This is the bit they don't get - they can quote economic stats - they can make claims about growth - doesn't matter with the electorate its actually how they feel - how their pockets are affected - is their spending restricted and are they being squeezed. In the end nobody cares about growing 1% more than somewhere else over 20 years they realise that they are always skint and what was the norm is now a treat and what was a treat is beyond them. Its the economy stupid is the truth.


 
OK, I can draw you a parallel.

School A gets 30% of Its pupils 5 or more top GCSE grades.

School B gets 90%.

If School A gets an increase of 10%, and School B only 5%, which of the two schools would you choose for your kids? The Tory/Brexit argument says school A is better.
