I was listening to the radio and they had a guy on talking about people no longer interested in actual news, only in celebrity and sports news and that mostly only the elite that were interested in politics etc. he said this trend would continue and that people will vote less and less until only the rich will bother voting, sounds famaliar when only the elite will vote only this time they've worked it so people don't vote
{Ed001's Note - whereas I don't think it matters who you vote for unless you are amongst the elite anyway. After all, no matter who gets in they will follow the same policies of giving more tax breaks to the rich and taking the money back from the poor.}
In all likelihood that was a "misunderstanding" of statistics BigRed.
Indoctrination hour, more commonly known as "mainstream" "news", have had a massive fall in viewer numbers. However, that is not because people have no interest in the complex matters affecting the world.
People are becoming aware of the true nature of "mainstream" "news" and are receiving information from alternative news sources online. No polluted-stream media bothered collecting the visitor numbers from all these various sites before making such statements, for obvious reasons.

Agreed Ed, whichever mob gets in what will be different?
Blair was a Tory in a Labour tie and rest were/ are no better.
How can anyone have any trust in Ed when he's a millionaire anyway.
You expect to get screwed by the Tories, its a fact of life. But your own party? Hard to swallow.
I think Zari is right, people do seem to be more questioning compared to say 5 years ago.
