"If I'd said the Conservatives only give vaccine to people they care about then "by your logic, they must care about them." would be correct." Experience suggests that this is indeed the case one therefore suspects that it is in-fact the Tory voting demographic they are protecting..I can't but surmise that the "data-vampires" believe that they are protecting their investment..approx. 50% of over 50s and 65% of over 65s voted Tory at the last election, quote; "So, how do teachers vote? Since 1997, the profession has traditionally voted Labour, along with many other public service workers. Our Teacher Tapp panel – which now numbers over 3,500 – followed this same pattern at the last election. In 2017, around 60% of them said they cast a vote for the Labour party, while only 12% voted Conservative, which might account for why so many Tory teachers have said they feel uneasy talking about politics in the staffroom. Teacher support for Labour is not inevitable, however. When we polled last November, only 47% of teachers said they would vote Labour if a snap election was called. Admittedly, things were even worse for the Conservative party, which garnered just 9% of the vote. One reason for the dip was that a substantial number of teachers changed to “I don’t know yet” – a category that isn’t available when asking people how they voted at the last election. However, even if we assume that every person in that group voted the same as they did previously, it still wouldn’t get Labour back up to its original position. And things are now looking worse for the party. Last month, when a number of MPs broke away from the traditional political parties to form the Independent Group (or TIG, for short), we polled teachers to find out how attractive they found the new group. Despite TIG having no leader, no policies and no unifying philosophy, they came out as the group teachers were most likely to vote fore if a snap election were called. To reiterate: a group that people know almost nothing about received the highest number of teacher votes (21%). Labour was, admittedly, only a smidgeon behind, at 20%, and the Conservatives, down to 5%, were decimated. But, still, how are we living in a world where an entirely untested group is somehow preferred by teachers? It’s no surprise that teachers are losing patience In part, the trend appears to be age-related. Labour remains broadly popular among under-30s and over-60s. But there is a real distaste for politics among the current 30-55 age group, which makes up a huge amount of the teaching population." https://schoolsweek.co.uk/if-there-was-an-election-tomorrow-who-would-teachers-vote-for/ https://teachertapp.co.uk/teachers-vote-general-election-intentions-predict/ Teachers have one of the largest percentages of Labour voters by profession.. |
