Umiapik posted:The Tories need to do their sums: there's far more voting renters than there are voting landlords. Landlords tend to be a) old (and hence they vote) - being a BTL landlord if you're rich enough has been far and away the best way to invest your retirement money the last few years given rock bottom interest rates; and b) Tory voters, whereas renters are more likely to be lefties.

Spangly A posted:But that's a stupid argument since we're EU citizens and our options include France, Germany and Sweden to name a few. For now. I wonder what our options would be if we withdrew. (And what would happen to all the British people already resident in the rest of Europe) Edit: I worked for a software company in Norway for a year and a bit. Not speaking Norwegian was no problem - the company language was English and everyone there was really fluent (Granted, programmers worldwide tend to use English as an international language). The tricky bit was actually trying to learn Norwegian since the moment I opened my mouth and started uttering halting grammatical abominations, anyone I was speaking to would reply in perfect English

Pork Pie Hat posted:Some of you actually voted just last week for a party that has renationalising the railways in its manifesto; the Greens. I imagine a lot of us voted Green because it was in their manifesto (among other reasons). It certainly wasn't because of a deep antipathy to nuclear power or animal testing in my case.
