I love Bluesky but there’s something very Bluesky about exactly this phenomenon. I put up demands for political action on global injustices and get zero traction. I criticises movie franchise or something and it’s like I’ve unleashed hell.

Couple of things:
1 It’s not just OK but right to disagree with voters if you disagree with them; it’s called integrity.
2 Polanski and Farage are clearly nowhere near equivalent. To see every non centrist as an extremist is the key distortion of centrism. /1

If this man couldn’t use the phrase ‘I don’t know’ he’d have nothing to say. Never in the field of political history has one man known so little about so much.

“Voters are turning to left-wing and green parties instead,” she said. That might be music to Zack Polanski’s ears, the recently installed leader of the Green party in England and Wales, who last month came out to declare “migration is Britain’s superpower.”

In today’s municipal elections, the Social Democrats appear likely to lose the Copenhagen mayoralty for the first time ever, partly because of discontent with Frederiksen’s immigration policies. “Copenhagen is a super cosmopolitan city that doesn’t reflect her views when it comes to immigration.”

Given that, it doesn’t look as if the Social Democrats’ shift to the right has ‘solved’ immigration as a political issue for them. If anything, there are concerns that the party will move further right again.”

Quite apart from the moral implications of adopting an immoral position to chase votes, it won’t work, on the evidence. The Tories virtually destroyed themselves and Labour have made themselves deeply unpopular without making any dent in Reform’s numbers. /1
