In the UK between 1945 and 1970, 66% of the middle class voted Conservative and 62% of the working class voted Labour. This is no longer so for a variety of reasons. This article explains why.
When House Democrats introduced what they call the Heroes Act this month, they described it as “a bold and comprehensive coronavirus response bill that will meet the challenge this pandemic poses to our nation.” Among its provisions: restoring the full deductibility of state and local taxes,...

Interesting idea, but how do you do that? According to Leonard Beeghley “Many politicians, heirs to fortunes, top business executives such as CEOs, successful venture capitalists, and celebrities are considered members of the upper class. Some prominent and high-rung professionals may also be included if they attain great influence and wealth. The main distinguishing feature of this class is their source of income. While the vast majority of people and households derive their income from salaries, those in the upper class derive their income primarily from investments and capital gains.”

Other than Clinton, it seems a long time since the US had brainbox at the top. Not sure how they estimated some of these in the article though. Could be biased.
I think we should thank Reagan and Trump for making mental health issues a topic for discussion when it comes to ruling the world. Though it’s funny how Biden scoffed when being questioned about his state of mind.
President Cyril Ramaphosa. President Ramaphosa, who was voted into power in 2018, earns $341,803, 19 times more than the average South African – you want him to have more if he gets more people to vote against him? With respect, this is a very STUPID IDEA
What world leaders earn compared to their citizens
On average, world leaders earn six times more than their citizens, according to research by jobs website adzuna.com.au. Adzuna compared the annual salaries of leaders from 45 nations with the average income of their population. Coming in first place is South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. Presid... Read more
They do it for the perks not the pay. If they wanted money they would have stayed in industry. Plus, not all of them are money-grabbers. Check this list out, Putin and some others are doing quite well by having a job that protects their other incomes.
Here are 20 of the highest paid world leaders – Trump makes the list, who else?
It is not surprising that so many of the poorest people choose not to vote. Theirs is not an act of apathy – for they are often intensely political – but of disgust
The UK is very much a ‘divided democracy’, with electoral participation among the young and the poor declining dramatically. This political estrangement will not be curtailed by quick fixes or tech…
I don’t think the American trump voters or UK Brexiteers intended it, but they are pushing the cause of a global government, regardless of which nations get a decent share during the initial power grab.

Science, climate and peace sure are global issues that affect the entire world. Maybe each government should vote for a world leader. A possible solution to the one-sided situation we will enter true globalism with.
The US president’s actions have exacerbated the pandemic that has killed more than 200,000 people in the United States, rolled back environmental and public-health regulations and undermined science and scientific institutions. Some of the harm could be permanent.
Not to worry, America’s influence on the world is declining, due to their self-interested voting record. America-First… not for long.
“It hasn’t been OK. After four years of Trump’s “America first” — or, more accurately, “America only” — approach to international relations, the U.S. is less respected and less influential than it has been in decades. “

Sounds reasonable on first view but the CPI isn’t a good measure of how well things are going – plus, what if the previous administration messed up and things skydive? Then you would only have politicians who don’t need the money- because they have plenty already.
President’s campaign spokesperson Hogan Gidley says Democratic candidate ‘can’t ever buy a way out of his 47 years’ worth of failure in elected office’
Not if it sways the vote away from your guy…. Sunday’s order came as little surprise after the state’s supreme court on Oct. 22 denied a similar request to halt drive-through voting, in a lawsuit filed by the Republican parties of Texas and Harris County.
Texan Republicans lose bid to halt drive-through voting but fight continues
A group of Texas Republicans have lost one of two legal challenges they brought in the hope of halting drive-through voting in Houston and having more than 120,000 votes thrown out.

“Politicians might offer enticing tax breaks to woo voters at the next electoral contest, while ignoring long-term issues out of which they can make little immediate political capital”
Why we need to reinvent democracy for the long-term
When politicians fail to look beyond the next election – or even the latest tweet – they are neglecting the rights of future generations, argues public philosopher Roman Krznaric.
Interesting, both the US and UK are more dissatisfied than satisfied with how parliamentary democracy panned out. Time for a rethink, but despite the US being a republic rather than a democracy, it seems offering an alternative is unamerican. Times are changing though.

Yeah, they should have to submit their spend before election is called in order to qualify – or be disqualified. Cheating shouldn’t be rewarded in this case, its too important.
“Likewise, if the Commission’s incorrect interpretation of the law effectively allowed the official Leave Campaign to spend more than the official Remain campaign, then Remainers have significant grounds for grievance.
At the centre of all of this sit the Electoral Commission, who do seem to have blundered. There have been some loud calls for a serious shake up there from both sides of this quarrel today, and I have some sympathy for that.”
The High Court found that Vote Leave broke the law in a new way
England & Wales's High Court has ruled that Vote Leave broke campaign spending limits in addition to the way that the Electoral Commission previously said they did.
Chief whips are the real chaos merchants. Quote from a former tory chief bully boy:
“Problems involving members “might be debt, or it might be a scandal involving small boys”.
“They would come and ask if we could help,” Fortescue said. “And if we could we did, and we would do everything we could, because we could store up brownie points.
“That’s one of the reasons we would get a chap out of trouble – because he’d then be ours forever-more.”
Edward Heath's Tory whip would cover up 'scandals involving small boys' and MPs
You can add all these arseholes to the list for a start. Would be interesting to know which one tops the shit list as voted by users. And yep, boycotting just the worst one would ensure they changed their ways – or die.

Is class, still a thing. or are we talking about wealth?
Democrats are attracting more affluent voters. Maybe because many of their representatives are from well-off families.
Interesting idea, but how do you do that?

It isn’t in the interest of the ruling party to have more people vote, so don’t expect a raise.
You want more people to vote? Give them a better income. Easily explained here.

Would be nice to know how many corp doners siphon funds to their parties in £500 batches to avoid detection. Here are the liberals donate page.
looks interesting.
Labour do it in a page – the Tories have a whole subdomain dedicated to raising funds https://donate.conservatives.com/#!/
This is called disaproval voting I think – it could just take a vote of the one you negatively voted for. simple.
Would solve this problem at least “Won’t vote trump but don’t know how to stop him.”
The rest of the world could learn a thing or two from the UK here. It teaches kids about voting and what people do to try to sway your opinion.
Having a right to affect your own life is laid out by law – which is why many schools have councils. They are a great thing and should be universal.
