“They’d vote for a donkey round here if it had a red rosette on it.” Would they really?
If so, then I hope that you are very pleased that people in safe Labour seats live for 15 fewer years than do their contemporaries in safe Tory seats. I hope that you are thrilled with your boarded up shop fronts, your burnt out cars and your children playing in skips, all much more common than 10 years ago (and they were common enough then). I hope that you are delighted that the incomes of the poorest fifth of the population (fully 12 million people) have gone down since 1997. And I hope that, here in North West Durham, you are ecstatic that all hospital provision within the constituency is finally coming to an end.
If you’d vote for a donkey, then you are a donkey. Are you?
