Should the public be allowed to make sweeping statements regarding political parties
 

I'm not sure how to word this but imagine being one egg of all the eggs in a basket..do you think it's healthy for the UK that the country is so politically divided on social media especially?


:shrug:

Yes, people should be allowed freedom of speech...

Is social media the place for that though?

People should be allowed opinions, yes.

it's up to people to validate what they are reading and not blindly believe everything. This is a fundamental skill that everyone has always required

Yes.

People are being allowed to make sweeping statements.

The medium doesn't matter, People can share their views however they please and no social media platform that's run by a private or public company of note ever bans someone based solely on their view of political parties.

If you think Labour are full of anti-semites then that's your view, if I think the voting public are gullible and don't know what they are truly voting for then that's my opinion. There's no reason to censor either view but you can certainly try to argue against it if you disagree.

But it's the sway social media has on the millions unable to realise that skill, that is the problem.

That could be said for anything, including newspapers and television.

The public don't get an opinion on those, so even though they may be swayed by those media platforms..Online is the only way to air those opinions that the telly and papers have swayed them into.


So that should mean no...the public shouldn't be allowed to make sweeping statements about politics because they have been mis led by certain media and tv outlets already

So, the journalists and TV personalities get opinions but the public don't. :shrug:

You will get gullible people who believe whatever they read/hear social media or no social media.

"The public" is a sweeping statement of its own. Not everyone has the same opinion and not all of them are easily misled.

Ive edited the post.can you edit yours after reading it again

I've made another post. :hee:

But the info that those uneasily led people have gathered, that made them come to thier leanings on subjects must have come from somewhere...IE tv, papers, social media.

Don't you think other forms of media have any sway?.. should evrything be monitored, d you want state controlled media?

If it means the public don't sit arguing on social media platforms, then yes. I do.

Perhaps we should never have put cameras in the house of commons for a start. :shrug:

Right?

Do people need to get knowledge from a crystal ball or something?

The public have argued long before social media platforms. People discuss, debate, argue their opinions, thoughts and feelings and always will do.

It isn't the public you should worry about, its the supposed 'impartial' press (that goes for left and right leaning outlets)

Personally I have no issue with someone taking an issue with a political party, it's up to that political party to break that particular individual's opinion of them imo.

The lies & hate printed about Corbyn seemed ok at the time though didn't it ???? . Bit late to question these things now :idc: .

Corbyn went from Hero to zero so quickly, the poor guy wasn't given a chance . Members of the public etc ,on the news were talking about him like he was a demon.

The contradictions & hypocrisy as bojo got his ass covered & stuff brushed under the carpet :bored: .

He had the platform of being on tv to defend himself in his own words.

And answer all accusations laid at his feet, the truth was, he was a shifty looking guy who sealed his own fate by defending terrorist and trying to keep us in Europe when the public voted to leave.

Plus he still never had the dencency to admit defeat and leave like a man instead choosing to hold on like a child to a swing when it’s time to leave the park.

yes people should be allowed opinions
