Johnson is popular for the same reason Farage is. His idiotic bluster, the fact he just says what he thinks and it's often inappropriate means he's "a man of the people". Nevermind his millions and the fact he couldn't give a shit about us oiks, he says the kind of bigoted nonsense that, unfortunately, large parts of the population think but daren't say.
Like the previous president of the lawless apocalyptic third-world hellscape across the pond, they sound intelligent to thick people, and there are a lot of thick people.
This is such a lazy, and nonsense point of view.
Nonsense. There were plenty of options, people chose this shit show. Your excuse is just a way for them to shirk any responsibility for the shit we're being served up.
And let's not forget, if you listen to oldie-wonks describe how much better life was when everyone looked after each other and nobody robbed or killed and cats never chased mice etc, they are describing a largely socialist society (ignoring the fact it was never as halcyon as they say). But give them the option to vote socialist and they run a mile because it's been poisoned as a word by politicians and the media.
Yeah but that doesn't mean there wasn't an alternative. If everyone who used the excuse that there wasn't one had voted Labour, they'd have won.
Most of the British public would if the cake promised them that there's be no more biscuits taking their cake crumbs.
But would they? the 2.6M lost votes, voted for Labour in 2016 and they still lost
We'll never know, but it's a nonsense excuse. A bit like people not voting for the Lib Dems because "they'll never win".
Well it’s not a ridiculous argument is it. History is the judge of these things. When was the last Liberal/Democrat election victory?
But if everybody who didn't vote because they thought they wouldn't win actually voted for them, they'd have a better chance and it would reduce votes for the others. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
