Always have been, it's what the Tories do or so I heard, I don't live in the country. But conservatives are the same in all Western countries, it's all about the corruption and the hate, populism with a lot of incompetence.
The Tories are at least funny, tax breaks for the rich and it supposed to tricle down. Fancy food for the kids with Jamie Oliver, just nobody can afford lunch anymore. £350m a week for the NHS if the people vote for Brexit when in fact the Tories are trying to systematically destroy it.
And the people keep voting for them because hating immigrants is more important than their livelihood or dignity.
I think the issues are more that 1) old people vote in greater numbers than young people, and the UK has this thing called the "triple lock" on pensions so they are insulated from economic consequences; and 2) the first-past-the-post election method that seems to both polarise politics and allow idiotic politicians to survive and thrive in safe seats.
