Keir Starmer

I'm no expert when it comes to politics. I'm always of the opinion that all politicians are just a bunch of self serving luvvies. But when it came to labour this year it was a case of if I didn't take the knee I was a racist. They jumped on the woke nonsense band wagon and the cancel culture shit.
I think theres an element of that for sure. It will be interesting to see how Sturgeon does as compared to Starmer as she is quite woke and she is speaking against the Torys and Johnson everyday, but she is patriotic to the extreme.
 
I don't know what Labour can do, the majority of the time their political stance is far more in line with protecting your average person/everybody but they have to take so many stances in a fast changing world that eventually they'll be behind a stance that somebody doesn't agree with.

People are genuinely having a go at them for taking a knee against racism but will happily go and support their football teams with players making the same stance.

The Tory party on the other hand are anti-change (although they claim they're for change) unless it benefits them, they would like all the issues we have to stay the same because it benefits them. They get far more leeway in the media for it too, which masks their errors far more easily. 'Oh you've been robbing us for hundreds of millions, doesn't matter because we expect that from you and you didn't take the knee'.

Baffles me that anyone could put an X in the Tory box after what they've done this year.



Edit: I'm just using the knee as an example because someone mentioned it 3 or 4 posts ago as being a stick to beat them with. There are many other examples where this is used.

Well its just a term the press used during Blairs time. To reflect london based wealthy labour voters, celebrities and MPs that are seen as out of touch with everyday working class people.
Who is in touch with everyday working class people really?

No one.

I will never be convinced the tories are.
 
Well wasn't expecting that after all the sophisticated political analysis in here and allowed to pervade most threads.
Bluemoon not a barometer? Impossible.
It was fully expected tbh.
You rarely see the Conservative voters on the political threads these days because they have no need to defend the indefensible anymore safe in the knowledge they will remain in power.
Sad state of affairs but says a lot about the mindset of much of the country.
