Personally I think there must be quite a few votes to be had from the idle. I know no one ever speaks up for lazy bastards like me.
The poor only vote for things like Brexit, no votes in them for normal elections which is why they get ignored, if the poor started voting things might change, the lazy bastards.

That's weird - my second name really was my street name. Local gentry.
The hard-working thing is code - it just means 'working'. They want to say 'working', to pit the employed against the skiving unemployed, but that would be too obvious. So they say hard working, which also flatters people who are just working normally, and adds to the sense of grievance of people who are working hard for very little return.
