Yet people vote Tory again and again. That is the real problem.
No old people vote Tory. Young people must come out and vote in numbers. The damage will take two generations to repair. Decent public services, enterprise and strong institutions. Get rid of the house of lords and slim down the royal family. Tax high earners fairly and progressively. And pay decent wages and reform each sector (education, health, business, local govt) - have a vision for the country.
Because asa general election comes around they make promises appealing to greed and suddenly people forget how bad things are and money stars blind them to vote tory again plus the media forecast of dome and gloom under the Labour but we have lost a Labour party made up from working class and it is full of career politics
Vote reform party or stay in same old same old.
@@philipharris7594 more right wing bs
Only because they are the best party.
We left the UK & moved to a Scandinavian country. You know, one of those countries where everyone seems to comment "Oh, you want to move there, but they pay such high taxes don't they?"
I actually earn less now than I did in the UK, but we have a far bigger house, we have far more disposable income, we don't have to deal with any dodgy utility or government agencies trying to fleece us out of our hard earned money. Life is far more pleasant, & I actually trust where my tax money goes.
The Tories are literally bleeding the country dry. Wealthy people don't suffer during economic crises. They've seen that they are going to loose the next election, & they're putting as many holes in the ship as they can before handing it over.
if i was younger I would do the same... Well done!

Where did you move? I constantly consider doing this because I'm so sick of the UK at this point

My partner, daughter and myself came over to the uk, from Australia, at the end of 2021. We had secure jobs confirmed, a place to live and high hopes. We knew we’d be paid less than Aus but figured that it would even out with lower cost of living. It wasn’t long before we saw just how little our wage covered. Six months in, we realised we’d made a terrible mistake and came back home. Im a British citizen and have been coming to the UK for over a decade, I love the country despite all its flaws but I don’t know how there’s any hope for it at this point. The worst part of it all is that it seemed so few of the people we know are aware of how bad the pay, protections, conditions are in the UK. It’s like everyone’s just become used to the misery. It cost us a mint to move back but we couldn’t be happier with our decision.
Your mistake was in assuming that somehow Aus was worse than the UK. Austrlians truly do live in the lucky country.... why would you come home?
Yes, it has gone backwards but we had to do the reverse of yourself several years ago when we realised that an basic house at the arse end of the outer suburbs of Melbourne would be twice the price of our quite decent and reasonably well connected town in the UK. Both countries have had a ridiculous 'house price inflation' economy for the last 20 years, which has crippled investment in both countries that should have gone into proper industries. Aus does take the prize on this issue though. We also had to come back to the UK on account of the lack of jobs also, and the massive competition for each job, eg 200 applicants for many of the jobs I applied for in my ex-IT role I stupidly left in the UK to go back to Australia for.
@@occamraiser taxes way higher in Australia left voters dumb in UK
We're over populated in the UK. 60 million + and climbing compared to Australia 37 million+ Correct, why would you come here? With an over populated country comes the problems with providing resouces. You made the right choice because I'm sure your safer in Australia than here in UK
she is correct about the tories wanting to privatise the nhs , this was stated by them back in 1989 , the goal of the conservative paty is to privatise the nhs slowly but surely , and the best way to do that is bleed it dry and then say to the public that it is not fit for purpose , privatise it and make a nice profit and then the public will have to pay or do without , simple

@@liengamier3290 For nothing. ( Except corruption )
Yet another one who cannot listen and see the issues with the claims in this video, you are suffering from confirmation bias so much you are not seeing the issues with what is been claimed.
The guy been interviewed clearly pick 5 nations he wants because they are good for his argument but ignores the many that could be classed as similar or even better suited but don't suit his argument, then he gives us some figures GDP per capita for each nation, after doing so he then say 'if all the inequality was the same' - read that again 'if all inequality was the same' - this is an important part, he makes the hypothesis that all the inequalities of our cultures, resources etc are the same and than re-users the same GDP figures without adjusting the for the obvious levelling out of inequalities, basically telling us to ignore all the differences and don't calculate or adjust for them so he can use the same figures to win his argument, he has rigged his own race here and the fact you cannot see that means you have come in here with a political bias and your confirmation bias and/or ignorance means you didn't understand what was really been said but it doesn't matter when the overlying opinion serves your views, this is why in life you will constantly find yourself battling for the losing side because you are probably over opinionated without actually knowing what you are talking about.
@@genome616 so what you are saying that things have been better under the Tories? Studies show that even after the crash in 2008 Labour things were actually improving by 2010 and there has been no need for austerity.
@@b00ts4ndc4ts Really no point talking to you based on your comment, if you seriously don't think austerity was needed then you do not realise why inflation is high now, without the austerity we would have caused a runaway inflation and investors would have pulled out of the UK tripling the damage of the financial crash crashing our banks and the Pound, this is why the EU had to buy up trillions in bonds to stop the Euro failing and basically dragging the EU with it, it was because Labour overspending, selling all our gold off and raiding our pensions that left the UK in a much worst position than most, just imagine for a moment, without a decade of austerity how would we have managed to financially support people and businesses through covid or help with energy costs, yes we didnt know these things were coming and that's why you dont gamble with the economy like Labour did and left us all to suffer the consequences.

The 'first past the post' voting system is the biggest failure in the UK. Only 40% of people vote tory but they hold the majority of seats. Tory governments always create economic failure in the UK.

When the Tories are eventually voted out, do we need to build a tomb/statue warning future generations to never ever vote Tory? The country seems to suffer from voters with short term memory loss.
Why do British people keep voting Tory?
Get greedy money stars in front of their eyes with the tory promises of more money in your pocket (which torys then remove through big corporations taken it back)
Beats me! 🤷♀️😖
Combination of selfishness and racism/xenophobia primarily. Also a culture of anti-intellectualism and ignorance, probably fuelled by intentional lack of investment in education. And then the media, both traditional and social, are stacked very heavily one way and have huge sway.
The baby boomer generation have been sold a diet of lies and propaganda by an incredibly one sided media, even the BBC abandoned neutrality in the wake of the Brexit vote and we’ve seen the birth of overtly right wing broadcasters as regulators abandoned the idea that those broadcasting “news” should be bound by things like truth and honesty. Sky has started to try and be impartial since Murdoch ended his involvement as have ITV,it was ITV who exposed partygate, which was very brave of them considering the punishment ITV received the last time they stood up to a Tory Government. The demographics don’t lie though under 45s are not Conservative at all and are not following the expected path towards the Conservatives of previous generations.
@@dylanblue2271 it's not difficult to disagree...
Why isn't this data in public faces daily, instead of dinghies?
Because the government prefers us to blame immigrants, and not look at the government.
Because dinghies keeps the racist voting and this doesn't help them.
Because it doesn't suit the right-wing MSM narrative.
The public has to be willing to educate itself for that... which is not possible with the English, who are insanely gullible and willing to believe lies of a far bigger scale. England will win the World Cup, the British Empire did great things for its dominions, etc. When one believes such garbage it is much easier to accept other lies.
Why do you think? Could it be a government and media conspiracy? Surely not 😱.
The other graph - the one you didn't include - would show how our national debt rocketed relentlessly over the past 12 years, even before the pandemic and Brexit. This despite the "Austerity" lie ie that we were "living within our means" and "managing our national deficit". Austerity was never anything of the sort. Instead it was a cynical charade for justifying shrinking the state and starving local government, the public sector and the hated NHS. This has been happening in plain daylight and we seem to have swallowed it. We need to stop legitimising the use of this cynical and misleading terminology. Perhaps you could start by recognising this?
That was the syphoning of your money, your tax revenue straight into the pockets of Tory backing billionaires to squirrel away in our tax havens.
Austerity caused much of the economic decline.
Michael was covering the FT article in this video which I don’t think referred to the increase of the national debt but it is well recognised austerity increased the national debt too and which I am sure NM would agree with.
But where has all the money gone, one graph shows that spending was cut as soon as the Tories came into power yet since then the deficit has grown even before covid. Someone somewhere has gotten awfully rich from fleecing the country under the Tories.
Why do the tories hate their country so much?
I agree with your headline, but, unfortunately the English public keep voting them in.
this. it's not the tories, it's the british citizen themselves.
@@nobodynowhere21 It's English citizens for continually placing them in power. Scots did NOT vote for the Tories.
Of course it's the system that gave them a massive majority of seats. They won 43.6% of votes but that gave them 56.2% of the seats. If it was Proportional Representation the parties would have to talk to each other, come to a consensus. Which would reflect the majority of anti-tory votes.
@@NickGodwin I agree with you. But the other problem that you have is, who replaces them?. Labour. Westminster politics is all about turns each at fu----g up the country.

I'm absolutely with you I'm just curious as to how you would go about it ?
All those other European countries are doing better because they invest equally in the education of the countries children and in their infrastructure. They also still have publicly owned industries. Their governments haven't deregulated their economies as ours has
That is very true - they're doing all the things that Britain should be doing, but isn't. It's not just the NHS that is an irrecoverable basket case, it's the whole Country !
Our Politicians lie to us to give us a glimmer of hope, but the smart money is on leaving this Country, and emigrating elsewhere.
Our so called Leaders (parasites really !), feed us so much crap in the hope that we don't up sticks and go elsewhere, and see how the other half live, because that would throw into sharp relief, just how far this Country has fallen. I don't suppose it'll matter too much if a large quantity of us piss off to another Country to live, because the Politicians can always rely on the Tax take from all these 'Doctors', 'Lawyers', 'Engineers' etc that have been landing on our Southernmost shores for donkeys years - yeah, they're being here will solve all our current woes !
also utilities are kept in public hands
Yet
It might be dangerous to invest too much in education. Can’t have too many commoners getting the wrong ideas…
It's not "all of a sudden" in Scotland, we've been screaming for years that Westminster is corrupt as fuck! We have known this for ages but England does not listen or learn.
I’m English and I’m one of the rare Englishmen who also sees this and new this would happen during the Cameron Government… it makes me sick to see my birth nation die and also drag the U.K. down with it ….

It is of my opinion that the Far Right in Britain, and the Mainstream of British Media sank Britain.
The Tories are just in the eye of the storm, and both seen, and took advantage of what they could gain from it.
Polititions tend to move in a reactionary way, rather than actionary.
@@pocolol8424 Blair often gets lots of plaudits from people who didn't suffer under New Labour. Plenty did suffer however, and those who looked closely saw that New Labour's economic policy diverged very little from the Neo Liberal nonsense pushed by Thatcher.
It's that ideology that is the problem and laid the foundations for the misery we are going into. Whether a 'new' Labour government will alter this rather than play the record again is in some doubt.
Of course it's the system that gave them a massive majority of seats. They won 43.6% of votes but that gave them 56.2% of the seats. If it was Proportional Representation the parties would have to talk to each other, come to a consensus. Which would reflect the majority of anti-tory votes.
Totally agree on Proportional Representation but also media lies need controlling to achieve democracy. Along with online voting by citizens on key issues throughout parliaments.
where did the money saved through austerity end up?
Into the pockets of Tory donors!
Good Question!
Isle of Man, jersey, Cayman Islands etc etc! 😢
In the annual covid piss up with pm party while we was locked up
The money saved through austerity would (mostly) ultimately end up in the investment accounts of the wealthy. The problem with the theory is that the investments of the wealthy don't necessarily end up as productive investments within the UK: the resulting investments are often world-wide, or are not necessarily put to productive use in the UK (a lot went into real estate price appreciation, for instance.)

What did Tony Soprano say?
Shit goes downhill, money goes up.
Don’t discount brexit it’s a huge huge reason why the U.K. is basically dying on its arse. I daily seeing more business moving out of this country.
That mixed with austerity has been a ticking time bomb that will get worse.
Austerity for the working class, hand outs and ridiculous tax rates for the rich and corporations. I'm not even gonna go into the dishonesty, betrayal and economic disaster that the Brexit is, and will for the upcoming decades for the working class. If you're from a working class family and you vote Torries, I don't know what's wrong with you.
Looking at these charts how could anyone still think that it is a good idea to vote Tory? How could anyone still believe the myth that they are economically competent or give a damn about the ordinary Brit?
You get the feeling when seeing these stark numbers and trends and contemplate what they represent. It is unavoidable to consider the average Brit to be an embecile. Especially when considering all of this was easily avoided if not for the trend of anti intellectualism that permeates the whole of society. People wear their ignorance like a badge and vote as such.
Well said Eeb Zookee
To sayAusterity caused the mysery is inadequate to describe the sheer spite and nastiness from Tories to everyone else.
Yet Labour is the champion of mass migration. Importing cheap labour (at least some of them) isn't the way to raise pay rates.
And yet some people still like to insist that there's no difference between Labour and the Tories. The graphs shown this video indicate a pretty clear, quantifiable difference.
UK doesn't have a very well educated populace
You'll get austerity with Reeves and Starmer. Enjoy
UK doesn't have a well educated population because the government doesn't fund it properly, just like with the NHS and most other public services...
@@basfinnis And yet the graphs show public spending rising under a Labour government whose ideology wasn't too far from Starmer's.
@atadblue this is thr truth! Does Blairism give utopia to everyone? No
Is it vastly better than the Tory alternative? Unquestionably!
We seem to have an economy based on the premise that water accelerates as it circles the plughole.
This is good 🤣🤣
The Tories just carried on where Bliar left off.
why did the country give power to the Tories since everything was working under Labour?!
Great video
Totally baffled as to why people still vote conservative especially the working class
But the problem is the British have this inherent issue with the class system and feeling they are better than the person next door so to speak. I’m not working class anymore blah blah blah, I’ve moved on my family have etc
The Tories have decimated public services such as
NHS
Police
Prison
Care service
Fire
Probation
Transport
I’ve personal experience from working in the Prison service which from about 2013 onwards was decimated with austerity & terrible decisions by government resulting in a service on its knees that lost thousands of experienced staff and so many problems but it’s all hidden and the prison service is the forgotten service
Thankfully myself & my family moved to Australia 6 years ago
Nowhere is perfect but UK is in a rapid decline
I hate to say it, but it's racism, xenophobia and a general fear of people having their stuff taken from them by others, the irony being of course this is exactly what the tories are doing.
With these facts how come British vote tory. Whats wrong with the people. Well should say english cause wales votes labour and scotland votes nationalist but english Westminster n holds power and control.
because brits are strange
Because of our piss poor media I suspect! I'm in a builders group on Facebook with 70k members and the vast majority think they are middle class success stories because they earn a decent amount of money (recession hasn't bit yet) and drive a brand new van! Any mention of Tory incompetence and they bring up Blair, Brown and Corbyn in Farage parrot fashion! It beggars belief!
@@saltney17 The English, not Brits. Tories don't have a majority in other parts of Britain, least of all Scotland. Saying "Brits" allows the real culprits to get away with murder.
I'm English, and I've never voted for this shit, thanks very much!!!
It should be pointed out also that the state pension in the UK is by far the lowest compared with European countries.
Yeah but from a Conservative point of view you should be grateful you get that.
Austerity today, Austerity tomorrow Austerity forever. General election please.
i'm not a fan of Labour, but the recent Tory PMs May, Boris, Truss and Rishi are the best thing to happen to the Labour party in years, they might just win the next election by default if not by popularity.
I will say if they actually stuck to their word and abolished the house of lords they'd certainly win me over a bit, it'd be a real step in the right direction for our democracy but i can't see that happening.
It gives such an insight to right wing press mentality, that they will publish graphs clearly showing Labour are better, but still struggle to actually say the words 'Labour are better'
He actually said “under new Labour”. The old Labour in the 1970’s didn’t do quite as well for many reasons. I started work in 1973 so experienced the real Winter of Discontent at the end of the decade personally. The unions basically ran the Labour Party, and given the high inflation at that time (inflation was at 26.9% for the year to August 1975) and the unions not surprisingly wanted pay rises to match this and the Labour government tried in vain to stop this as it was felt this would make inflation worse, by attempting to restrict pay rises to 5%, which they were unable to do. This led to many strikes and a very bad time for many people. All sound familiar. This to me is why we need to remove ideology from the situation both from the right and left as history shows it doesn’t work. Remember what replaced the left wing Labour government in May 1979 in a swing to the other end of the political spectrum. A moderate centre ground Labour government is needed urgently to attempt to rectify the damage caused by this crazy extreme right wing Tory government but it’s not going to be quick or easy.
And yet, the UK keeps voting tory?
Aside from austerity, the other big difference between Britain and the peer countries is the fact that the British have an entrenched aristocracy. Austerity + Aristocracy = crap
Aristocracy + austerity = feudalism
When You say I am from England people actually laugh I wonder why
I'm Welsh but when I lived abroad in Asia many years ago people think I'm English lol they all think its just the queen and England is all there is here not Scotland not Wales or Northern Ireland which make up the UK
I think because the word “British” is a synonym for “inhabitants of England” to outsiders. (Because everyone has heard of Westminster). Variances in “British” accents to the extent they are detected are viewed as regionalisms, rather than speech from actual separate countries. Please continue to try to educate people about this, please.
They do it out of pity!
I am so glad you pointed this out in 2008 when we had the crash the Tories were really incompetent
A worldwide crash that every other country recovered from but the tories made far worse. Just a fact.
Weren't labour in gov. 2008 ?
Agree big time
It's because they put their own people first there MPs work for them the MPs of this country are too busy lining their own pockets and looking after the rich
You should try and interview George Osborne (ex Chancellor of the Exchequer) about Austerity?....Ask in hindsight would he have engineered the same "destructive" policy considering David Cameron miscalculated the consequences of the Brexit Referendum result. The "unbiased" economic arguments are the polar opposite of any political capital in support of Brexit.
The writing was on the wall years ago when the UK electorate voted for austerity promoting partys there was enough I'm alright Jack's to keep the Tories in govt it's taken covid and the last two years to bring it home to people who thought that they were OK that actually they're not the problem is starmer doesn't offer any hope just more of the same! I emigrated over 10yrs ago and told my family and friends that the UK under the Tories was finished and the future was bleak I also told them that if they voted for brexit they had to vote Labour because Labour offered the best version which would cause less damage than the one offered by the Tories! The rest is history!
As if Tony Blair and Gordon Browns Labour government didn't make us poorer .none of them have done anything for ordinary working people.
It is very rich that _The Economist_ recognizes Brexit as one of the reasons for British downspiral (without, of course, going into what and who was _behind_ this disastrous decition), given how "Euro-skeptic" they always were.
It was the Tories what did it but what come back do we have?
It is unfortunate that the French gravity propelled pointy thing is frowned upon nowadays.
I understand that Boris has updated the "let them eat cake" quote to "let them snort coke" Oh well, sign of the times I suppose.
Austerity measures ushered in under the Tory/Lib Dem Coalition was always a political and ideological choice, it wasn't helped by the 'there's no money left' note left by the Labour (can't remember his name!) Chancellor, that meant it was easier to blame Labour for the financial crash
That story was made up... by the Conservatives.
And so will Labour!
I am not a Labour fan. I think they're a terrible political option. So when I say I'd rather vote Labour over the Conservatives, that is a bold statement. The Conservatives have trashed this country so badly that even the woefully awful Labour Party would do a better job.
Austerity equals a shrinking economy as the mass market consumers as a group in aggregate become slowly and inexorably poorer as time goes by
Especially if it's paired with policies that cut you off from your main export market...
Incredible!!! Germany, France, Netherlands, Australia and Canada still pay TAXES TOO, lol!!! Look at the mammoth industrial action coming from Public Services from NHS to Rail to Roads Maintenance. Go get'em men and women!!! The idea that only one holds the £ 💰 ain't on!!! Then you singularly do the job.
People tend to get caught up in labels. Labels don't mean much. No one group is particularly good or bad. No form of government is particularly good or bad. Any group or government is only as good or bad as the people in it. People are good or bad.
The Tories are own & rules on the behalf of the offshore banking system. But it is not only them. The Labour Party under Tony Blair was the catalyst.
Thatcher did that, following on from Heath's government, which included both Barber (the proto-Truss) and members of the Monday Club and Club for Growth. Blair was just a Red Thatcherite and Brown couldn't bring it back before the crash and the return of the Tories under Cameron.
@@anonUK .. Got it.
Thracther sold off the oil steel boats and whatever else
Blair brown sold off the gold we robbed
New tories just want to firesell NHS and human rights of its people
Nope mate. Thatcher is. Blair kept the system going but tried to benefit everyone. Cameron ditched that and announced austerity for the poor and tax giveaways for the rich.
@@uniteddreamer .. Got it.
We're a basket case run by a shower of baskets 🧺
Remember there is no money left when labour left?.. Labour spent all the money Maggie had created 😂😂😂
UK is 5th or 6th in GDP and richness in the world but at the same time among the worst investing in and taking care of it's own population. That is the first basic responsibility of a first world country. How is this possible? Where has all the wealth created gone?
At the same time Britain has the most previous colonies that are tax havens and residents who are NONDOMS, not paying UK tax on all of their income. How is this possible?
