    I mean fucking obviously it’s gotten worse “under the Tories” but what a loaded and useless question.

    How about, "Are you confident things would have been any different under anybody else?

        Point is its irrelevant… Every country right left or sideways could say things got worse under their governance

            Yeah at your direction I fixed a late night error. Point would be it doesn’t matter who governed, did things get worse for everybody everywhere all at once? Yup!

              I’m pretty sure that it could only be the Conservatives that thought that in the middle of a huge cost of living crisis, it was a good idea to make a big, unfunded tax cut for the already wealthiest, whilst sidelining their own office for budget responsibility in an absurd attempt to hide from the public how much unnecessary additional debt they were taking on and how bad the economic fallout would be, sending the stock market spiralling and forcing up mortgage payments for years to come.

              Pretty sure it would only be the Conservatives who would think that it was a good idea to sabotage the auction for building renewable energy so that we continue to rely on expensive and damaging fossil fuel whilst maintaining, in a crazy act of national and global self harm, subsidies for fossil fuel extraction, and advocate for increasing the number of north sea oil rigs and fields.

                  You have a party that’s doing tax cuts for the wealthiest and trashing renewables in favour of fossil fuel subsidies and you call them centre left??!! I mean, I already knew that the USA only has a right wing party and a loony far right wing party, but I had hoped that Canada had a left wing party of some sort. Wow.
