Thing is I'm not a Tory. I think one thing that sets me aside from most voters is I'm in control of my vote, not controlled by any one party. I take the time to look at a manifesto, it's leaders, it's vision. And I weigh up the pros and cons not just for me, and not just for the instant gratification that is so prevalent these days. I look at the mid and long term future, deciding with my own mind whether someone's party or leader deserves my vote. You may or may not vote Labour, I cannot ever bring myself to do it after the Blair/Brown eras but I would never be judgemental of those who vote them. I know plenty of decent, hard-working Labour councillors, imo they are let down by those at the top who are fawned by the media.

The arrogance here is palpable. Have you considered that people aren't brainwashed by parties....maybe they just have consistent values and evaluate what the political entities they dislike say and do, and they think it's harmful? Maybe they think a party or parties consistently says or does non-decent things?

That's impossible, because you're the only one who has control of their brain and is not enslaved by a party.
