I woudn’t be so sure about that.
The advent of social media that is still very much a “work in progress” these past three years in particular - will continue to have a MASSIVE effect on elections, and their run-up.
Look at how Social Media absolutely crushed Mays “Non-Campaign” in last year’s election for starters? If nothing else, Corbyn for all his faults - got out on foot, and conducted an actual proper campaign. There is absolutely no chance that he and other loons in the Labour Party will be losing their seats any time soon either. The same cannot be said of say, Boris Johnson and Theresa May however.
John McDonnell supporters are already active in Boris Johnson’s next door constituency, and we already see how dramatically Boris’ poll was weakened in what was supposed to be a “Tory Safe Seat”.
I’m suggesting that Social Media campaigns will have MUCH more of an effect on future election results - than we’ve seen so far.
The Establishment realize this of course, and are already hard at work trying to crush dissenting social media campaigns of any sort “considered anti-establishment” - out off the internet pages.
Meanwhile, with the information leaking out so Mainstream Media cannot “manage” it quite so well any longer - All UKIP have to do to drum up further support is keep on telling the truth about stuff, get called all the usual names for doing so, - and end up getting the sympathy vote, if nothing else!
It is also worth pointing out that the British Public were quick enough to vote UKIP as “The Largest Party” in the last EU MEP elections, which left our UK political map looking like this at that time…
Imagine that being reflected upon the next election with UKIP getting an “Anger” vote like it has never had before?
On effect of “Brexit not being done in time” is that Britain will still be eligible for another round of MEP election as well. I don’t think the British People would bother much what that though, choosing instead to just start kicking out prior “safe seat” mainstream politicians of the top four main parties as it stands.
Contrary to popular belief, there are Brexiteers in Scotland, among the Libdems, and of course among Labour and Tory grass roots supporters in particular.
Condense that 48% support for Remain back into the original 1% elites stage-managing the entire issue of Brexit and “why we must never be allowed to have it” - and more people will realize how they’ve been had by the constant stream of lies and mis-information regarding the effects of both the EU during the years we’ve been in it, and the effects of Brexit - once it is actually DONE.
