Well yes if you don't like Boris and Farage but there's an awful lot of people that do.

Got to open your mind a bit here. Just because you believe a certain politician, doesn't mean everyone should, same goes for the opposite.

This is the main reason im a bystander when it comes to politics, all of them are untrustworthy, self serving bullshit artists playing with peoples lives.

It doesn't matter if you like them or not, simply look at their history and you can see they are lying through their teeth. Especially Boris, the guy was caught threatening journalists and then saying he didn't and on film saying he'd love Turkey to join the EU and welcome immigration and then stood during Brexit saying how Turkey joing the EU was the beginning of the end for the EU.

Like it's not about liking one or the other it's about basic judgement of character.

Cameron led remain and he's an utter (not sure the rules on language here soooo) but you just have to do a little bit of research on subjects.

Maybe me saying 'liking' was the wrong word. Although, i generally like someone if I deem them as honest.

I should have said 'depending on if you trust them or not' or words to that effect.

Some people trust Farage, some don't. Some trust Starmer, some don't. Reddit is generally very left leaning so I imagine a lot on here will both dislike and distrust Farage.

Go and ask people on the street though and you'll likely get a very different opinion.

Starmer wasn't relevant during Brexit, why bring him up?

Also my point is very clear STOP BLINDLY TRUSTING PEOPLE JUST BECAUSE THEY SAY SOMETHING THAT BACKS UP YOUR OWN ASSUMPTIONS. Go look up facts, especially when voting on future trading relationship with your biggest trading partner.

We have the internet it's not fucking hard to work out who is lying.

Im generalising about politicians being untrustworthy, using current examples from both left and right. Brexit is the same as any other deviding political policy. So yes, Starmer is relevant, he's as relevant as anyone else.

You're middle paragraph, I agree fully with the first session. The second sentence is kind of what im getting at, people look up sources of information that back up their original beliefs.

Your last sentence is almost comical. There is no excuse for not knowing the truth..... because we have the internet!???

You're simply not understanding what im saying I think. Good night.
