Labour has a lot of information available on their policies and there was that 6 first steps last week. The election was only called 5 days ago, and I don’t think any major party has a full manifesto published yet.
Oh don’t get me wrong this isn’t a dig at Labour. This is politics in general. The same shit is happening with the US elections. It’s just an election about personality and nothing else over there. Perhaps parties could spend more time on the boring stuff rather than memes which inherently don’t paint the full picture and simplify often complex subjects into the visual equivalent of sound bites.

And this is totally shit and unacceptable. They knew an election would happen this year. Why haven’t they got manifestos ready to go on day one? In a draft where they can update it quickly after it was called. We’ve got a little over a month to digest it and scrutinise and challenge it. I actually know why they haven’t. Because neither party wants to be challenged on the substance of their policies. You can hear it when interviewed on the radio or telly. They just delay and delay their answers and ultimately don’t say anything.
It’s totally unacceptable from the Conservative Party since they’re the ones that called the election. In Labour’s case however they probably have the excuse that they genuinely didn’t think the election would be called until the end of the year. They thought they had months yet.
Totally agree the ‘good chap’ principle really doesn’t work these days where we have such a corrupt and dishonest government willing to sabotage their opposition at the expense of the country.
Personally I like the more meme style videos, up until this last week the LabourParty shorts and main channel videos have been very dry, boring policy stuff presented in a way that is just not engaging to a YouTube audience.
Don’t get me wrong I really want to have the information contained in the videos, but you need to engage with your audience on YouTube, if they are not entertained or effectively informed, then the chances of them clicking on another video is very small.

Maybe we can have memes and politics?

😜 We have more memes than politics at the moment.
