[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 1038655, member: 72205"] I wouldn't say this country is very right wing (well maybe England) but over 50% of voters have voted for parties to the left of the Conservatives in every election since 1959 (other than 2015 and 2017 where Con/UKIP/BXP/DUP edged it). I don't think we are as left as Labour want us but the majority aren't Conservative and have only ever won over 50% of the vote when running as the "National Government" in the 30's and when it was the Conservative & Lib. Unionist party. The issue is FPTP allowing us to believe in a right wing majority rather than one really existing. [/QUOTE]
