Massive shock that people with secure housing and decent employment do not generally crave political change.
We will need to acknowledge it at some point, but I strongly hold that this attitude, and the effective pulling up of the ladder for younger generations, will have a bit of a nasty surprise for us, shortly.
We’re feeding certain cohorts of people towards extremism, because they’ve very little hope of achieving the type of social mobility that once was considered the norm.
I acknowledge that there are many other aspects at play (algorithmic despair and doom of the social media etc etc) but as a country and society, we need a serious conversation with ourselves as to what we understand the social contract to me.
Any article by this FFG stooge gets a downvote. He’s no editor he’s a propagandist.
They’re the same NIMBYist people who vote against building as well. They think that building means more houses which means less demand, which means their property values go down.
Probably in the minority here. While I’m not happy with FFG I would still vote for them because I’m not convinced by the opposition.
Jesus, my eyesight must be getting worse, I tapped the headline wondering how dentists had suddenly become such a political powerhouse.
It’s shit since leaving Ireland reading so many bad headlines, like just yesterday saw apparently when surveyed we had the highest percentage in the EU of young people saying they felt excluded from society
It’s hardly surprising. The majority of people in the country are doing ok. Why would they vote for hard left parties that will probably crucify them with taxes.
> By contrast, both Labour and the Social Democrats’ support is both heavily skewed towards wealthier voters.

Not a surprised given the last election.
Same as it ever was
So they just complain?
That’s me. All I know is my gut says maybe.
