    The faster you get rid of the Tories, the faster that feeling will go away.

      Getting them out will help (on every front) but we are still subjected to propaganda from the Tory press that promotes the agendas that suit billionaires, not ordinary people. They can’t rule us until they first divide us.

          There are ties between both groups. There was a conference that was paid for by republican linked groups about 2 months ago. UK conservatives share the same agendas as republicans. They learn from each others mistake to become more effective in their grab for power.

          It’s always tricky trying for an equivalent as US politics are more right wing. So the hardest right Tories are probably in Trump territory and the moderate wing of the Conservative party is more like parts of the Democrats. Bernie Sanders would probably fall somewhere centre-left in the Labour Party. Corbyn would have been burned at the stake over there.

      They won’t be gotten rid of because the Tories know how to make working class feel middle class, thus they vote against their own interests every time. It’s amazing what monthly payments for a BMW or whatever else makes a person feel accomplished.
