Why would you be a straight Torie voter in the UK but here you would be a Democrat till the late 90s-early 00s. Democrats in the 50s and 60s were  similar to the Labour Party even though they werent as far too the left while the Republicans were pretty similar to the Tories at the time just like they were in the 80s.

[Blair]

Gary Lineker, JK Rowling, Gareth Southgate, Trevor McDonald, Peter Mandelson and Michael Portillo would all have had a good shot at being President in the last 20 years.

Cameron wasn't that bad after all, and the Labour challengers had nothing to offer, i guess in 2010 and 2015. Why would I vote for Brown or Milliband, i don't know. I might have abstained though or vote for a perrenial third party, i don't know.

If you are going to vote for a Tory no matter what, you might as well cut the middle man /s

It's even weirder in the context of voting for insane recluse/possible informer Scargill in 2005. And also Miliband isn't significantly to the Right of most of the previous Labour leaders that he apparently has no problems voting for.

[LAKISYLVANIA]

I just don't know honestly, might just have abstained... Corbyn and Tony Benn, Attlee and MacDonald are the only ones i would have turned out enthusiastically for. I just see no reason to vote for centrist Labourites like Blair and Brown who did anything but help the working class (and in case of Blair even made war crimes), like what's the difference between Blair and Cameron or Blair and Reagan. I honestly don't know.

And centrists sometimes aren't better than right-wing candidates... See Macron. I honestly think Marine Le Pen would be better for the working class in France. I might've supported Macron once, but now i'm leaning towards Le Pen if the second round is repeated. We already know what we get if we vote for centrists and it's horrible, why not give the right a chance. At least economically they're better candidates, and all i care about is working class interests economically and the environment (and maybe some social policies).

I know more from US politics than UK politics although, that might explain the weird voting pattern. I don't know Milliband and a lot of the other past Labour candidates i voted for.

Cameron did not stand up for the working class and it's absurd to think Le Pen would. Remember when people thought Trump would be working class-friendly Republican based on some of his campaigning? And he's governed exactly like a typical Republican in that regard.
