Demanding elections for businesses? That’s sounds a bit like socialist rhetoric, Comrade Liz!
Ahh, the ‘silent majority’ routine! It’s funny how the article has to constantly use scare quotes when repeating all these nebulous spooky concepts like ‘the argument’ and ‘the public’. What argument? Which public? The publics which voted out ‘conservative’ parties in Britain and Australia?
The same unelected Bank Of England that pretty much saved the economy from unelected Prime Minister Liz Truss? Almost as though sometimes you just need experts who understand what they’re doing in charge of things.
The silent majority argument feels like ‘girlfriend goes to another school’ argument of politics.
And if a bunch of people were to believe something, but aren’t vocal about it, doesn’t that mean they either don’t care or know it’s wrong to some extent?
legit, I’ve just started slinging that back when they go on about “the public” or “the majority” or other nebulous bullshit.
you wouldn’t know them. they go to another school
I think the insinuation is they are being oppressed.
