I don't think we can take anything for granted anymore. We seem to be a polarised society, I sway to the left as I get the impression most in here do. But can I ask.... does anyone else find themselves missing the calm old days when everyone seemed to be around the middle but slightly one way or the other politically, and the views / arguments in the pub would be as tame as economy vs public services. So many peoples politics seem to be extreme and about hating one group of people or another now, noone can accept each others points of view, your in one box or the other. It almost feels as if one group feeds the other bow and they make each other more powerfull. For every right wing nutter wanting off shore oil rigs to house asylum seekers begind bars, we seem to get someone equally as ridiculous popping up on the left (well.maybe not quite lol). Its scary though, I feel like each group gives power to the other and eventually it could all just meet at the same place if you catch my drift? Left and right being so on the extreme that we once again can barely tell the difference! I wonder where this will be when my children are 20 odd
