Let's face facts tho with the way current systems work, it's always gonna be a two party race - the other parties just don't stand a snowball's chance in hell of gaining enough voters to make a significant difference
Lets face it, this is not how it works.
Its just, that in british parliament, if you have 43% of the vote, you get 56% of the seats (weighted - so a group of countries, with many different parties becomes governable through a parliamental system). Also, even then to change some things you need a 2/3s majority - in which case 56% wont do it.
Its always just one or the other isn't a case in any parlamental democracy other than the US (?).
Also lets face it - people here have successfully buried a video where Boris Johnsons political adviser tells you, yes - we segmented out our audience in targetable junks using metrics derived from machine learning, then tested our slogans on a subset of multiple thousand facebook users as to what would work, then spread lies (TURKEY next in EU!), then got a face, because of some 'complicated party internal stuff' and then pulled a stunt (bus) to get free media coverage. We did that on the cheap, then we sunk in all of our advertising budget in the last week, and especially in the last two days. In facebook ads. Targeted.
And we even used phrasing, that we knew would trigger associations towards 'getting a thing back' - that never neccessarily was about 'getting a thing back'.
And yes, we especially used anything that would work, based on our scientific research (behavioral psychology), and yes - it only could work, because we played "fear of a breaking health system" against "xenophobia" against a latent hate (2008) against Londons banking sector, and yes - it only did work, because we could address all three of those.
Otherwise the 'its to your economic detriment' messaging from the other side would have prevailed.
There was no ideological underpinning, it simply was opportunistic to the core. ("I didnt want to do it first, but when I looked at how divided britain was about underlying issues - that werent addressed at the time, I though - hey, maybe its worth a shot") And it was done with billionaire financing for good meassure.
The guy speaks at an Ogilvy conference called "Nudgefest", for gods sake.
And the first audience question he gets (in a reddit style upvote system) is - do you regret what you have done?
So if you all dont want to talk about how this was done, and rather talk about anything else - you are a right wing idealist?
Also remember, when we told you six months back that this is how it was done? Because we did.
All of you have this information one click on youtube away. I prompted you twice to watch it. And all you got as a reaction were some idiot extremists trying to burry it with 'a video wont change my political position' - and it worked.
This was my own test - if society really can be that stupid - and nothing can be surfaced on facebook style 'opinion feeds anymore' and yes, thats the case. If you flood a posting with emotional opinion porn - it doesnt matter what anyone posts - anything is too high effort to check out, compared to just posting your ad hock emotions.
None of you identified, that that was what it was.
Now go back and watch it.
