Venn diagrams and politics
It seems to me that the key to winning elections is to gain the votes of those who did not previously support you. It is therefore shocking, disgusting and shameless of the Tory party to go after the anti-green petrol heads and bad politics too.
The Venn diagram of the supporters of Brexit and climate change deniers is an almost perfect circle and they all vote Tory already. The Tory party strategy that its right wing is successfully pushing onto its increasingly weak and nasty leader is therefore basically a plan to get the 10-20% of swivel-eyed loons to vote Tory, when they were already going to do that.
I know they will get the support of the right wing media, push the lies about ULEZ and play up the protests by Just Stop Oil, tell fools that Labour will dig up roads and force them to turn off their central heating, but the vast majority of people can see that America and Europe are burning and something has to be done.
That the desperate Tories are willing to play this card, when they know as well as anyone the consequences is shocking, let’s hope it is stupid too.
Economics, trade and Brexit, not necessarily in that order but the dog always comes first.
