It was only when I left and went to university two years later that I started to find out what kind of evil bigots the Tories were. I never even knew what Section 28 was until then.
I was voting conservative for a pretty long time. Until they turned from supporting a free market to supporting corporations and taking a shit on small businesses and people working hard for their living.
Nothing to be ashamed over. It all depends on the candidates and their programs. If the conservatives actually came up with someone and something that isn't millionaire only, I would vote for them again under certain circumstances.
Depending on how the SPD presents itself over the next months I might be tempted to give my vote to the CDU in the federal election for the first time in my life 1. to reward AM for her unpopular stance on refugee politics and 2. to weaken the AfD. But I might not get myself to do it after all. I'd feel so dirty.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
