At a guess, I'd say they were the not financially not so well off half.


At a guess, I'd say they were full of shit and the moment they hear "Big Bad Labour Will Put Your Taxes Up" they'll run like frightened little children to vote tory.

... and then keep complaining about the NHS.


I've been saying something similar for a while. In public they'll say 'the right thing' and that they're willing to pay more, but put them alone in that voting booth and it's another matter entirely, I think. Self interest wins out :(
