet the Conservatives - a party that has actual blood on their hands - are once again in power. It's ridiculous.
Once again they'll likely be targeting the most vulnerable in society for yet more brutal cuts whilst evading any and all accountability in the process.Â
To their credit, though, they have the mainstream media on their side. I don't particularly like any party but I noticed that Labour and UKIP were painted in a very negative light by the media whilst the Conversatives weren't - despite being the driving force behind much of the suffering going on throughout the country at the moment.
What's worse is the Liberal Democrats aren't involved at all this time around so it may end up being even more dire.
/sigh
