It's almost as if vilifying and discriminating against the majority of a country's population makes that majority resentful and pushes them away. Who would have thought? |
Its a common theme that I have seen in many countries including my birth country (Brazil). Politicians being elected to do what people want and then going on the exact opposite direction, which then pushes people more into the extremes. It always happened at some extent as you cant keep all your campaign promises, and some promises are made exactly to not be fulfilled, but it seems to me the disconnection between what people want and the agenda being pushed by politicians never been so wide in my lifetime (44).
What I have seen by tory government in the last 8 years, the period I have been in UK if baffling. The vast, unquestionable, supreme majority of british people, left and right, do not want mass migration. Only 9% wants it. 74% thinks it needs to decrease heavily, be net zero, or actually start sending people away to decrease the population. Yet look at what hapenned/happens. And Starmer is going in the same direction.
At the same time, Labour voters do want to see more investment, more spending, reforms on Nymbis, University Fees and other issues, and until now they are dissatisfied as they see Starmer as being almost a Tory.
Its no surprise people are pushed to the extremes, especially when the extremes more and more sound just like a real conservative or labour party would normally say or do. People have nowhere to go.
