Funnily enough last election I was speaking to a sales colleague who always voted Tory based on "the economy". After I probed, he actually came to the conclusion that he'd made vastly more money, and been better off under Blair/Brown than any Conservative government.
FWIW I got him to complete one of those "who should I vote for" surveys and he came up UKIP.

I've heard loads of people say that. But I've not heard anyone conversationally say things like 'since May got in, the cost to my business of buying stuff from Europe of has skyrocketed, maintaining a massive inventory stockpile is crippling and the costs of delaying investment is now materially affecting my competitiveness'.
I get media bias, but it's still really odd, the economy has actually, wilfully been driven down the past few years and yet people parrot that that's still better than being under a Labour govt.
