POLL: My 'Pet' #Tory Councillor* says: "If lefties stopped banging-on about #Socialism and did Nordic-style #SocialDemocracy instead the #UKToryParty would be permanently out of power even under #FPTP."

(* Thinks I must be a #Tory as I run a business & own a suit.
I don't correct him.)

Do you agree/disagree that Nordic-style #SocialDemocracy would beat the #UKToryParty better than talk of #Socialism?

(Pls. Boost for wider view.)

@fencoul conservatives will keep on telling this kind of stupid nonsense regardless what the 'lefties' do or say.

👆 True, but it's easier to counter when you can point at successful examples of where what you're selling actually works...like the Nordic #SocialDemocrat countries.

His point is: 'Keep saying the #BogeyMan S-Word and you'll keep on losing.'

@fencoul in Sweden, the social democrats got less than 30% in the last election, same in Norway and Denmark. In Germany it is even less. You don't beat the Tories by pretending to be almost alike, only a bit nicer.
