You realise all of those adverbs are subjective in themselves as they a led by the terms "feature aspects of" and "tends". There is no definition that specifies in exact terms because each political sphere is different. Even your final definition has a prediction embedded which is impossible to prove.

Far rightwing is a subjective view. What is far right in most west countries is nothing on the scale of some 3rd world nations.

Individuals covered it up. They should serve a lot of time for what they did to a lot of people's lives. Many innocent people were accused convicted and livelihoods destroyed. Labour really need to look at this once in power. It is a massive disgrace.

No, I am talking about the government collecting data with the intention of using it to campaign for office.

[–] Syldon 0 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Labour didn't do anything about back then because it was not an issue.

Data farming is a fairly recent abuse. The Tories have just pushed two laws: one was the right to view any bank accounts that are receiving benefits and the other is the right to send spam mail out while campaigning. The first is an abuse towards those without money, as well as a data farming action. The second is what the Cambridge Analytica scandal was about.

This is very much a Tory driven initiative. Labour probably won't address the issue because it is not visibly destructive. Everything will be about appearance when they come to power. Anything that the Tory media can get hold of to stain the Labour government will be pushed front and centre. Much like the beergate campaign was.

Then Trump's lawyer should stop trying to stall the court dates. All could be sorted if they just went to court and made their case. Instead they keep using stupid stalling tactics in an attempt to push the verdict beyond the election time. All so Trump can pardon himself and avoid the issue of having to face up to his actions.

The government is on the take. It is open season on anyone not donating to the Tories.

what a stupid attitude to have. Boomers did not get anything more than they deserved. You should be asking for the same. It should not be a race to the bottom. The rich are getting richer at your expense: work out who you should be bitching at.

ok. Seems you answered that one for him.

It would probably be better if you said the game that you wanted to do this with.

and

Private is subjective. Do you mean as solo play or with friends. Most games have options to cover both instances.

I think we have all seen that there is no guarantees with politics these days. So no, that is not an option if I want to remove the Tories. Give me PR voting then I will vote for what I want, rather than what I don't want, which is the case currently.

 

The last paragraph just about sums it all up.

The choice is Labour’s, to go on trying to secure narrow, shallow and occasional FPTP victories on policies only acceptable to those who want nothing to change, especially on climate, or mobilise and build the progressive majority that exists in our country. Infrequent, weak single party government or strong progressive alliances most of the time? The flick of a switch in terms of how we count votes is a game changer for progressives and the planet.

I don't want a system that relies on the least worst option. This system is low hanging fruit for abusive regimes with a war chest to spend on campaigns.

He is not impressed: I am.

LFF also claimed the cost of this scheme has hit £290m so far. This is near £3m per head of any potential victim removed from the UK. It does not include the cost of the liabilities built into the scheme for anyone coming from Rwanda back into the UK in the swap scheme.

An immense waste of tax payer's money, and a wholly barbaric policy, on what is nothing more than political games to con the public.

 

The government is using public money to finance its own media platform.

 

Link to the poll mentioned.

A good break down of the other polls done by Yougov on this subject by youtuber Phil Moorhouse.

My personal opinion is that Labour do not want to talk about Brexit until they can stop the Tory media telling lies on the subject. We will only get one shot at reversing this fiasco, so they want to get it right. With Labour I agree on this. Let it lie until we can have some actual facts on the matter. Any discussions with current media throwing in their bias is swayed by those who have pocketed billions from the Misery imposed over Brexit.
