It's not baffling why people vote Tory, a lot of it has to do with their homes, the UK desperately needs council houses and affordable housing, it's a huge part of what's gone wrong with a once Great Britain and a huge reason so many successive governments haven't addressed the issue (the Tories deliberately haven't because as existing home owners see their house values rise it strengthens their position) is that for a hell of a lot of people who own their homes don't want the much needed council and affordable homes built, because it will affect the values of their properties.
One of THE most common planning application objections against affordable housing projects (never mind council houses) for several years has been that it will adversely affect the value of existing homes, it's funny that so many people throw that objection in because it's not a valid one anyway, but it shows exactly how people think and it's all the product of the baby boomers selling us down the river and continually voting in a Tory government who sold thousands of council homes for votes without replacing them and then removed housing prices from the inflation register.
The Tory Reganomics have over a long period of time created a UK of utterly selfish twats who like the majority of Mp's have no interest in voting for what's best for the country but are only interested in their own interests and ironically pretty much everything that's wrong with the UK and all the other problems they moan about can be traced back to the great Tory housing scam
