Off Topic Politics Thread

I have to agree with Batman.

For help deciding on who to vote for.

 

Thanks, that is very useful. Needs to be shared far and wide!

 

Indeed, nice one, VM.

 

This is excellent. And the good news is that it tells me to vote for the party I was planning to vote for!

 

Huge moment: Twitter has banned political advertising on the platform. For those who have followed the Cambridge Analytica saga, we now await what Facebook will do. It could be a game changer.

 

Brilliant. I hope I’m wrong, but I doubt that Mr Zuckerburg will pass up a chance to make a few more millions.

 

The Cambridge Analytica thing was bad because it involved pulling user data in violation of Facebook’s stated policies.

I don’t care about political advertising, or even “fake news” posts and tweets from bots. It’s up to the users not to be stupid and believe everything they read.

 

I think we can be fairly confident what Facebook will do. Or rather, not do. But I wait to be corrected.

 

I do care about political advertising, particularly online where even the most basic standards of honesty and respect appear to have been completely abandoned, because I don’t want the level of political discourse in the U.K. to descend to the level it has reached in the U.S.

Maybe it’s already too late. The sort of bilious nonsense being peddled by people with right wing leanings often seems to have originated on Facebook.

 

FAKE NEWS

Boris Johnson is alive and well and no where near a ditch. In fact turns out his comments were misheard.

Actually said they if he couldn't get brexit done by 31 October, he would rather be found in bed with a witch. Plenty to choose from.

 

I had a fleeting moment when I didn't dislike the Lib Dems. It's gone and I'm well now. They simply see this election as a chance to get more fence sitters in Parliament and **** Brexit.

In Chester they have always been a poor third. Despite a big Labour majority last time, it still needs to be seen as a Tory/Labour marginal.Putting up a Lib Dem in a remaain City is a crap idea

 

Our delay day party later, there will be beer.
Looking for a guide for ditches to die in, plenty over here in the Netherlands.

 

Utterly stuffed in Dorset West as Labour can never win but are too close to LD to ever consider withdrawing. We may actually get a majority vote for Lab LD Green combined but none of them will get near Cons individually

On the other hand a flash of hope has just occurred. We have had a UKIP presence here, so if Brexit stand it will really put cat among Pigeons. Come on Brexit

I’ll be voting LD

 

As I've said before the Looney party is beginning to look very attractive.................

 

Brexit party are humming and hawing as to whether they will only put up candidates in strong Labour Leave seats. I think that could easily backfire. Imagine the Leave vote being 60%. Not all Leavers will desert Labour so probably 50% of the vote between Leave parties. If it splits evenly between Tory and Brexit then it would be mathematically impossible ( virtually) for either to take the seat.

 

We already have one.......it's called the Conservative Party.

 

Yea though they are full of liars...where as the looney party actually acknowledges they are looney!!..........
