[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 1037446, member: 72205"] Agreed mostly, I think blaming populism is a fair cop thought because that is what Johnson is a populist the issue with it he says the populist things and then complete breaks those promises. However the problem is how do you combat that populism and saying what you said "it uneducated voters", "its right wing press" yeah those are causes but that isn't going to get anyone to vote for you. You have to offer an 'alternative'. We've also seen that exposure to that, the rank hypocrisy of government does make minor dents in polling but it appears very short term (after last week it does appear a few days later it made about 4 points difference but yesterday it appears to have made none). The problem is what are you selling and how do you sell it. Labour don't appear currently to be offering a plan (none of the other parties do I left the LD's for a reason). Now were (hopefully) exiting the pandemic I do hope Starmer and others can actually craft that message but until they do. "Not as evil as Tories" isn't going to cut the mustard. [/QUOTE]
