We went to the Popular Conservativism conference to ask Tories how they think they'll win the next election. Reporter: Ed Campbell Camera: Sam Sharrocks Subscribe to our new podcast now, or you're a silly goose: linktr.ee/pubcast
Its even ironic that they fail to see the irony, being that they've grown up with a private education and consider themselves to be intelligent, yet lack the awareness to see further beyond the inside of their own arsehole.
He wasn't referring to an election result, he was referring to their performance whilst the tories were still in power. We'll see how labour do. I think they're just as terrible as each other, Labour under Starmer is just the new 'I'll say whatever I need to in order to get elected' party that no one wants nor needs but had to vote for to get the other crooks out.
@donny1960 when they are that tribal, it's what helps them sleep at night instead of facing "their" parties own shortcomings. I'm more of pragmatist, I do not have "a party" like I would support a rugby team, it makes it easily to see how far the ersatz conservatives had declined.
@@donny1960 Maybe he was channeling his inner Dunning I mean Danny Kurger. Who said Labour would just keep doing what the Tories did by destroying the country, so you should vote Tory to stop them doing what they did over the last 14 years! I swear the last few years of British politics have been the death knell for political satirists. They'd throw the scripts out on the basis of it sounding far too outrageous! Just reporting reality is like satire of old, only more unhinged.
@@mycosys It's all a game to some. The real job of a politician is to represent the people that cast their votes, it doesn't matter if the person elected was once a road sweeper, cleaner or a business magnate, we need people who are honest, trustworthy, approachable and willing to listen. Sadly some voters are fooled by the 'Eaton Brigade' and believe in their waffle. I hasten to point out I have nothing against going to Eaton, I just don't like rudeness.
I bet the pompous guy who said "people went silly with their money then blamed the government" must be living on this family trust fund and inheritance. Still haven't a clue why the Tories lost..
We need more Tory's like him - make sure they NEVER get back into power! What an idiot. And, oddly for someone who looks quite young, so out of touch...
Embarrassed isn’t the correct word but it’s definitely concerning. Given the disarray of the Conservatives, Labour should have captured far more than 33% of the vote. That is less than Corbyn in 2017.
@calumm8165 labour played the electoral system and won, vote share is meaningless, what matters is seat they played for seats and got a huge majority.
They worship him and base their personalities on him, he exudes arrogance and has a confidence to him that draws young men in. People with critical thinking will see the arrogance and confidence are a thin mask to hide his utter incompetence and his big fancy words are used to cover his utter ignorance of how the real world works. They don’t see that they just see him being confident.
Wonderful that the younger Tories continue to vocalize all the stupidities that brought such public contempt down upon them. With this generation of fools coming up to fill the ranks we might be safe from a Tory revival for quite a while yet.
He, I get the impression, knows the score of losing an election badly, and knows how the party should rebuild after the 1997 disaster. The young tories know nothing but power, so it’s a massive culture shock for them, and a lot of them speak as if they’re still in government, or that they will be after the next election. The sense of entitlement is off the scale, and many of them aren’t ready for the hard years of graft that lie ahead, as Labour have just experienced for nearly a decade and a half…
1:37 Holy shit. This guy used to go to my school (I went to a private international school in Borneo) and I always remember him being an asshole even though he was only there for around 2-3 years. He was always weird to the girls in our year and always got into trouble. Also made fun of my friend for being a gay man, kept saying racial slurs around my Nigerian friend, and harassed me with a large group of kids. Crazy to think that this is what he's doing now wtf. Could've sworn he had a more south London accent back then too
@@rthonlimbu8134 Aren’t you his father? Makes sense you wouldn't know all this since he was a boarding kiddie (though you really should've paid attention to him more!). I still have a video of one of these incidents in fact! I'd be happy to send it to you if you could detail where I can privately message you~ Also like... You might wanna check his browser history, he talked about watching anime pornography with young girls in it in class back then too.
The detachment from reality is almost complete, only that old man spoke something close to reasonable. The rest just reinforce how repulsive the Tories are.
That kid who said you're skint basically because you spent all your money is going places. That's the kind of tories they want. He knows it. Class wars, acting arrogant, seeking attention. You can see it over his face, he knows what he's doing,what it takes to make it.
Watching this reminds me of Monty Python's Upper Class Twit of the Year sketch. An originally American long time friend here in Australia told me he went to England as an innocent 18 year old from Kansas when the Pythons were first on the telly. Joked it took him a while to realise it was a comedy and not a documentary.
Amazing that the Tories in the UK and the Republicans in the US sing from the same hym book: low taxes, no regulations, no immigrants, blah blah blah! And these policies have failed consistently.
Wow, those young Tories are creepy! If that's the next generation of Conservativs then the party really is finished. The older guy was the only one who sounded reasonable and humbled by the defeat.
Something so wrong about a 20 year old praising a government after a 14 year term that started when he was 6.... he literally had zero responsibilities for most it... it is truely sickening to see him blame the poor for being poor because they mismanaged money. Entitled and lacking empathy, he'll go far in the Tory ranks for sure
When you listen to these young conservatives and realise how unlike 90% of the population they are - in the way they speak, their values, their opinions, their denial of the new reality - you really get a sense that a Conservative government will always act in the interests of a small privileged, wealthy niche, and ignore the broader needs of mainstream society.
I have not met a single person that woke up without money having wasted it and blamed the government. If ever you needed a sentence to show just how out of touch the Tories are that one lands with a BANG!
The super rich aren't going to leave London anytime soon for a crime ridden, low tax shithole! Where are they going to go to that gives a better all round standard/quality of life than UK? The "Low Paid Rich" engineers, traders, Doctors and the like will and always have left UK for zero/low tax opportunities regardless of the Govt in power. The thing is...the latter group always end up back in the UK when health or old age catches up with them. They're not stupid!
I wonder if he knows that not everyone has a grand as their weekly allowance to waste on whatever bougie products they can find. People live in different realities in this country.
I mean that second young conservative then lecturing the poor on spending their money unwisely and blaming the Tories for it. What a...I mean...how can you be so obtuse and so unaware?
After they've completely wasted millions on the Rwanda policy which achieved nothing, crashed the economy, and gutted the public services in the country.
And going on to talk about “grassroots” Tories!!!! What even is that? People who are just relinquishing their last tenuous grasp of reality before going fully deluded psychopath….?🥴🤦♂️🤔
Absolutely, but when you just look at the sense of entitlement on display here, I think you can understand why corruption & lack of morals are such a blind spots for them!?
Oh no, you missed it. Aside from a couple hiccups and bumps in the road, the Conservatives did a bang on job. Probably the best government in the history of all governments. It's so hard being a Prime minister.
"As much structure as my dining room table." Dining room tables famously known very specifically for their load bearing and stability. Absolute lunatic.
The younger Tories taking about how their party did so much better than anyone else could when they're too young to remember any other party in power. Laughable.
"The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy, that is, the search for a moral justification for selfishness." … John Kenneth Galbraith
The Tories lost my vote because they are far too far right when it comes to social and environmental policy. Sadly, their idiotic assessment is bound to assume it’s because they were too centrist.
'People blame the Government when they spend all their money and run out '? WHAT? 'People blame the Government for things the Councils are responsible for, you know, pot holes'! Oh my word, talk about having no idea.
@@robinjones5169 Well the Tories are the ones who were constantly resisting electoral reform and so a bit of poetic justice That being said, I do favour electoral reform myself.
That would require them to not be delusional and actually be capable of rational, critical thought. But they’re modern tory party members by choice, so that rules that out.
People wake up with no money in their account because they were silly with their money. I would love to see that guy go speak to families who work and are still on the breadline. Being silly with their money means having to spend it on food and bills.
That young lad at 03:51 blaming poor people for being poor has just ended any prospects of a future political career. Those comments will be used against him again and again....he'll regret it
Reese moggs: those who died in Grenfell lacked common sense.......completely ignoring the fire strategy of stay in place and the instructions given by the CFO on the night. Victim blaming is rampant.
Favorite scene in the whole show is Alan ready to throw Piers into the Thames, shouting “You cost me £100,000,000!” “But you’re a millionaire already, you don’t need the money” “No I don’t need it, Piers, but I WANT it, because I’m very very greedy, Piers. THAT is why I became a Conservative!”
I've always thought of lack of empathy as a characrter flaw, and I suppose, to an extent I still do. I certainly don't surround myself with low empathy people. But I've started to realise that empathy, like any other human characteristic that can be measured (like height, BMI, athletic ability, anything) will ultimately form a bell curve when plotted on a graph of the population at large, with the vast majority of people somewhere the middle, and outliers on each end. It's a shame that people on the extreme low end of the empathy sociopathy spectrum are so successful at convincing so many of those in the middle that they represent them. They are effective precisely because they literally don't give a hoot about anyone besides themselves. That, for me is the foundation of conservatism. People don't get to be super rich by having any sort of conscience about exploiting others. Jeff Bezos could easily afford to pay his workers three or four times what he does without any real impact on his life, but why doesn't he? I guess he needs that money for the first tourist ticket to Mars or whatever. And why would anyone who claims to be patriotic believe a billionaire newspaper owner who goes to extreme lengths to avoid paying tax, and contributing to schools, hospitals and social care that the rest of us do? They can make the right noises about supporting our troops for example, while simultaneously undermining their support. We need to stop thinking of these people as successful examples to emulate, and think more about protecting the majority against their worst excesses.
Read “the psychopath test” by Jon Ronson. It delves into what you are talking about. The idea that the world is ran by sociopaths with no compassion or empathy. If they had it they would never rise to ruling positions.
@@ScubbyDooks72 I applaud you for framing this so well. This really is brilliantly put. I would love to hear you deliver this to any one of the young Tories in the film here, then to hear their responses.
“It’s almost as embarrassing as what happened to us”… yeah I’m sure Starmer is really worried about that and is about to hand his resignation in as we speak
You aren't concerned that Labour only got a third of the vote when their two main opponents were literally investigated by the police? No love for the tories obviously but I do find it DEEPLY ironic that Starmer told those on the left for YEARS how unelectable Corbyn was and ends up 3 million less votes than he got. A blind skunk could have more votes against the tory shower than Starmer did.
@@sierra5360 they are in for a long spell as opposition. A lot of them think that Labour will decline and naturally hand them the keys. That is making the mistake of every Labour opposition from 2010 to 2019. That and if Labour do well in government, they could well gain in vote share but potentially not gain seats, as some of the former supporters that deserted them in urban seats may well come back if they see material improvements in their life. Either way, if the Tories think they just have to sit and wait for Labour to mess up and they sweep to power, they’re sorely mistaken.
@@josephdyson3737 Also those young Tories don't seem to take into account that the turnout at this election was down, a lot of people thought the election was already over and thus didn't bother voting. Kinda similar to what happened in 2001, albeit Labour had 40% of the vote then. Also Voter ID would have played a huge factor in lower turnout as many of the people who were ethnic minority, disabled and young voters, who were more likely to vote Labour, Lib Dem or Greens. Voter ID also put off people from registering as they feared that they would be turned away or that they didn't have the right ID. Lastly, because Labour were so far ahead in the polls a lot of young voters and leftists saw the polls and felt Labour "had it in the bag" and felt they were safe enough to vote Green. If the polls had been closer, I think it's very likely that more of them would have voted Labour to maximise the chances of the Tories getting booted out. Of course many others, esepcially Muslim voters, didn't vote Labour in protest to Labour's inconsistent/confused stance on Gaza. Speculation on my part but I think those factors explain why Labour had a lower share of the vote. Either, If Labour do well, they'll probably win the next election with a reduced majority. It also depends on the Tories, if they move further to the right, then I reckon they will remain in opposition at the next election. If the Tories move to the centre then they might have a much better chance of winning or at least a good chance of winning back many of the seats that they lost.
@@Frserthegreenengine And shed loads of tactical voting, people voted to get rid of the Tories, so chose the best party to do that. Labour's vote was likely a lot more around the 40% which is about the maximum the Tories have ever got and most of the time they form a government with about 35%, pretty much the same amount that stupid young one was saying was embarrassing.
The bloke at the very start got it spot on. They just need to shut up and go away for a while and think about why the electorate just delivered one of the most concerted efforts in British electoral history to eject a governing party. People are beyond bored of their lies.
if these are examples of what the private school system churn out then I'm very glad I will never be able afford it for my own children. It must be nice to be so rich that you can't see and don't care about the real issues for the majority.
I worked in the private school system for 7 years. Most of the kids are great… unfortunately, the ones that idolized Boris growing up, came out total creeps.
Nah. I went to a private school. These kids are elite, this is Harrow and Eton stuff. Utterly detached. Lots of my mates lived on an estate and I went to school in a rusty Micra.
Interesting. I remember it (posh school leadership) was a big issue when Cameron came in in 2010. Now it seems normal. I'm glad the new cabinet reflects the population at large (ish).
Crying about vote share shows thry don't understand tactical voting. People hated them so much they deliberatly voted for non-labour parties to get the tories out.
If you are a young conservative and grew up solely with the last 14 years as your point of reference and you are still excited and drawn to such a party.... put them on a register now. Ankle bracelet monitoring them at all times, just in case.....
That's horrifying praising Mogg as a hero. The man looks like and is a villain. Want to know what the villain in 101 Dalmatians would look like if they were male? That's Mogg.
Well I mean mogg isn't really "in touch with the common man" and has said things about how the Conservatives should of had an electoral pact with ukip but yeaaaa we are judging him about how he looks :)
Reese moggs is an interesting character. He longs desperately to be blue blood aristocracy, but the truth is he isn't, his grand father was a Lorry driver, and his grandmother was a homemaker. Their daughter found a job as a secetary to Lord Reese Mogg and was quite a looker who caught his eye, his mother married into it, I do wonder if that is part of the reason for the way he is.
The first step in solving a problem is recognising there is a problem. These clowns are totally ignorant of why the electorate turned against them. Keep this up and they will not get back in
I see the Venn diagram of 'Apprentice candidate', 'human version of ventriloquist dummy', and 'can't go within 50 metres of a primary school' is thriving.
They have no idea how they have decimated the country. These type of people need to live under some sort of personal austerity so that they know how the working class are living
You think these types have visited a high street, gone bargain hunting in TK Maxx, put something back in Aldi because they can’t afford it, sat in the cold because they didn’t want to turn on the heating, used a bus? Of course not, they don’t understand or want to understand the regular person.
He drops to all fours and bounds onto the car bonnet, fingers gouging into the panel, metal twisting and buckling until the engine beneath sputters and fails. Your head swims, his tie seems to widen and widen, pushing out against the outside world, a boundary of silken unreality which spreads until only you and the young Tory remain. Gulping back spittle and suppressing a guttural snarl, he meets your eye. 'Allow me * gok *... allow me to explain... why * gok * you are poor'
Just Remember that most of these young men on here had everything handed to them on a plater. I'm willing to bet none of them had to scrap together money while working a minimum wage job to buy their first car. And none of them have ever been kept up at night by their plummeting bank account during tough economic times, worrying if they'll still have a roof over their head the next month. People my age can't even afford to go out drinking anymore or go on holiday otherwise we risk never owning a home in our lives. How out of touch they are isn't really surprising.
" A fair amount of mistakes"? The highest taxation level in 70 years, the highest fall in the standard of living in the same period, the smallest armed forces since the defeat of Napoleon, more food banks than McDonald's, the highest level of waiting lists in the NHS on record, collapsing school buildings, 140,000 unfilled vacancies in the NHS, and the national humiliation of Brexit, that has imposed economic sanctions on our own country that have cost us £ 100 Billion pa. " Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are conservative". John Stuart Mill
The chap at 00:20 who said 'People wake up with no money in their account, forgotting they spent it all and were silly with their money'. This just shows how put of touch some Conservative party members are, as if he lived in the real world he'd realise they spent all their money on rent, bills and food. They really don't understand the problem and wilp therefore struggle to find the solution.
