By and large the electorate gets the politicians they deserve, time and time again unless its some emergency like war, the voting masses do not vote for people who tell the truth or are "authentic", they vote for people who tell them what they want to believe.

How else do you explain people like our friend Tricky who claims to be working class but puts his faith in right wing ideology driven by rich people who couldn't give a stuff about the working class. Why did the germans vote Hitler into power? Why did working class Americans vote for Trump?
Wow back to normal we go.

"claim" to be working class?
I think I can "claim" to be more working class than you are.

My faith in right idiology as you call it, isn't down to a desire to line any ones up the ladder pockets.
I think my "working class" party has been hijacked by far left loons that have very little in whats right for the rest of us and it appears the electorate agreed.
So restore a credible opposition and I'll vote for it with a pleasure. So far we've had the worst Labour party leader in 85 years and a Liberal party led by a deluded idiot, who proclaimed herself the next priminister, whilst crapping on every voter in the country.

They voted Hitler and Trump in, because they were sick to death of detached MP's thinking they didn't have to listen to anyone else and crapping on everyone.
Are you comparing Trump with the rise of the Nazi's BTW?

Working class people are who you have to convince to get voted into office in any country.
Ask yourself why you and your ilk failed.
