@brownin probably because personality and values are relatively consistent across your life

But party policies change like the wind

imo the liberal notion that people can be convinced into believing right ideas is largely flawed

what people believe is more influenced by their genetic predisposition, upbringing, and so on

you can show the horse water but you cant make it drink

partially informed by new information of course

I suppose it’s like we’re all told we are right wing but if I look at all my views I’m rather left wing

But I don’t give a fuck about most policies and the ones I do are right wing

Ergo I’m right wing

personally I see myself as centre right in terms of Norwegian politics in the past that had made me a leftist in the US but they have shifted so far that even there I'm right wing now

I’ve always voted tories here but mainly because of firstly help to buy scheme for housing and then since to try and get brexit done

Also my area didn’t have any other parties worth a vote until recently

i try to always vote for minor parties

Here I’ve always had like 5 parties and tories is the only one I could possibly vote for

i don't feel represented by either boomer cuckservatives or the party of commies, radfems, lesbians and so on

Oh once brexit is done then I will look elsewhere but until then I kinda have to bite the bullet

I did change my voting party last election, as the one I did use to vote for did change it politics and but a other party did shit more into what I was for

People seem to treat parties like their favourite football team

As if they will stick by them no matter what, which is dumb

ehh

parties are like banks and insurance, always shop around

This is how it should be

But you speak to boomers they voted for the same party for 30+ years

i don't see that as surprising really

they belive in the old party, the one that "build" the nation bullshit

Once boomers are gone then we may have a new party to call the top dog

Until then it will only ever be a or b

nah

anglo countries seem to love duopolies

other countries have weird coalitions with like 5, 6 major parties

think it the nature of politics in general, over time it will shift into two big parties before something happens that brakes up one of them

Well here’s to hoping Corbyn achieves that 🍻

by the looks of it he better buy a barrel of lube as this election is going to get rough as atm "everyone" is actually paying attention to UK politics

Well we all just want brexit done

Even remainers I speak to have had enough

yea, it was a done deal from the start. a election to stay or leave, leave did win, not the we need a "Norwegian" deal kind of bullshit

The only issue now is when tories win the election how soft will the brexit be that they agree 😒

yea <:pepe_sad:560202541904953365>

still Spain is doing it part to crush the EU economy

EU needs to burn
