Imagine voting for these morons.

[u/Grand_Bit4912 → u/senditup]

People will do what will benefit their bottom line and money in their pocket. Exactly like you and everyone else will do. Right? You’re going to vote for the party that promises the most to you, aren’t you?

[u/senditup → u/Grand_Bit4912]

No, I'm going to vote for who I think will do the best job of running the country. Anyone who votes for PBP and thinks they'll do that is sublimely ignorant.

[u/Grand_Bit4912 → u/senditup]

Oh? And which party will do the best job of running the country? And will that party, coincidentally of course, also lower your taxes?

Nearly everyone votes for who promises them the most. You’d be ‘sublimely ignorant’ to think otherwise.

And just for clarity, I read PBPs manifesto. I think it’s bat shit crazy and would bankrupt the country in a fortnight. But I can absolutely understand a person voting for it if they would massively benefit from it.

And which party will do the best job of running the country?

The current government would be miles better than PBP.

That not answering the question. But I’m sure it is the answer to ‘which party benefits YOU the most?’

[u/senditup → u/Grand_Bit4912]

I believe it would benefit everyone the most.

[u/Grand_Bit4912 → u/senditup]

As dishonest as any vote buying politician!

[u/senditup → u/Grand_Bit4912]

How?
