I too have done ok under all governments in the past 40 years, certainly the “not ok” periods have not primarily been the governments fault. But In that time there have been millions who have suffered due to government policies, and I mean suffered , not mildly inconvenienced by having only loads of money instead of shedloads, or only being able to buy a new BMW every two years instead of annually.
It is these people I think about when I vote , not myself.
That , of course, is a personal choice and is up to me and is neither right nor wrong.
I always used to believe that party politics should not influence local elections. Vote for what is best for the local community in those (Residents associations were big influences in the 70’s ) and Vote for what is best for the nation in the GE .
I like to think that I am fortunate enough to be capable of ensuring I do ok myself, many are not.
