You are right on that.
I agree fully as to certain elements of it and at elections.
However, the world of our there campaigning as I've been doing these last weeks and will be exhausted doing these next 3 days
Is a world away from the media, TV, press portrayal of politics and electioneering.
Talking directly to people, is brilliant, yes sometimes you get insults for which Party you are campaigning for.
Although this time, I've had hardly any at all.
People are more favourable to Labour and the only message I'm getting is that voters more than usual, just want this government gone.
The threats of the Cons saying vote Reform get Starmer.
The former Con voters switching to Reform don't care about that, they no trust now in Sunak's Cons.
So aren't listening to him.
Plus too, just about everyone surely knows when Parties say we've no plans or no need to do something.
That means IF, and I stress IF, their plans don't work, they may have to.
The public are fed up of the media presenters asking that stupid question over and over.
Talking directly to people you get an entirely different and reasoned exchange of views, which is as it should be
Plus too the opinion polls, which are the candidates pushed onto us who we cannot even vote for, the pollsters.
I've yet to find ONE person who has been interviewed by any polling organisation.
I was at UNI but never since.
If these polls this time are really proved to be wrong, then I think they should be banned as it's more misleading than anything else.
Like yourself Mock, in another thread, you don't vote you said, thats along with a third, yes aTHIRD of people eligible yo vote.
If that doesn't say what's wrong with the Parties and politics generally, I don't know what else will.
That yourself and 10 million plus like you feel there's no one and nothing to vote for
That's shocking anyone feels like that due to the failure of those in politics who have failed so many
The media however has been absolutely awful presenting this election particularly.
It really has.
I'm glad I've been out talking to and with people.
