Honestly, this is a question that I have wrestled with my entire adult life.
Each party is terrible: populated by odious and ill-equipped people that are involved in awful scandals on a weekly basis. Each party has been in power in some form or another in recent decades and during that time they have broken promises time and time again. None are trustworthy.
And yet most people seem to be loudly, vitriolically confident in their choice of political party and so scathing of the opposition. I find it amazing that Tory voters don't seem to see the crushing litany of failings and corruption that their party offers up daily. Also, I find it amazing that Labour voters don't seem to see the crushing litany of failings and corruption that their party offers up daily.
So, as someone who sees that they are all equally rubbish, am I wrong? Am I missing something crucial?
