I absolutely cannot for the life of me imagine how the UK could've looked at the last few years and the absolute clusterfu** that is Brexit, and overwhelmingly swung towards 'yep, these are definitely the people we want running our country'. Baffling.
yayThe axis of evil is back!
they like non compulsory voting tooFirst past the post voting is the Conservatives best friend.
It’s rare all states in Australia have the 2 party preferred won by one side.
BoJo already flagging that there's a cost for Rupert's fawning coverage of all things Tory in the election..... WAR on the BBC.
Eerie parallels with Sco Mo and his "issues" with our ABC.
Boris Johnson threatens BBC with two-pronged attack
No 10 boycotts Today programme and considers decriminalising non-payment of licence feewww.theguardian.com
These campaigners will not give up until public broadcasters are minimised or better still eradicated.
Naturally the party leaders have to be accountable but giving Labor the blowtorch while the conservatives get a wink and a nodDo you think the parties themselves bear any responsibility for the election losses or is it 100% the media that has dictated these election results in the US the UK and Australia?
Thanks for the warningThere’s a wonderful tv show on Stan called Yellowstone. If you take away the many killing plot lines / scenes what you’re left with is probably the best explanation of conservative politics you’ll ever see.
Wales and Scotland aren’t states!It’s rare all states in Australia have the 2 party preferred won by one side.

They are dirt cheap in other countries. So expensive here!No kidding I get that supermarkets have staples like milk parked far away from the cashier and trollys that are designed to not
run straight but IKEA's layout is peak customer manipulation. Betcha their stores worldwide are identical. Not a big fan of flat packs
and the quality is pretty ordinary.
The countries making up the UK might as well be. The UK government being equivalent to our Federal and the countries being states with State governments. I get the result is s**t for many, but if you're going to have any sort of union for government purposes you can't crack the shits about it not working just when 'the other side' is elected.Wales and Scotland aren’t states!

What are you talking about cracking the shits? Welsh and Scottish nationalism (as well as Irish) has been an item for the last 150 years, it’s not about ‘the other side’. You clearly have very little understanding of British politics to make these statements.
The issue is that countries that have been colonised are given a false impression that they are allowed to vote for the government, which the numbers make absolutely untrue. Colonialism with an extra step.
Murdoch operates mostly in England, Australia and the USA.The "Murdoch Press" doesn't seem to be getting much traction in the countries that aren't England. I think you're over stating that factor. On the flip side the biggest consumer of the ABC are Older people and Regional folk, yet the left leaning ABC doesn't seem to get much traction with them. I still subscribe to the fact that at a base level most people are insular, have a degree of inherent racism, prefer stability and don't like their s**t taken from them. At the moment, the right wing parties offering them that, and until their economies or the environment or even their freedoms gets substantially worse so that effects their day to day lives, they are going to stick with the status quo.

None of these governments have a similar ring to Them?
Good grief.
They convinced people Corbyn was a communist, racist terrorist ffs!
That Hilary was a murderer and paedo.
That Shorten would steal all your pensions.
Unbelievable that you’d try to play down their role, truly.

I work a fair bit with people living in Gibraltar and have great sympathy for them with Brexit. They voted 96% to remain and are going to be more effected by Brexit than anyone, including the Northern Irish, but ultimately have no sway in the process. Many grew up when there was a closed boarder with Spain and there is a chance that will happen again post Brexit but they all see sovereignty from the UK would leave them beholden to Spain and the EU.
Scotland is at least comparatively affluent and could function as a stand alone economy. Given their energy production the EU would be clammering over themselves to roll out the welcome mat. If they had the sovereign wealth of Norway they could probably even function outside the EU. Although in reality if they were independent they would remain incredibly closely tied with England.
But Wales, no one in there right mind actually thinks an independent Wales is good idea do they? The EU wouldn’t be in a rush to bring in another basket case economy and I doubt an independent Wales could expect kind treatment from England either. Even the political argument is a stretch, they voted majority to leave and are probably one of the parts of the UK that could most likely expect to benefit from Brexit.
Shorten used his Mediscare campaign that nearly won him an election but that was ok?
Both sides do it, it's politics.
I just think it's way too simplistic to blame the press. Murdoch or any other.
