"Vote against their own interests" almost always means "vote contrary to my preferences, the imbeciles".
- swores 3y agoNonsense. It means people voting for policies that they think will be positive for their lives but actually are negative for them. Which is a very common occurrence, regardless of your apparently disliking people pointing it out.
- krisoft 3y agoMaybe, but not in this case. In this case the person in question was promised something ("more favourable terms for south Asian immigrants"). He voted accordingly. His side of the vote won. And he got the exact opposite as a result.
