Roughly a third of the electorate don't vote. I'd say there's room for improvement there, even if it means a different group no longer feel represented enough to participate.
Boris Johnson doesn't exactly have the best track record for giving honest opinions so I wouldn't find him using the same terminology reassuring myself.
I didn't know Boris said that, it was my own opinion of him. I never thought he wanted to be PM anyway. He is and was happier being a thorn in somebody's side with no actual risk of having to follow though on what he says. And no PM should ever be openly targeting any groups of citizens.
It wasn't exactly a level playing field. The reporting was so weirdly unbalanced it was a joke - even the fecking Guardian were out for his blood. It was a very, very obvious smear campaign by the media to delegitimize him by making him seem soft and flowery (makes his own jam, has an allotment. The horror!) and by making spurious connections to terrorism. It's literally the same crap you see posted in here about him and people still gobble it up. However slow Labour might be to cop on, the electorate are just as dense.
Why would he go after them with a condiment?
It's the only way from them to ketchup!
It's not as simple as that though is it.
If only it wasn't for those pesky voters eh!
Pinning your hopes on people who don't vote, doesn't strike me as a good bet.
The Tory party were ahead in the polls for long periods of 2020. Starmer took over in April 20 I believe.
I'm talking about the polls since Sunak took over. It's the only way to compare public opinion on Sunak v Starmer.
Yeah it was a typo. Meant to say Sunak.
Obviously it'd be great if everybody had a critical eye and were alert to hyper biased and bait media campaigns, but we don't have an educational system that supports that. As such, the 'pesky voters' fall prey to agenda driven politics and the end result is we have a country that is utterly fecked and politicians that primarily succeed by appealing using gutter level policy and campaigning.

This needs to happen, but only under a PR system. If the party splits under the current system then both new and old parties are looking at a wipeout due to FPTP.

This is the thing about Corbyn, of course the media was biased against him during his time as Leader but he never really helped himself at all in the majority of the situations.
From Piers right?
His physical demeanour is also very telling. Starts to out-shout Piers (never a good idea) before resigning back into his chair and going for a defensive arms crossed posture, before deflecting back to the other topic of ceasefires.
Are you the same person who won't vote for labour because the current leader said Israel should follow international law and misspoke when saying 'they have that right' then clarified his position over the next few days.
So what do you think he was going to say when he started saying "I do not condone support or approve of..." before he was cut off by Piers?
Morgan invites Beavis and Butthead onto his show …..and they accept
Targeting of civilians, like I said, the failure to fully condemn says he generally supports their aim and gives insight into his antisemitism.
Starmer didn’t misspeak, he finished answering his original question, then the interviewer asked if a siege was appropriate, cutting off power and cutting off water. Starmer repeats I think… Israel does have that right it is an ongoing situation.
He's certainly got an honesty that's not normal for a politician.
