- WillPostForFood 10y agoSo like I said, there are well educated people on both sides. University educated split 65/35 to remain. There are reasons educated people disagree with each other. My point to the parent being: on just about every single issue, there is an educated person on both sides with an argument. To try and claim the high ground for oneself by saying there are no educated people in opposition is either self delusion or political posturing.
- davnn 10y agoI do accept that, I may have conveyed the wrong message there. I also did want not judge on what's good or bad. What I do judge however is that politicians are abusing the divide and the mass media directly influencing it. Non-egalitarian politicians are advertising themselves as the saviour of the poor. It's ironic. The media is publishing data on how education influences the votes and thus implicitly show that there are "the stupid" against "the smart". Politics is completely torn away from content to emotional rage. When people vote for the far-right they do not show that the far-right have a well thought strategy to make their lives better, but they show that they are not satisfied with their current situation. That's worrisome to me.
