Current Affairs The General Election

Or to put it another way most of the country is occupied by morons.

Way to go at getting them back on your side.

My theory is that Mr & Mrs Average of Middletown preferred a cuddly looking blond chap with a posh accent to a plain grey looking one with a beard.

Image goes a long way in the mind of for the floating voter and always has done.

It wasn't the 'floating voter' though, was it. It was traditional labour voters.

Strong and stable
Get Brexit done

The Tories have absolutely nailed the electorate in this country. Keep it simple. Very simple.

What do we expect? People have lives, so how can they be expected to know the ins and outs of politics? Even those of us here who think we're informed are probably not at all.

 

[Dharma]

I don’t think he has just yet. I think Get Brexit Done spoke to people without knowing it. He has spoken about the need to move the party towards those that have voted for them. I think he gets that the nasty party needs to go. I couldn’t have seen Corbyn having done the same for example.

What did it say to you mate? Genuinely interested.

Was it mate? Define a "traditional Labour voter" from your tory point of view.

If you type in " traditional " labour voter, the definition has been amended and simply says @Joey66

Id guess the majority outside of knowing the PM pay no more than a passing interest in politics

Labour weren’t socialist enough for him

Labour weren’t national socialist enough for him

And that's not in any way derogatory to them. It's quite rational not to devote much time to it given your vote is one of 20-30 million, so on its own has a limited impact on the outcome.

Not really. They used data analytics and misold Brexit to the masses. This was the biggest con in British history that has been brushed under the carpet, this was subsequently used to power the GE for the tories. Anyone with an ounce of sense can see and search for the evidence.

No not at all being derogatory,its a simple fact that with the exception of a GE once in a while the day to day politics dont concern most people,obviously certain points catch attention,if you work in advice centres ans such then theres a need to keep up with policy and legislation,but most of the time its background noise

 

[jaycee]

This is the kind of stuff that scares me about Brexit and casual racism by politicians

No mate, people aren’t influenced by the media at all. It must be true, a mod said it.
