We are truly fucked.
I've seen my mother vote right wing most of her life, she swallows everything the Sun says. Yet she's suffered from illness, was left out of work, and survived on benefits. She more than anyone should vote left/liberal, but she constantly votes against her own interests.
Why? Because the truth of it is that she is racist.
There's no other way of saying it.
Whereas I would vote the other way, against my interest, in favour of a fairer society with more social mobility and less poverty.
But people who share this view seem to be a minority. A vocal one for sure, but still a minority.
We are fucked, because prejudice beats out economic stability and fairness.

Don't give up just yet! You and your Tactical 2017 crusaders are one of our hopes.

Good on you :)
I wonder what would happen if she stopped reading the Scum... in the CSB case, an ex-colleague of mine was bombarded with Fox news on the radio due to a house mate. Despite being deffo not a USA tea party republican type, after a few weeks of that he found himself agreeing with some of it!
Leading to a "please switch that radio off" request... ;)

It will only work if the electorate are gullible cretins willing to vote for their own prejudices against their own interests.
We're fucked, aren't we?
