1. Everyone's a socialist, so using it as a pejorative doesn't really work.
2. There aren't enough "welfare claimants" in this country to really have a big influence on anything themselves. The vast (vast) majority of people claiming benefits are hard working people who do 40 hour weeks but still don't earn enough to support their family, so they claim Working Tax Credits. This was Thatcher's doing, by the way.
I should have remembered how Reddit this place has become.
No idea what you mean by 1. I, along with about 50% of the UK is not a socialist.
