      Because we’re becoming increasingly like the US, where half of the country (or at least those who actually turn out to vote) are hellbent on voting for a party that doesn’t give a single shit about their needs, just as long as they drivel out some racist shit now and again.

      As @breadsmasher said, “Torys fucking the country? Better vote for them again!”
