So you reckon the majority of voters don't think about what's best for themselves and the issues they care about when casting their vote? Interesting. Makes you wonder why ed bothered with populist policies at all if he was simply trying to appeal to the voters who only thought of what was best for the country. I've given this example before, but one reason I voted conservative at this election is because I thought they were better for my business. When my business does well I'm able to pay all of my staff a lot more (some of my staff earn more than me.) how is that selfish?
