Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
Young people are normally concerned about equality and justice, then they grow up, get married buy houses, cars, stuff and become haves. At that point they look to those who want to protect their lifestyles even if they are also concerned about equality and justice.

Not necessarily true - if that were true, how did Labour get in for three terms.
It’s a balancing act - doesn’t need to be one or the other.

Exactly a political party needs to think about all demographics and not just those where who they can bribe easily to vote for them.

We're not allowed to expire until the middle aged ones finally convert to our way of thinking!

Being your true self can only come from separating your thinking from the crowd mentality.

The Crowd.
No one knows how large it is,
Nor what opposition it is,
Until one steps out if it.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
The Conservatives can expect to lose 800 or more seats at the local elections this week according to a Tory peer.
https://www.theguardian.com/politics...s-says-analyst
Quote:
|
In his latest projection for Thursday’s polls, in which more than 8,000 council seats in England are being contested, the Tory peer Robert Hayward suggested his party could lose about 500 to the Liberal Democrats, and 300 to Labour.
|
Quote:
|
He blamed his party’s failure to assemble a majority for the prime minister’s withdrawal agreement for his gloomy forecast, and predicted turnout would be unusually low because of “disenchantment” with all the major parties.

Indeed there are no excuses for not voting as we have already done ours by postal vote.
