I'm also pretty sure social media also only show things that interest you and your ideals, as the software learns from your activities and what you like/follow.
Or youtube comments. *shudders*
It's exactly the same here - people get attacked for posting a certain view, others of the same view don't bother to. Echo chamber grows and grows and the remaining posters wank themselves silly. People then genuinely think that the country is on their side (
) despite never talking to anyone beyond the medium of keyboard.Haha do you need cream for that burn? Cheesy.
I feel sorry for Ireland most of all
Bloody Marxists.
Why would they need to move left when so many just voted for them anyway?
There is something funny though about moving left to appease a demographic which most likely voted for them based on Brexit... a vote entirely about getting johnny foreigner out. Not sure those people want a left-leaning party.
On the contrary, I think it’s more a case of those places already shifting considerably to the right than the Tories having to meet them in the middle. The seal of tribalism has been broken and the memory of Thatcherism has been replaced with Brexit.
Both are shifting the blame - the root problem is the flawed electoral system.
BBC's boring, I've switched.
Angela Raynor or Rebecca Long Bailey
The left is eating itself
Oh come off it, you insulted me and called me a tool for having the audacity to question the validity of your comments about pensions. Don't say cnuty things, yeah?
Very good
Absolutely. I was trying to explain more why a place like the Caf is so 'lefty'.
Of course. It's all the moderates' fault.
Dan Jarvis IMO. Ex-Para, that alone will go a huge way to regaining public support in England.
So it's wrong to point out the mess the tories are making? Not sure what point you're making.
Much as I loathe Johnson, is this a better outcome than a small Tory majority? Not quite the same need to pander to the ERG. We might also see an effective opposition.
For all the criticisms of Corbyn and Labour, The Lib Dem’s who took a remain position are also going to lose some of the tiny handful of seats they hold.
It’s a right wing country.
It’s a right wing country.
You live in a bubble then.
Got a link for that?
Why? They're going to be the one winners surely?
Ed Balls has become almost bearable since he lost his seat, he seems to be spending more time in the real world these days.
The ERG is expected to grow considerably tonight. It’s no longer just a handful of politicians, it’s a considerably faction.
Put money on him at one point, but has since chosen to become a mayor.
Not sure he wants the gig.
No, absolutely not. It means they can easily vote through some terrible, horrible things that are going to make the last 10 years look like a warm up exercise.
I warned you at least Dominic Cummings loves you tonight.How cute
It’s funny watching him interrupt Osbourne and Osbourne die a little inside that someone would have the temerity to interrupt him.
Deluded
Exactly .Amazing all these centrists who have had to bite their tongue for so long ,smell blood now and are already lining up their Blair 2.0
Can't do much but laugh.
I think so. We'll finally get to find out if Brexit is a good idea or not. They have no excuses now and will own the outcome. At least Britain is driving straight off the cliff rather than stumbling along the edge.
They just don't get it.
The UK is a right-wing leaning country. The older voters are living longer, tilt heavily conservative, and vote for what's in their interests tomorrow. Not for ten years from now.
This is the problem I also have with left-wing activism through Twitter.
Twitter is not reflective of real life. If any social media is it is Facebook which is more older, tilt conservative and more powerful.
