I'm curious which of the main stream political parties in the UK feel like home to you?
Because all I can see is either a bunch of inept thieves, economic illiterates, genderwang proponents, climate loonies, or in my case in Scotland, the SNP, who are set on re-creating Nineteen Eighty Four.
Do you ever consider that this might be because you are getting your views from sources called things like wokefather.com? Because all I can see is either a bunch of inept thieves, economic illiterates, genderwang proponents, climate loonies, or in my case in Scotland, the SNP, who are set on re-creating Nineteen Eighty Four.

I used the website because it had statistics to make a point. I've never visited it before or after that post. I'm aware of the discourse and the statistics because I'm aware of what's going on. I'm capable of forming an opinion based on data, rather than media interpretation of data. Do you get all your views from the Guardian?

But you have to go to ALL news sources in order to form a BALANCED point of view!
Whilst I appreciate the sarcasm (highest form of wit after all), it also makes you sound condescending and arrogant. Which is basically what most of the left sounds like anyway, so I guess, par for the course?"a spectatorial, disgusted, mocking Left will give rise to a populist demagogue". - Richard Rorty

I really wanted to vote for peace and brotherly love, but a lefty pointed out that the far right are a little bit brown-shirty, and that made me feel sorry for them, so I voted Brown-shirt?
It sounds like an excuse to me mate.

The bigger boys made you do it? The reason why the 'left' might be disgusted by the far right, and might choose to mock them, is that they are pathetic and disgusting and deserve mocking?

You consider that about half of the population is pathetic and disgusting and deserve mocking?I really wanted to vote for peace and brotherly love, but a lefty pointed out that the far right are a little bit brown-shirty, and that made me feel sorry for them, so I voted Brown-shirt?

Says a lot more about you than it does them. You have no moral high ground.
The only position I'm giving at the moment is that the left has crawled so far up itself that it can't see the authoritarian elitism in its own ranks.
That's what the vote for Trump and similar populist leaders is. A rejection of a group of pseudo intellectuals that believe they have the right to dictate reality for others.

Or is it there's better built cars for the same money, and other cars that are cheaper now the Asian players are in the market?
And that too. Removing indicator stalks in the European market wasn't the cleverest move either. A lot of headwinds for Tesla. The cars are getting stale and updating the dash mounted iPad every once in a while just won't cut it. Customers want to see more than that, they want a MkII rather than a mild update.
