I'm what old money would call a traditional Labour voter. A state that provides for everyone as a child( a school), free Healthcare for all, helping us all look for good work and to learn skills( careers advice and apprenticeships) , and in their old age support their lifelong graft which adds value to the nation via a pension and subsidised life assistance ( travel, social care)
At all points inbetween, a free market to use their skills to make a nest for them and their family and greater community. Whatever your political view, I don't think you'd find that general view unreasonable.
So after the success in the US of Trump, relative success in the UK of Farage and Reform, and an increasing move to the right by the Conservative Party, I'm out to learn a little more about people I live with but who's politics is very different from mine.
So in the spirit of amistad rather than name calling ( we've all done it, politics is important and tribal after all ), why do you vote Republican or MAGA, Reform or Conservative and what am I fundementally missing in my world view that ( certainly in the case of right if centre parties globally on the rise) I should consider?
No catch, no tantrums, no name calling, there are people I know who support Reform, Conservatives (Badenoch version) and in their bio, by extension support MAGA.
Thanks in advance.
