The design is clever right, be corrupt, underfund Labour councils, pump money into Tory councils, rig the development funding so that more affluent Tory areas get funding over more deprived Labour areas, be like Jenrick and unapologetic for it and at some point will hold there nose and vote for it accepting the system is broken but they want some money spent in there area

yep - at least then people are voting for something rather than against something. Its more empowering for them.

It doesn't work though does it? If the whole country votes for the Tories, there'll be no need to funnel money to Tory constituencies. You're only going to get the money if you're a swing seat or your local Tory is a minister and able to redirect money to their own constituency (Jenrick etc.)

But that is by design, no? Tory press, Tory approach to education. A stupid and bigoted population is one that will return a Tory majority until the sun goes out- so if you are a Tory it’s on you to alter the demographic. Mining pensioners for spite is effective, but you have to make it a renewable resource.
