Why the Tories won't win - a little bet with myself

With talk in the news of the Tories failing to engage with the public in terms of zooming ahead in the polls, which in theory they should be doing, here's my very simple theory behind he failure.

Nothing more than a bit of fun, here's why, according to me, the Tories won't win. Or if they do, it will be the tiniest of minorities.

Their philosophy seems to be "we need cuts - lots of them". However, unlike last time they proposed this, in the late 80s, it worked because the medicine seemed to fit the illness.

In this case however, I don't think many people feel the cure is right. For
analogy's sake, the doctor says: "you're overweight, so you need to exercise
more and eat less". Looking at your belly and dreading the hill outside his
surgery, you see he's right and you try your best to do his bidding.

This time round though, the doc says " you need to eat less, exercise more,
and because there are a couple of gods I happen to believe in sitting over
behind that curtain, I'm going to chop your arm off as well as a kind of
good ju ju sacrifice to them". Well how unfair is that???

The gods , in this case, are of course the bankers. Yes, we're fat, yes,
we're unfit, but no, we don't want to feel our arms to be bunch of fuckwits
in the city either. We don't believe or ever ask to share the existence of
our doctor's choice of god.

I predict labour may win by a very, very small margin once people start
realising that they are going to have to give up a whole load of body parts
to beliefs they don't want and don't wish to continue co-existing with.
