Theresa May wants to deploy an army of computerized “mind-readers” to help her win the next Election, sources claim.

Tory chiefs have been in talks with Cambridge Analytica, the polling data experts credited with playing a key role in Donald Trump’s presidential victory.

The British company, run by Old Etonian Alexander Nix, 40, uses computers to “mine” huge amounts of data on voters — including Facebook likes, favorite foods, TV shows and even football clubs. …

No different than what ABCDisney News said they were doing prior to the start of the 2016 election season.

Her problem is going to be that there is no typified Trump supporter. To be able to correctly identify him/her, one would have to develop an algorithm that could discern the level of being pissed off by anyone with a brain and who wasn’t sucking off the government teat. It would be like trying to computerize every aspect of the shit-on American’s life and simultaneously couple that to what he/she feels about media, effing politicians, RINOs, special victims’ groups and all that.

Impossible.

She ought to try having honest, pro-Britain and pro-British policies.

How much should I charge for this advice?

Cambridge Analytica is backed by a conservative hedge fund billionaire family — the one who backs Breitbart — and worked for both Trump and the pro-Brexit campaign. Sophisticated models backed by massive data are powerful tools, but they can only be as good as the political minds and purposes to which they are directed. They are not a substitute for having a good campaign, a good message, and a sound strategy.

I bet they would be slathered in froth if they knew the Russians were developing a mind control device decades ago.
