Political polling

[brogdale]

To be fair, I'm not surprised, given the utter futility of a range of options that offer zero hope beyond more of the same old shit.

Add to that the political de-education of our class over decades, which now doesn't even have minimal trade union consciousness these days, then the fact that the majority of young 'uns are not Tory/populist/fascist gives at least some hope... though not a lot.

ETA positive things like the BLM movement now seem a distant memory.

Yeah, from the same polling fieldwork, I think the responses to this question are interesting:



Quite understandable to see that 25 -44 YO cohort not believing that voting can make any difference when they've seen just that.

If you’re that age you’re most likely still never affording a place of your own, and shit will still keep getting expensive. No way out.

Pretty much. Get fucked by exploitive bosses, energy companies and the landlords. We're fucked if we lose our rented place in Bristol and there is zero security.

It's not all bad though! And we have it much better than others, but rent and housing is probably the biggest single issue for my age group. I don't even want to buy but it's the only option in this market, and it's not an option if you don't have the money.

If i was asked if i wanted a dictator by a polling company i'd probably say yes just for the shits and giggles

Do these polls have any protections against bots?
