I'm 26 and I'll vote Conservative in the next election (first time voting). AMA.

I quit teaching very early into my career to move abroad. Trust me, I know what the Tories have done to the profession and the mental health of teachers as well. I had friends fainting in staff rooms through exhaustion and other teachers breaking down crying in tears. Many have since quit. This was a few, years ago. Why is this happening? Because our current economic model is not sustainable. The allocation of the budget is piss poor and I agree with that being the case. Slash welfare, invest in education and public services and reshuffle the budget so that we are actually enabling people to better their lot, not contributing to generations of systematic dependency with no way out.

Its the same in the USA. How many blacks did Obama help? Not many because trapping them on welfare doesn't help. Invest in education. Invest in their community and incentivise investment in those areas and you will get jobs being created for them to pull themselves out of poverty. Even Malcolm X knew this, a hard truth for people to accept, which is why he was thrown to the wolves. Other prominent rappers like Lupe Fiasco also know this, and the reality is the only way any of us, are going to be any better is if we start doing what the Jews do. Even Jay Zs recent album says this.
