MODERATORS
"Abaaaht time I'm sick of hearing about this woke-vironment rubbish!"
That's what Rishi Sunak thinks of the electorate.
I think the electorate know what to expect every time they vote his party into power.
You'd think so, but I saw some poverty article in which some guy was being interviewed.
He was disabled, his 12 year old daughter was collecting from the food bank every day so they could eat, they had no heating, and kept having to fight for his benefits to not be cut.
Who do you reckon he was voting for next time? They've got the best plan for the economy, don't you know? Plus Corbyn wore the wrong tie for the queen or something.
That’s a good point. I don’t know if I can blame them - there are powerful forces in the battles for hearts and minds. The Murdoch press is one example.
Disclaimer: I’m not from Britain though.
However the thing about the battle for hearts and minds is it's much easier to win if the people you're trying to win over are not used to using them minds.
At some point being politically ignorant is not an excuse.
