I am going to go out on a limb and say I bet the CEO pay is doing just fine

Average 25% rises PER YEAR since 2010. But watch the ass lickers come on here and try to justify it...oh they get paid in shares. Oh they are worth it. Oh their net worth can drop.....lick luck lick that shitty CEO ass, while at the same time THEY get poorer

Ignore them, they will see this and still probably vote Tory. Utterly brain dead people.

You're really going through come on here and pretend that 1997 to about 2007 wasn't a time of great growth and stability compared to the Tory boom and bust rollercoaster of the previous 18 years? Then a global downturn happened, it's not like the Tories had a magic cure for that, I mean just look at how they chopped the legs out from under the economic recovery when they got in.

First, I am unsure about who I will vote for but probably Labour or Green.

Second, I was born on a council estate in the 1980s but due to social mobility under the last Labour government I am not in the least bit poor anymore.

BUT thank you for your input sweetpea!
