Agree with all this - the vast majority are neither far-right or far-left - and the vast majority reject both extremes
That is not really understood - or certainly not reflected - on here I think where most threads are dominated by the vocal 'harder left'
It was probably largely an echo chamber on here before the 2019 election - leaving so many surprised that the reality is that what 'seems' the dominant views on here only really reflect minority views
I agree that a Blair would piss the next election - because, although we cannot be arsed challenging the obsessiveness of the harder-left on here - most of us are actually centrist in our views - just like the vast majority across the UK
There’s probably not more than half a dozen far left posters on here that regularly contribute to the political threads. The fact that you think there’s loads suggests to me that you’re further to the right than you think you are. As your former persona you were strongly advocating a vote for Johnson in 2019 so you could get your precious Brexit delivered and you didn’t care what damage that would do. Now we’ve had nearly 3 years of the fat fraud in charge it’s a bit hypocritical of you to be anti-Johnson without acknowledging your stance and your vote in 2019.Good post
I think that this government has only had the opportunity to take us so far to the right because of the utter rejection of the how far left Corbyn was viewed to be. They have done it by 'stealth and deceit' - little of the intent was set out in their manifesto
Out of the blue the rejection of Corbyn and support for Brexit handed them a massive majority and left them able to purge their party of more moderate views
Starmer needs to step up and offer a clearly centrist manifesto and shake off the shackles of the remaining hard-left in his party
I loved the ' it was probably an echo chamber on here' line as though he wasn't really here informing everyone that if Labour won he'd evict all his tenants and move to Cyprus!Brextremist in lacking self-awareness, shocker.
You are much more to the right than you believe you are whilst simultaneously accusing others of being on the hard-left.
Is that Johnson you’re talking about?
Put it this way, if he ever genuinely looks like getting kicked out, I'd put money on him sending troops into Ukraine to distract attention. That's how much of a self serving **** I think he is, I think he'd rather start ww3 than personally suffer consequencesHe is just a shit liar.
Other than himself and his own skin, I don’t think he stands for anything and will go with whatever suits him at the time.
Not looking particularly good for the government.
