People who cheerlead Brexit but can afford to move to Dubai to avoid paying tax on school fees have never, and will never, have the interest of the working class in their politics.
I sometimes wonder why everyone can't see the con.

I wonder that too. I actually talk to my neighbours who are mostly Reform supporters and...they just don't make sense, come out with contradictory stuff and double down on stuff that can be disproven.
At this stage I think its wilful ignorance and wanting a simple solution to every problem, one they don't have to make any effort to support.

@MostlyTato I'm not going to get angry at people who voted but I do feel anger towards these charlatans.

I try to understand the voters. Its easy to just call them stupid, but they have had their fears weaponised. But then there is always someone there willing to manipulate anyone not paying enough attention, and emotional arguments often win over logic.
