All of the considerable evidence of your posting history points to it being precisely that, for you, blind faith. You rarely (if ever) engage in any substantive criticism of the Tories, it’s all “but Labour…”, which is intellectually weak, as I’ve said. You strike me as a Tory voter by tradition and I doubt anything or anyone will ever convince you otherwise. Hey ho. Fortunately, the Tories are going to get absolutely smashed at the next GE.
My point is that the Tories historically have a history of sorting out financial messes and Labour have one of creating them. That is a pragmatic view as to why I would prefer a Conservative mindset to a Socialist one. It's unlikely I will get that, largely down to the Tories incompetence levels, but we live in hope that they will find another statesman to make policy rather than relying on highly questionable advice. Right now, that is also unlikely.
But do not confuse arguing a certain standpoint with blind political belief. We have neither Labour nor Tory parties right now, merely two pinkish-bluish middle ground cowards, which makes your "Mal is a fierce Tory" dismissal a bit of a nonsense. I am, but this current shower is not a Tory party.
As for voting at the next GE, I probably won't bother. There seems little point.

And Labour will win by Tory voters not turning out or getting pissed off with voter id.

Blaming civil service "groupthink" on failed gov't policy is a space largely occupied by Telegraph loyalists and fringe thickos who cannot bring themselves to accept that the Tories are, ultimately, not very conservative anymore.
