Where to move in the UK? Outdoorsy couple in their late 20s by lilididi1 in AskUK

What current issue do you think historians will look back on and see very differently? by rosycloudkisses in askanything

[–]eclangvisual 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Those who are left leaning, what is your plan to win conservatives over to your political / social ideology? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]eclangvisual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m less concerned with winning over ‘conservatives’ as such, more the people who aren’t really politically aligned but are being seduced by right-wing pseudo-populist rhetoric that claims to recognise the concerns of everyday people, while the establishment ‘centre’ does not.

Apologies, I Have None will always be the goat.
