Imagine being a rational human being, hearing Boris repeat over and over again "we need to get brexit done" and thinking that's the man for me. Boris is just the tip of the iceberg of whats wrong with voting Tory.
It's 2007.
American banks are selling mortgages to people who have next to no credit rating and can barely afford to pay the interest back on their loans on the lower percentage variable rates, let alone when those rates double after the initial period ends. The two ratings agencies are fighting with one another for business so they'll give any loans a AAA rating for the banks regardless of their value. It's unregulated and highly illegal activity.
Then the shit starts and millions of people begin to default on their loans and lose their homes. And then the whole thing comes crashing down.
It's 2008 and the effects are felt all across the world. The biggest money maker in the world economy no longer makes money. Funds that invested in what was meant to be a sure thing find out that their money is all gone. People start losing jobs left right and centre and we enter the Great Recession.
And nobody from the banks goes to jail because all attention is drawn to people on benefits and Johnny Foreigners being blamed for it all.
In short; people are easily manipulated into believing the easiest excuse, instead of the more complex real life ones.
