yep, if you can't challenge the argument with reasoned debate and resort to name calling
then you are just as vacuous as the opponent.
The problem I see is that we have such a terrible bunch of leaders and parliamentarians on all sides of the debate. May and Corbyn are both dire in their own ways, intellectually moderate to poor and the debate has been overtaken by polarised views that resort to outright lies and hateful insults as soon as someone shows an alternate viewpoint.
It turns off voters completely. Whilst pundits wibble on about the daily ebb and flow of polls, 90% of the electorate don't give a shit. They are completely disengaged from the playground antics of Westminster and who can blame them? What difference does it make to them if Corbyn doesn't know a number? Wonks may care because not knowing the details of a policy you have expressly turned up to promote seems kinda amateur, but as long as he continues to say "you can have free stuff that we'll get by taxing the rich" then he'll get votes. May is simply well above her pay grade and on autopilot, taking control freakery to a new level where you fuck up because you won't tell anyone anything and then find out they were all shit ideas.
So amusing as your posters may feel to you, I think you are just contributing to the paucity of intelligent debate. I wish it were more grown up, but then again we don't seem to have the attention span for it. I'll just watch Jonathan Pie instead, at least his vitriol is intelligently considered.
