I don't know why I am bothering to be honest. Votes for cash is blackmail, agreeing to merge and tweak each others manifesto to make a combined one is not. The conservatives won't walk away as they get power. The only losers here are us.

I don't know why you're bothering either. "Votes for cash" would be bribery, not blackmail if that was what was going on - it isn't though, 'votes for budget increases' is a more accurate description and a perfectly legitimate part of the democratic process. As much as Corbyn and his comrades might wish it, the IRA aren't going to start kicking off because the DUP get more cash for Northern Ireland.

So they can squander it again on scams? LOL
 
As somebody that voted Tory and still believes a Conservative government is the best option out of the limited options available, I am genuinely concerned about the involvement of the DUP in the coalition. I simply do not agree with a number of their core values, and as Londoner I worry for the potential implications for the Northern Ireland peace process - I'm probably being worried over nothing, but things still don't sit well with me.

its scorza the only time he ever says anything like that, is when he wants that outcome.

unfortunately not a lot. go sign the petitions. Probably wont do anything, but at least gives some figures behind so they cant say well we didn't know.
Write/talk to your mp, especially if you are in a torie held area.

My MP is Owen Paterson, NI Secretary from 2010 to 2012, next time I see him I'll ask what he thinks of this potential coalition and post here. I get to see him fairly often and he is in a pretty unique position to offer an opinion based on personal experiences. I could offer no real opinion as to what he might think of this, he's often a man of insightful surprises.

They do care about the economy and how it impacts them.... Nothing more.

In Stoke, we have a person who regularly phones in with his 2 cents (every day) who recites the 5 years paid health insurance mantra and 5 years no benefits for all immigrants. Like that's the only reason we're overspending. Despite statistically the burden on the NHS is OLD Citizens he's convinced that it is young healthy eastern European types... He claims that if we had no healthcare for immigrants the jungle in Calais would just disappear and illegal immigration will cease to be an issue.

But when asked about polish nurses he's all "welcome working people are welcome" So most of them then.... The mind boggles.

What I don't get about most die in the wool Conservative voters (as someone that has voted conservative in the past) is their thought process. Resistance to climate change, environmental and societal protection, immigration etc. seems to be far greater in the "Conservative" realm (not just the UK, the US is another prime example) than any other political persuasion.

Is it because they are adverse to change - the social Conservative - and believe things are fine the way they are. They've been living with pollution from coal for 50 years so and it hasn't been detrimental to them... Or is it because of the fiscal conservative side - environmental protection is going to cost me money, immigration is perceived to affect me negatively, spending more on the poor will mean my taxes will go up.

Basically is it because people are adverse to change, or is it selfishness because they don't perceive any benefit to themselves? Or is there another reason?

This is not meant to be an attack on the conservative motivation, it just seems odd that it's predominantly conservative leaning people that are against environmental protection and don't agree with things like climate change.

Maybe just because they're older and wiser and have seen it all before? I don't think you can argue they're adverse to change when they're the ones in favour of upsetting the status quo and leaving the European Union. It's the youth who seem terrified of Brexit because they're more easily manipulated by the scaremongering media.

I don't think you can call it selfishness either, older people voted Tory even with the dementia tax and double lock because they believed in Brexit going forward, if anyone was selfish it was the youth who came out in record number after never having taken an interest in politics before and voting Labour to get free tuition fees. That's basically what stopped May getting a majority.

Or maybe the youth know that 90% of good jobs are in the EU?

'90% of the good jobs' - lmao. Care to clarify that at all? or maybe produce some evidence to back that claim up lol.

It's almost been a year since the EU referendum, I'm still waiting for a single remainer to give me one good argument illustrating why the EU is a good idea. I've seen plenty of derangement about Leaving the EU, not so much in the way of logic and reasoning.
