"There is a lot of chat about rich tories and poor labour voters. At what point are you rich ? and does it effect the way you vote if you become rich ? " If you are rich and running a business you're more likely to vote Tory. If you're just rich and feeling guilty you're more likely to vote Labour or sit on the Labour front bench. I think Harriet Harman is the richest MP. Though I'll probably be corrected | |||

"There is a lot of chat about rich tories and poor labour voters. At what point are you rich ? and does it effect the way you vote if you become rich ? I think most people would say that if you are on an annual 6 figure salary you are definitely well off to rich. Obviously when we talk about millionaires and upwards most people would call them the super or mega rich. Does been rich or poor effect the way you vote? yes and no. Yes because there is a general societal divide, no because some poor people have have a different world view or philosophy. Then you get into the question of what defines poor and rich, and sub-brackets within the classes. eg, traditional working class, modern working class, affluent and emergent class (if anyone else uses those terms) middle class. It's a really open ended question, and right now, nearly ten years on from the financial class traditional voting blocks are shattered. Lets face it, everyone is looking for something new or different.." so if you need a £100,000 plus to be rich and only the rich vote tory then there must be some serious vote rigging going on for them to win elections | |||

"My ex-wife owns her own horse. Does that mean she's rich? Yet she lives in an ex-council house, is single, and has a job that pays just over minimum wage." No, since when has owning a horse made you rich? When I lived in Swansea, you'd see horses tethered, grazing roundabouts. | |||

No, since when has owning a horse made you rich? When I lived in Swansea, you'd see horses tethered, grazing roundabouts. " She keeps the horse in livery, and competes with it. Livery is not cheap. Many people see horse ownership as being the domain of the rich. But in my ex-wife's case, all it means is she chooses to spend her disposable income on a horse. Though many people would say she must be well off to be able to do that. Probably a lot of those think nothing of spending their disposable income on 20 cigs every day. My point is that wealth is, in most circumstances, a matter of perception. | |||

" I would say for me it's really about job security and being content with what you have. Some people get so stressed out trying to fit in with material wealth | |||
