I tried to make it clear that my personal situation/experiences might not be indicative of those of the general public.
But this isn't thinking about the Old Tories.. it's a concern I have about the Tories as they are today:
Labour tried to get more houses (houses, not flats) built in my area. They've been trying for years but every time the Tory council block the plans. The Tory council forced fortnightly bin collections on us, but organic food waste is only allowed in the landfill bin, hence pongs galore and greater contributions to landfill/greenhouse gases. They refuse to collect plastic bottles for recycling, yet my council tax bill is one of the highest in the country. Virtually every vote my Tory MP has taken in parliment has been completely opposed to my viewpoint.
You see, the Tories are already failing me, and I fear that if they got a majority control of parliment my personal situation can only get worse, as they increase the personal wealth of house-owners and make it harder for renters. Now Thatcher actually acted quite well in that respect..by making it easier for people to get on a (relatively) reasonable property ladder at the time, but I don't think the new Tories are going to do anything that helps me.
