Quote:But all parties do that. As I've said before, all Politicians are thieves and liars. All Politicians are in it for their own personal gain. There is not one Party or Politician who really gives a flying fuck about the hard working man on the street as long as they are doing very nicely out of it. The usual case of "Fuck you Jack, I'm alright."No, I can’t agree with that.
In recent times I believe the Lib Dems put country before party when they joined in coalition with the Conservatives. I also believe that was a huge mistake for them and subsequently they have paid a price.
I am even prepared to accept that there are some, a few, misguided souls in the Tory party who actually care about the country and it’s people.
But on the whole the Tories exist to rule, and do whatever they can to rule, and rule to look after their own interests. And yes they will put party first, they will always put themselves before anything else.
But most MP’s try to do their job, some of them well, some of them not so well.
And it goes without saying – well we elect them.
Obviously as a Scot it’s extremely frustrating to have a Tory government – there are few Tories in Scotland – and also to be suffering a BREXIT we never as a country voted for.
But yeah when it comes to elections, if anybody asks me how to vote, I’ll tell them choose the best candidate, and don’t whatever you do vote Tory. Never ever vote Tory.
