I wonder if Boris and the rest of the scumbag 'nasty party' are beginning to regret their expansion into the Northern region. People who voted for Boris Johnson want government to raise taxes on the rich, survey finds 'Schism' between views of Tory voters and business leaders creates dilemma for prime minister EPA The new generation of Conservative voters who delivered Boris Johnson's landslide election victory want the government to raise taxes on the rich, a new survey has found. The poll found high levels of support among 2019 Tory voters for a range of policies not traditionally linked to the party, including government intervention in the economy and directing investment to disadvantaged areas of the Midlands and North. Days ahead of a budget which will set the tone for Mr Johnson’s first full term in power, the survey by Portland Communications found that Tory voters' priorities are at odds with the views of the business community which the party has historically supported. Portland’s UK chair George Pascoe-Watson said the findings exposed the dilemma facing Mr Johnson: “Does he deliver for Conservative voters or business leaders?” The survey, by Portland Communications, found that the interests of the new generation of Conservative voters who backed Johnson’s party in December diverge sharply from the business community which Tories have traditionally backed. Tory voters were far more enthusiastic than business leaders for government intervention in the economy, tax rises for the wealthy and spending on public services, and far more opposed to immigration. And the research contradicted the widespread belief that the views of Tory voters in so-called Red Wall seats in the Midlands and North won for the first time from Labour in December would be sharply different from attitudes in long-established Conservative strongholds in the leafy suburbs and rural villages of the South. Far from detecting a clash between the Leave-backing voters of newly Conservative Bolsover and the Remain-supporting Tories of Beaconsfield, Portland instead found a new gap between Tory voters and captains of industry. Some 49 per cent of Conservatives in Leave seats and 47 per cent in Remain constituencies said that the government should intervene more in the economy, compared to just 18 per cent of business decision-makers polled. More than half of Tory voters - 59 per cent in Leave seats and 53 per cent in Remain areas - thought those earning over £80,000 should pay more in taxes, compared to just 39 per cent of business leaders.
Yet another scumbag nasty party and stuff thread. Boring. Boring. Boring. I would hope Admin could perhaps put a stop to all of this useless preaching dogmatic ideology waffle crap. Enough is enough is enough is enough!
"More than half of Tory voters - 59 per cent in Leave seats and 53 per cent in Remain areas - thought those earning over £80,000 should pay more in taxes, compared to just 39 per cent of business leaders". Clem Attlee and Jeremy Corbyn should be proud of them - Socialist principles and socialist policies infiltrating into the scumbag 'nasty party' !!!
