Good morning,
I am a life long Conservative voter, excepting the last GE when I voted Labour on the grounds that Jeremy Corbyn with a House Of Commons hostile to him would be less dangerous than Boris with a House that backed him.
Come the next GE I would vote Labour again if it was BJ vs. KS.
Keir Starmer is in my view a terrible opposition leader because he is doing the job as Counsel For The ..... in other words it doesn't matter what the Tories do he will try to discredit it and suggest something else. It doesn't matter what that something else is as long as he does his duty as a barrister and gets the best "outcome for his client", in this case the Labour party.
He hasn't yet caught on to the fact that the electorate don't like that approach.
I've never liked BJ because I see him as someone who makes decisions without understanding the problem and then moves on. I would expect KS to be the opposite and by the time of the next GE the consequences of the COVID actions and BrExit with be clear, I personally expect these to be quite bad as all the little things add up.
As a P.M., hopefully he would have to develop policies and this would focus his mind on what should be done, why and how, if he can swap his mindset he could easily be one of the best P.Ms. for a long time.
In my view even now many on both the State payroll and larger private companies's one haven't come to terms with just how expensive Lock Down was and how little tax is going to paid over the next few years.
If you go with the idea that the Conservative voters tend to be older, these voters will probably know more people who have lost their businesses or are about to because of debts incurred during COVID lock downs and those on the State payroll who are being made redundant.
Bye
Ian
