Yes there is, and it’s sad that you think otherwise.
There is a world of difference between Labour and Tory politicians. Promoting and reinforcing the idea that they are all the same is a deliberate obfuscation by Conservative interests, with the the intention of confusing the electorate into giving their misdemeanours a free pass.
It’s about the owners, but I can’t help but weigh in on the trustworthy politician thing.
In my opinion, for a while, the Tories have lost their way. I’m not concerning myself with policy, just trustworthiness. Boris Johnson epitomizes the worst of it, in terms of lying and breaking the rules. But he was enabled by plenty of others around him who were at it as well. Generally there has been a feeling of, “Do as I say, not as I do” around the Tory party for a while.
With that said, and not wanting to go into minute detail, Teresa May passed the trustworthiness test for me. Ok, she was handed a shit sandwich in trying to implement Brexit, but I thought she was a hard working and decent person.
On the Labour side they are generally better off in terms of trustworthiness than some of the recent Tories we have seen. Starmer and Johnson looks like chalk and cheese. But if willing, I’m sure we could find plenty of Labour MPs who were hypocritical, in terms of feathering their own nest.
Going back a generation, I thought John Smith was very trustworthy, and his untimely death was a real shame. Tony Blair came in with a lot of fanfare, but in terms of being trustworthy, he lost his way with Iraq.
Bottom line:
The current Labour Party is more trustworthy than the Conservatives, on the whole, but we don’t have to dig very deep to find hypocrites throughout the world of politics.
