The Lib … But behind the rhetoric, is there any real difference in what the three parties offer voters?The Conservative manifesto never actually mentions Jeremy Corbyn, but Theresa May’s constant refrain of “strong and stable leadership” suggests that she wants this election to be about personalities, not parties.The Labour manifesto makes no secret of its contempt for Tory policy, but avoids hand-to-hand combat with May.This could be because – as we noted in a recent FactCheck video – pollings suggests Mrs May’s personal appeal to voters crosses party lines.The Liberal Democrats have taken a novel approach. Labour wants to create a National Care Service with £8 billion in funding over five years.The Lib Dems are promising to spend some of the £6 billion they have allocated to health and social care on looking after the elderly.The Lib Dems are the only party proposing an income tax rise for everyone earning over the Personal Allowance threshold (currently £11,500). Workers and youth are ready for a real political change.Theresa May and her degenerate party know full well that the support they stand on is like a melting block of ice. In 1678, the first Tories emerged in England as Jacobites, when they opposed the Whig-supported Exclusion Bill which set out to disinherit the heir presumptive James, … [23] And on the question of whether ordinary people get their fair share of the nation’s wealth, 97% of Labour members and 95% of SNP members said no, compared to 19% of Tories.Indeed, the close opinions of Labour and the SNP’s grassroots (although not necessarily the SNP leadership and certainly not the Blairites in Westminster) does show how both these parties have been transformed by workers and youth, who have become radicalised by events.This radical mood can be seen from the significant anti-establishment statements presented by this survey - a mood that is increasingly being reflected inside the Labour Party at all levels. So, if Labour are so badwith the economy, why … A study into Britain's major political parties has confirmed what most will already know: the Tories are an aging party in decline; Corbyn's Labour, a party driven by the dynamism of the youth.The survey had some fairly damning news for the Conservatives, whose declining and aging membership demonstrates that the party really is only a representative of the past. Labour was last in government in the first half of 2010 prior to that year’s election. This explains the huge difference in membership numbers between the two main parties. Meanwhile, most Tories support the rich keeping all the money, exploiting workers, and maintaining poverty.The Labour Party now boasts a membership of over five times that of the Conservatives. The Tories increasingly represent only a tiny fraction of society.Above all, however, this report demonstrates which side all the living, dynamic, and progressive forces in society are on. Referencing worker-strikes during Labour’s Winter of Discontent (1978-79), Dominic Raab warned voters that if Labour gets into power there will again be coffins in the streets and rubbish piled high. [22] In Australia, Tory is occasionally used as a pejorative term by members of the Australian Labor Party to refer to conservative members of the Liberal Party of Australia and National Party of Australia parties (who are in a long-standing coalition ). A study into Britain's major political parties has confirmed what most will already know: the Tories are an aging party in decline; Corbyn's Labour, a party driven by the dynamism of the youth. Over 60% of those aged 18-30 voted Labour, compared to just over 20% in the same age bracket for the Tories. And over half of all Tory members agreed with capital punishment, while less than half agreed with same-sex marriage.These results aren’t that surprising when you look at the rise of figures such as Jacob Rees-Mogg and Boris Johnson in the party, who consistently pander to the disgusting rhetoric of UKIP and other similarly politically backward layers. Labour, meanwhile, pledges to introduce a mansion tax for the wealthy, a move the Tories are opposed to.
