Would this pitch work in the UK also?

[Candidate987]

Just reading about a recent Republican candidates' debate. Vivek Ramaswamy - a seemingly pushy biotech entrepreneur wrapped up his contribution with the following statement:

“God is real. There are two genders. Fossil fuels are a requirement for human prosperity. Reverse racism is racism. An open border is not a border. Parents determine the education of their children. The nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to man. Capitalism lifts us up from poverty.”

Would a candidate in the UK making the same pitch be a refreshing relief to our increasingly beige candidates or just attempting to take us back 50 years?

@Candidate987 - you type like ChatGPT

That 'pitch' is bullshit

Well he's a dickhead, but enough idiotic dim-witted people fall for that sort of bible-bashing God-bothering nonsense over there, so I guess a few stupid people would here, too.

I very much doubt that he's being open and honest, I just think that he might encourage the other candidates to be more specific and less generic in their offerings.

ChatGPT being told to type like Oppenheimer, or ChatGPT being told to type in the style of Barbie?

I wonder if the Russians have anything on him, or if he just supports Putin because he likes dictatorship in general?

Are you doing market research for a potential political candidate OP? Trying to figure out whether a six week abortion limit and voting age of 25 would get more votes than they'd lose?

Nothing refreshing here whatsoever

God is real to million of people, of many faiths In this country. But I agree that it wouldn't go down well as a political statement. And we have had several religious prime Ministers, and the Queen,was as well.

I have no personal axe to grind - if there's market research being done, I can't see that the parties are paying attention.
Voting age is interesting, many feel that switching the age to 16 would make people feel a full part of society sooner, though in the unlikely event that I find myself in the dock, I'm not sure I'd want to rely on 16 year-old jurors to acquit.
I feel that a six-week limit is cruel in the absence of free, instant access to support and medical help - I've not seen it quoted before, but I would love to know what would best serve women's interests - whether a women-only or mixed vote would be less judgemental.
