What's Happening in UK? Elections!

[Shalcker]

Really? How did I miss that... that's funny. How is MMO-C not permabanning his ass just out of principle.

Never did. I'm just a guy with way too much free time. I even post from static IP.

Some people suspect conspiracies everywhere around them.

You might be thinking, "What is the point of all that? It seems completely ridiculous." This might be true for small scale stuff. But, if you're a corporation or government with billions to throw at something then this is practically nothing. It's relatively cheap and tame with high payoffs. This level of manipulation does work. People can be researching a product or political idea and will trust some random stranger on a small forum a lot more than some media personality, politician, or celebrity. After all, why would someone go through the effort of posting about it on some random forum if it wasn't true? Sure, Twitter is full of bullshit, but not CuteTeddyBearShoes.com/forum.

People believe random stranger when he confirms their preconceived notions - and often take their arguments uncritically.

Anyone who ever read more then one thread here knows that this is more of constant stream of contrarian takes on anything bouncing off each other. If you stay long enough then you'll find someone defending or attacking pretty much any position; people actually changing their position are exceedingly rare.

Posting here is primarily a way to strengthen your own viewpoint against common counter-arguments.

A way to imagine this would be some kind of product you need. Maybe it's for your car or house. Whatever. It's not something you know a lot about and isn't mainstream. So you google it. Along the way you find people discussing it on a forum and you see some guy posted that he bought it and it's working just fine. They might even post pictures/videos of it (provided by the client). So now you feel confident about buying it. This happens a lot. Same goes for political ideas.

Thousands, millions, sometimes billions of people hold same ideology and react similarly to various events.

Ability to rise above noise through "random posting", to actually guide it rather then add to it, remains unproven. It certainly doesn't seem to work in their own country for Russia.

Modern "media personalities" - both traditional and new like youtubers and streamers - those can have quite measurable impact.

Starmer is truly a gem.

I'm curious what you think this poll demonstrates.

I'm curious why our favorite far right burner account has suddenly forgotten who Starmer is.

The only people Labour seem to represent now, if anyone at all, are woke students and the permanently unemployed. Surprising they poll as high as they do. From that same poll and even more worrying for Labour:-

Working-class voting intention:
Con: 56%
Lab: 20%

For British Conservative voters things have never been better with our Brexit, he got it done, Boris secure for a generation to come. Wonderful times indeed and reward given by the electorate exactly where it's due.

Lmao, you far right conservatives are even better at fucking over working people.


But keep on dreaming.

The only one dreaming of representing working people is the Knight of the Realm that leads Labour.

Masterstroke of Boris to abolish the fixed term parliament act and insist on photo id to vote I reckon. With photo verified Tory support heading towards in excess of 50%, Labour in disarray and Boris living the dream, bring on that early election next year it's a shoo-in!

You seem awfully happy about your working class and healthcare getting fucked over. But somebody has to be happy about rich people manipulating you into voting for them to gain power.

Get educated on UK politics to be honest.

The UK Conservatives are nowhere near close to being far right.

And they've put more money into the Socialist NHS than any other party or period of time in the whole of the UK's history.

Consumable goods in the UK are falling in price faster than inflation post Brexit.

You are literally clueless.

PS - People like you are the reason the Left have been destroyed in the UK. Calling the UK Conservatives far right is an obvious lie. And if the left lie about that (and it is a big lie to say so), you lose trust for everything else. Even Tony Bliar made comment about the left wing UK being too woke.

Go woke, go broke.

Fucking truth.

The last conservative that thought it was a shoo-in was Theresa May, not four years ago. 21 point favorites at the time people were prognosticating election gains!

And she lost seats.

The political landscape is very different now compared to then and May's campaign was one of the worst I've ever seen - the Tories will not repeat that mistake. Unless something drastic happens between now and the next election I don't see Labour having a hope.

The biggest danger for our side is we don't pay Boris enough for the quality governance he brings to the table. He should at least be paid the same rate as the Man Utd manager considering all he does is supervise a few overpaid oafs kicking an inflated leather ball around a field for his millions.

Thank heavens Boris appears so altruistic and such a generous man he is prepared to put running the UK above greedy personal gain.

He is turning out to be one of the greats, long many he stay and with the latest polling it looks as though he just might

Too true. It's a travesty that our PM cannot afford wallpaper!

There are 128k people who might disagree with your assessment of Boris. But they can't, because they died as a result of his criminal incompetence at the start of the Covid pandemic. In the meantime he was focusing on what he does best; putting cash in his own pocket by various means. That and sticking his penis in anything warm is pretty much all that keeps him occupied.

Covid and Brexit will come back to haunt him. But he'll be long gone by then, probably to "work" for one of the companies he's pushed billions of tax-payers money towards over the last year or so.

Don’t even know why you entertain the dribble that comes out of the guy’s mouth.
