But some politicians do work hard for their community ...It seems Priti Patel is popular in that constituency despite the chaos of the last decade due to the Conservative government's ineptitude. If the locals like the job Patel has done for them within their constituency, good luck to them if they wish to support her.
yeah, not being bothered about politics and just doing what they've always done, vote Tory, I'm sure there are Labour voters who just vote labour cos they've always done so
Yep. This is the constituency where I've lived for most of my 38 years. Lots of old people. Deeply tribal conservative area. But despite the impression given in this video, the battle for this seat is actually going to be closer than ever, and there's a real possibility of a Labour gain here for the first time in this town's history.
Labour should divert funding from these affluent Tory areas just like the Tories diverted funds from poorer areas. They never feel the consequences of the pain they cause others.
@Walt_G I don't know man. There are run down areas that still vote tory. Witham may not be as bad, but diverting funds is just going to give those tory voters even more reason not to vote for Labour.

67 in 2 weeks time and have never voted Tory in my life. I watched an interview with young people in Chichester the other day and they were all big on RefUK. Is that what you want?
I think my most hated phrase is, "coz they're all the same". If thats how you feel you either need to do some actual research (not via social media) or simply don't vote because you clearly lack understanding on the topic.
Do you really believe, genghis, that people who use this lazy stereotype follow politics on any platform. It is trotted out by defenders of the indefensible and the hard of thinking repeat it trying to sound as if they have some insight and more than a dozen brain cells.

Liz Truss didn;t crash the economy? FFS, not everyone should be able to vote. Too many thick people. My Dad & his wife aren't voting at all, they usually vote Tory, so I guess at least they are staying home. My Dad has been treated by the NHS for cancer since 2016, & that's the thanks he gives the NHS. I wouldn't be able to look a nurse in the eye if I ever voted Tory.

There's been a lot said Churchill, both good and bad. I can't help but recall two quotes attributed to him: “Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.", and perhaps more poignantly, although it's disputed that he actually said it: “The best argument against Democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.”
The guy 7 mins -ish in should visit Rwanda for 6 months and see if it's a good experiment to forcibly send people there as refused migrants. Rwanda - Significant human rights issues included credible reports of: unlawful or arbitrary killings; torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment by the government; harsh and life-threatening prison conditions; arbitrary detention; political prisoners or detainees; transnational repression against individuals located outside the country, including killings, kidnappings, and violence.
The one chap said he has always voted Tory since he could buy his council house and said he wouldn't have been able to otherwise. But he then conveniently neglects to think about the younger generation who are unable to buy homes themselves. Generally speaking, there's a trend of Tory voters having selfish thoughts and no compassion for other people. It's just "I've benefited from the system and I don't care if other people are now suffering because of that"
Whenever I think British politics can't get any more crazy, I'm immediately convinced of the opposite. Now the only question remains whether the eligible voters in the UK want to change and improve their situation or whether they are after 14 years of Tory rule so dismayed that they don't vote at all. 😢
Thoroughly derpressing. Esp the "i voted Tory because they let me buy my council house" man and the one who somehow thought Liz Truss should have been given more time. Yet these are probably he kind of people who think that 16 & 17 16:54 year olds shoukdnt have the vote. One of tbem.even thought May came after Boris ffs these people make Baldrick.look.like Einstein.. .
And this sadly, due to successive UK politicians dumbing down the population, with Teletubbies, Strickly etc how we've arrived with a drugged up cretinous population
These places can take care of themselves, do what conservatives have done and concerntrate regeneration and money in places that will get your votes in the future. People here no matter how bad the conservatives are they will still vote for them.
