[QUOTE="Goweresque, post: 7553013, member: 818"] The article contains a kernel of truth, but its written from the perspective that the Left is generally right and good, and the Right generally wrong and bad. And as such contains the very thing that is repelling the working classes. The working classes have not changed, the Left has changed. The views that were mainstream Labour party views as recently as the 1990s would now get you 'cancelled' as an evil racist sexist misogynist dinosaur. Thats why the working classes are turning to the Tories, the Left has moved so far left every Labour Prime Minister there has ever been would now be considered a fascist. And the idea that Tories in the UK are 'hard right' is laughable, it is another thing the Left have done to drive voters away, to demonise EVERYONE that disagrees with them, and make them into bad people. Boris is not by any objective assessment a racist, or a fascist dictator. Yet the left call him every name under the sun. And anyone who even thinks about voting for anyone other than the Left is treated likewise. Hint - if you abuse the voters they will not vote for you! I can't see any way out of this - the Left have decided that politics is just another facet of morality, that anyone who disagrees with you politically is a bad person with evil intent, and they and they alone have the morally correct view about everything. Once you have that mindset you can no longer have shades of grey, you have stark black and white, everyone must either for for you or against you. And how can you appeal to the undecided voter with such rhetoric? By definition the undecided voter can see good in either camp, so if you say 'Hey, if you even think about voting for X you're a [insert any -ism you like]' then they will think 'Well I thought about voting for X, so you're calling me a [-ist]. F*** you.' [/QUOTE]
