"Electioneering" is what got us into this mess in the first place. Making promises you know you cannot deliver (aka lying), appealing to the worst sentiments of the narrow minded, and encouraging divisions might win elections but is it really showing leadership and the best way to develop a society?

I don't know but why not ask George Osborne as he was one of the worst culprits I can think of many current politicians who are much worse. In the minds of "leave" voters Osborne's primary "sin" it seems was making predictions about the consequences of a leave vote succeeding. Consequences which haven't materialise. Yet. He was being political but there was more truth underlying what he suggested than in many other statements made at that time.

Or in other words "narrow minded". Whilst currently most populist regimes are from the right they can just as easily come from the left.

The blokes who go around with a Sandwich board saying the end of the world is nigh. One day, hopefully thousands of years from now, they will be right. In the meantime most people are looking at the here and now and the politicians and the economists can't even get that right.

Oh he was "electioneering" for sure. He had to in response to the claims being made by "leave". Which is why I so strongly object to putting such a critical issue to the winds of chance of a referendum and the resultant expectations that have been so obvious in the last 3 years. This issue should have been a pledge in a manifesto after agreement within a political party. Then if they become the government they can start the process in the hope they can get it through Parliament. In that way everyone would know where they stand.

You have the narrow mind, old boy.

He is a repetitive single minded know it all and you will never get a sensible answer from him. I think he needs to go for a long walk and stop digging himself into a deeper hole on these boards.
Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky. |
