No, 'I'm Gnasher and I'm a liar and internet hardman who calls everyone a cunt or a luvvie', you didn't. My post was that people don't genuinely understand the only outcome and the ramifications of not playing that game. This means there's a superficial understanding that there's two big parties, but the ramifications of their 'vote with my heart and they'll change' bullshit, especially in marginal areas, is actually damaging because they're badly mistaken. It's either the don't really get it or they don't care that they're enabling Tories, at which point they become Tories in my eyes. Same with those who don't vote in those areas. This is quite different to 'I genuinely don't think people know it's a two horse race' bullshit that is a result in your piss-poor reading comprehension.

You do realise people can see what's written above, right? Did you honestly think you could quote different words a couple of posts down and people couldn't figure it out? You're quite something, you absolute fruit shoot. Anyway, I think it's job done with you.

I wonder what it would look like if every adult in the country took this test.  I suspect the aggregate would be a blob covering the centre, spreading towards the bottom left.  Yet the governments we've had for most of the last 43 years would be firmly in the top right. 

 

Yay, democracy!

Wasn't there an experiment conducted in America whereby a newspaper only printed good news stories? It didn't take long for the sales to plummet. That's partly why the Tories are so successful. They don't preach hope or positivity, it's all about division and fear of the other. That vox pop video of Giles Brandreth showing Tory voters agreeing with Labour's manifesto pledges should be on every Politics and Sociology syllabus as an example of people voting against their own interests.

Netflix had an excellent documentary hosted by Noam Chomsky about those reasons why people vote against their own self interest. It's not surprising for most of us but it's a clear demonstration of how it works.

I don't know what any of this means genuinely, but I am now singing libetarian left to the tune of Liberian Girl.
