The unions and the Hard/far Left have a tradition of being misogynistic and racist in the past, ( because women and ethnic minorities in the workplace would mean less work for the men.The Unions. The RMT is incredibly misogynistic. They'll deny it but I've worked on the railway and whilst individuals aren't, the union as a whole is, they actively prevent any progress in changing rosters etc which are the biggest barrier to women becoming drivers.
I have almost always voted Labour, but I can't remember when I did so with any great enthusiasm. I wish we could have a different electoral system and a broader choice of parties to vote for.On paper sir Keir might have looked a good choice - modest backgrounds and rose to be an (allegedly) hot shot lawyer. But in practice he's been a terrible choice.
Most younger people I know have no idea what conservatism is about, they think it's about being scum baddies. Not that I can blame them seeing as the government has been confused over who they are.
My brother in law went to Europe on Erasmus and also voted for Brexit. I don't know much else as we avoid the topic for family harmony reasons. My MIL is fervently a remsiner/rejoiner.Cruella Braverman out for her self
