United Kingdom

I think there's a more fundamental issue than that. Many many Tory voters are of the opinion that life shouldn't improve. They want to "conserve".

I've spoken to Tory voters about exactly this and their opinion is that they had to work 5 days a week so everyone else should have to. Even if it's overall worse for all involved. The same rule can be applied to anything. If they had to suffer, everyone else should also have to suffer. Tories are selfish, and regressive.
