My late father was a Conservative voter.
He took up this position principally from loving money and loathing trade unions and Labour politicians, believing Conservative leadership of the country would most enable families to earn and save money and protect its value.
I think my father’s priorities were warped and he had many faults, principally the way he treated my mother. But for all his faults he did leave us both something, albeit limited, when he died.
So, I wonder what he would make of the situation now, where the value of what he left us has been totally undermined, by the rank incompetence of the party he supported in collapsing the markets and triggering rampant inflation, while those who are in trade unions have through the power of collective bargaining at least some chance of seeing their earnings protected.
