    This is always an interesting one - who is “propagandising” us, and what do they have to gain from their significant investment in advancing this agenda?

      Well I mean, have you researched the issue, analyzed it, and developed your own position based on evidence?

      Or are you just listening to what comes out of the TV?

      If you get your opinions from someone who hands them to you fully formed (like Voice good, no voice racist) then that is propaganda, not information.

      As to your second question - a: politicians scoring points and winning elections; and b: a whole lot of people who get a hand in deciding laws and economic decisions for their own special group.

      And before you bang out the line about lobby groups all having a say already - yes of course we should fuck those off as well because they too are undemocratic corruption
