A couple of blowhard leftists in my local newspaper attributed the British election results to “Astroturf” campaigns under control of “the American right.” According to these smug, condescending leftists, the British who voted for the independence party are too stupid to know what’s good for them.
I know, we are always “voting against our best interests” according the them. As if that is the only criteria for voting.
I love that phrase. Because if that is the only criteria for voting, then it would vote to take from everyone else and give it myself! That is what is in MY best interest.
I would dearly love to “vote in my own best interest” and then see how they like it.
