CavySlaveJambo Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 So really most of the news today will be #dogsatpollingstations or at least it should be. But the most of it will be registered voters being denied their votes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanks said no Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Voted with my wife and son - why? - it gave me an opportunity to visit my primary school 42 years later and regale them with the same tales of childhood that I do every single time - a pig escaped from the piggery next door and ran about that part of the playground - tick - I did my cycling proficiency test there - tick - I split my head open there - tick - this was the gym hall, feels much smaller now - tick etc etc etc then took a detour down my old street and entertained them again. They want a postal vote next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i8hibsh Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Voting now is becoming more about making a political statement than something one just does. No shock, but the Brexit Party got my 'X'. Never in a month of Sundays would I have voted in a European election before but this was me saying 'I made my choice 3 years ago, we won, now **** off and honour it'.

Victorian Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Voting for the Brexit Party falls a long way short of being a "political statement". Why? Because they don't have any policies. It is a choice to be unrepresented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Boris, everything is a political statement nowadays. Back in the day it was left centre and right. Now there are more angles than a compass. It is ALL about identity politics, what label we are given now identifies us. Yet the MSM and folk like aussieh continue to pedal the 'right wing' nonsense when classifying leavers. When in reality it is about 50/50. So many good hardened lefties voted Brexit, Trump etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can label me what you wish, but it will not dictate how I cast my vote. Surely it isn't about what label we are given, rather what identity we wish to take for ourselves? The likes of Trump, Farage etc are not interested in their base, they are only interested in power. By exploiting the void in current politics, and playing on basic tropes, fomenting discontent, deflecting the real reasons for assumed white working class disengagement, they are able to be successful. Don't expect any form of dividend from them though. They don't care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know i8, that statement has probably went through extensive testing with focus groups and other opinion polls along with a few others and that one was likely the most successful with potential voters. Slogans aren't just decided by people in a party, they are treated the same as other advertising. So, the statement might be slightly inaccurate, it might piss you off, but that's been balanced against its likely success with a larger group of people.
