Have never really understood the slavish adherence to voting on party lines, irrespective of policy people and performance.
The Labour Party founded to reflect the trade union movement and the working man has virtually no mps that reflect that beginning. An awful lot have more in common with the Bullingham set than they do with their traditional supporters. For most the route to politics has been university , followed by a stint working as an adviser or similar to an mp.
Yet they then cloak themselves as the working man to get into heartland constituencies. Think the one thing that the current parliament is most actually look down their noses at the working man or women and think they are intellectually superior.
Have voted labour and conservative at one time or another - perhaps reflecting my family heritage that had representation in both camps at the battle of orgreave abd can honestly say that this current crop of politicians are quite despicable self interested self serving scum
