As far as I can ascertain, @Conservatives voters fall into one or more of these categories; The Rich; Millionaires and Billionaires whose only interest is to enrich themselves still further regardless of the damage they do to other people in the process. They vote for and donate to the Tories because they know the party will do nothing to prevent off-shore tax avoidance and evasion The Extremists; The bigots, the racists, the homophobes, the transphobes, the white supremacists and the conspiracy theorists. A mix of uneducated working class (‘I went to the school of hard knocks and the university of life’) and wannabe officer class such as Farage, Bolton and Hamilton. Essentially proto-fascists, they support far-right Tories such as Anderson, Benton, Gullis, Jenrick, Hayes, Leigh, Braverman and Patel. Likely as not to vote for ReFashUK (if and its a big if, they stand for election). They are the hard-of-thinking. cf Bridgen, ReFashUk, BaggageReclaim, The Cap Doffers; Often old, uneducated and nostalgic for an imaginary rose-tinted Britain of the past, these are the people who believe that the Tories are their betters. They support people such as Cameron, Rees-Mogg, Osborne, Johnson and Hunt on the basis that people educated at Eton (or similar) and Oxford were born to run the country. Again, thinking is not part of their abilities The Spivs; An increasingly growing number of wide-boys who have realised that the Tories a) encourage fraud (PPE), b) will not investigate fraud (PPE, VIP lanes) and c) elevate particularly adept fraudsters to the House of Lords (Mone). Often Kent, East Anglia or Essex based. The Home Counties Set; Comfortably off with their largely inherited wealth, these people live in the beautiful countryside of Hertfordshire, Hampshire, Herefordshire, Dorset, Wilts, Oxon and Gloucs. They will vote for anything wearing a blue rosette because their families always have done. Still believe that the Tories are the same party of the 1940s-60s The Traitors; A mix of the above, these people will actively do the UK harm to gratify their perverted goals. Most Brexiters are in this category as are the Hedge funders who short the pound and short bank shares and do huge damage to the economy in doing so - cf Rishi Sunak and Crispin Odey. Hannan, Carswell, Farage, Tice and Banks are perfect examples of ideological traitors - really Lord Haw-Haw could have learned much from these. #ToryCriminalsUnfitToGovern
@Conservatives As @DWright28 points out, I missed the classic 'Self made man'. The man who forgets that luck gave him his break, bot his abilities. The man who Harry Enfield carricatured beautifully; The man who is 'considerably richer than yow'
@AndyGJBurge @Conservatives I don't think these stereotypes are helpful in encouraging debate on issues or understanding tory voters.
@AndyGJBurge @Conservatives My parents are The Homes Counties set. They both live in houses worth over £1mill each despite never having well paid jobs, just did well in the housing market and they are very grateful to the Conservative Party for all they have done for them. Sod everyone else.
@AndyGJBurge @Conservatives All Tories have one thing in common - selfishness.
@AndyGJBurge @Conservatives Shorting the £ should be illegal for UK based hedge funds. Profiteering from the loss of value of the national currency is akin to counterfeiting. A crime at the expense of the nation.
@AndyGJBurge @Conservatives Not sure Herefordshire qualifies for Home Counties
