Yes, true Sephiroth. And Moovart's right in that, whatever direction it's coming from, it disenfranchises the electorate and gives rise to populism. It certainly doesn't help achieve social justice, or bring about meaningful change. Mind you, nor does so-called pragmatism and idealogical neutrality, as we're seeing today. So who bloody knows what the answers are now. -

I mean this is definitely true - but it rather overlooks the endless angry energy that comes from the right - and not even the far right. Just pick up any issue of Telegraph or Spectator. Or have a look at Priti Patel discussing starving the Irish when Brexit negotiations weren't going well for them. Or some far right idiot killing Jo Cox. Or newspaper articles talking about the need to "kill Corbyn" https://www.medialens.org/2016/killing-corbyn/ left vs right aside for a moment - one thing I already know but this thread proves - you have to be some kind of either lunatic or legend to want to become a councillor. The amount of vitriol (again, from all sides to all sides - but primarily just from average voters) makes it an impossible task for negligible reward or even achievement -
I'd say the far left had pretty good reasons to be angry, but that discussion is one for the lounge.
