And it is ironic to me how people claim that left veering voters are more "self interested" that right voters. Not even because of the principles of the whole basis of left wing politics being more "for the people". But simply because labour's policies are naturally targeted towards the majority. So any vote that benefits the majority of people who need those benefits, can hardly be claimed as self interested. For example I'm not disabled but the conservative disability cuts are truly abhorent, so I wish to be able to change this for the people it effects.
Sigh while I try my best to respect that people have different outlooks on life and different experiences which shape their opinions, it is disheartening to see the sheer number of people turning this into either a popularity contest or even worse spouting mainstream media headlines and using this as ironclad backing for their I'll informed or misguided opinions.
Please remember that no party in decades has won an election without mainstream media backing, and ask yourself who is in charge here and what their motivation is.
Please, please be more discerning than this.
