It's all about the fact that research shows younger men are relatively right wing but younger women are left wing together with a bit by a woman in her 20's who was apparently the only Labour supporter at her posh school. There's also a bit from a Tim Nicebutdim who got kicked out of a party when a guest outed him as a TERF.

It's interesting on dating apps that left wing people will loudly proclaim they won't date a Tory but I've never seen the opposite.

I am married to one. I mean not an actual Tory in the sense that she would vote for them now (that would be insane obviously) but firmly right of centre political views and voted for Brexit (although has the good grace to be embarrassed about it now to be fair). 

Surely quite an academic question for much of the active dating population, what with conservative voters under 30 currently being rarer than rocking horse sh1t

depends if she had a fit arse or not

who'd want to date her? went to cambridge.

research absolutely does not show that young men, nor young anyone or anything else, are right wing

right wing smells of old

"rarer than rocking horse shit" always makes me chuckle

I think they're pretty rare even among the over 30s - Lydia and Chambo being the only ones I can name. 

Even Sailo is wavering. 

Ok, maybe Clubbers and Judy Carter.

I think the percent of under 25s intending to vote Tory is well under 10 per cent.   Young people are not rightwing, men or women.

since society has relentlessly fvcked the prospects of the young to feather the finances of the old, it is unsurprising that young people prefer to look to forced mechanisms of distributing wealth and opportunity fairly, rather than resting in “self reliance”, which ofc always means privately negotiated patronage anyway

Do you make her say things like

Bring back the poor house. Yeah baby. 

Drown those immigrants. I love to hear them choke. 

White supremacy - yeah give it to me. 

Cut those benefits. Let them starve. 

Genocide now! (Tbf, that's labours bag too) 

I can see how that can be a turn on. 

Some of the older guard like Sayeeda Warsi seem not have gone completely batshit but they're cracking on and the age gap is a bit too much for me. Can't see myself with anyone still associating with what they are at this stage. I like people with a moral compass. The activists are just nauseating.

Bigger question is - why would anyone date a self righteous guardianista? Unless one enjoyed being berated about one’s way of life and being constantly reminded how allegedly morally superior your other half’s life choices were. I suspect yes, a few rof centrist dud’s have that kind of masochistic fetish.

I have done

It was fine 

Subsequently he'd occasionally message me about how terrible the SNP are and I never replied

Aren’t other people awful?

The difference between Tories are non Tories are the former thrive on greed and selfishness. The latter tend to give a crap about people besides themselves and their own. That's why they're generality twots. 

The Political party know that the population aren't twots which is why they frame their policies as good medicine for the country. 

Oh yes. Ra Ra. We need to freeze pay and smash the unions because otherwise we'll have inflation but bankers should be allowed uncapped bonuses because Ra Ra the bankers are the rain makers. **Laughs in Tory**

If she’s personable and attractive, yes. Same applies to all.

Anybody who starts out with such a strident and immovable position is to be avoided. What will be will be and I’d worry about political leanings like all other personality traits a bit further down the line.

Tories who assert social superiority are utter bores. 

Yeah it’s a lot simpler. More chilled out, can have a laugh, less likely to have mental issues. Honestly how can anyone be happy with a frothing lefty who’s always angry and celebrating victimhood. 

I think you’ll find that in the 60s, lefty ladies were prized for their broad mindedness 

The media are over w**king this and acting like men are all rightcels who can't talk to women in case they get put in jail for sexual harassment based on something they read in The Guardian 

You think I exaggerate but there was an article in the Telegraph this week that said this more or less word for word with no nuance 

The average person doesn't give 2 shits either way IRL I'm convinced of it .
