holy shit are you fucking serious right now? look at the data table at the bottom of the page you yourself linked in your first post. there are 221 polls list there. the chart i posted earlier is based on all 221 of those polls. i highlighted the high number of >50% poll results in favour of remain compared to the very low number of >50% poll results for leavelosCHUNK wrote:The data you had mentioned only included +50 polls which by your own numbers was small (37 out of 228)...

There you go.losCHUNK wrote:Infact if you look at that trendline, it's because of the results in the middle in favour of a stay vote that are influencing it.
It gets much closer towards the end with only a clear lead opening up in the last week.

uh, actually predatory lenders and unscrupulous banks tanked the economy, then government (Labour) spending was blamed. the Tories' austerity was a combination of neoliberal business as usual and sheer incompetence that made something that was pretty bad even worselosCHUNK wrote:I'll fuck it
Aren't dirty foreigners blamed by the poor when the economy is doing shit ?. Cos you know, shit rolls down hill.
Just look at the smug faced piggy fucking cunt in Downing Street, they'll vote him in but cos he tanked the economy the immigrants get the blame.

I was inspired by the current election cycle, so a few weeks ago I re-read 1984, and I just finished re-reading Brave New World over the weekend. I used to be concerned that the world was moving toward the dystopia Huxley warned about, but it's become clear that Orwell was way more on the mark. So much so, that I feel like 1984 is being used as a sort of playbook by the political elite. The government has a constant need for an "other" to be at war with, for example. And the social caste has never been more stark, although I don't know where the proles end and the Outer Party begins. And the government is obsessed with re-labeling things with language that's more benign, or altogether non-descriptive, in an effort to obfuscate or ameliorate peoples' legitimate concerns.Memphis wrote:Never prolly. What with the left going so far left, it's becoming synonomous with third-wave feminism and other SJW antics that want to restrict all freedom of speech and label everyone racists, sexists and homo/transphobic, simply for being white/male/not a tranny, employing double-think, newspeak, disruption, no-platforming, virtue signalling and any other tyrannical force at hand, like it's nineteen eighty cunting four and all ends justify any means. Meanwhile they act as apologists for Islam, rape brigades and making everyone so terrified of being labelled by the social justice stasi, that folks get caught out trying to outright avoid any talk about the negative sides of immigration, clashing cultures, or religions so mired in dark age thinking, that it has the clits cut from pre-pubescent girls. The effect? More moving to the right. Lol.
