Ultimately, it's still mostly about income (aka class) and actions, as far as I'm concerned.
But if people want to vote Tory over a few telling-offs that are sometimes OTT, then that's also on their head.
There's a lack of "grow the fuck up" across the board.

the left, myself probably included, gets so bogged down in trying to do the right thing that it loses an awful lot of the centre ground to people who get bored of being told what to say and think all the time.
Christ yes! I consider myself pretty progressive and this irritates me. The "left" seems to have a knack (that the "right" doesn't) of alienating people who could be its allies in a lot of areas.

Why the left is fucked - too busy shouting at itself to properly focus its ire at the enemy.
Not condoning casual sexism - just that the left, myself probably included, gets so bogged down in trying to do the right thing that it loses an awful lot of the centre ground to people who get bored of being told what to say and think all the time.
