Hang on - you think Sky, as in Rupert Murdoch's Sky, is biased in favour of Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party?

1. Murdoch sold his stake in Sky last year.

 

2. No, I'm accusing the pol ed of bias, not the channel.

I don't have Sky but whenever I've walked past the tv at work when it's on and they're doing election coverage it always says 'The Brexit Election' in big letters which doesn't suggest to me that they're taking their brief from Labour.

 

Any examples of this bias?

I’m certainly not as keen on politics as was a few years ago but to me in feels like a choice between a slow, decrepit decline and high risk, high reward possibly instantaneous one. I’m taking the easy way out and spoiling my ballot anyway, not that it matters as I live in a massively safe seat in Sheffield central

What is the point in that?

It’s an active message of disdain. Underrated. I’d love to do the same again this time around but I think it’s too important to vote to support brexit.

Obviously I understand why people do it but if you don’t like them, simply don’t give them your vote

What should I do then? Vote for a party I don't like or agree with or stay at home? Spoiling your ballot isn't very effective but at least it sends more of a message than being sat on my arse does

Vote for the party that’ll do the least damage? Or don’t vote at all maybe, don’t take this in the wrong way but politicians won’t change if you draw a d*ck on your paper tomorrow. Reality is, an 18 year old will just put in a different pile which will then go into the bin.

What shall I have for my tea tomorrow while we're at it?

Spoiled ballots get counted, therefore it’s a message. No party will pander to apathy. Spoiling a ballot tells them didn’t do enough.

Yes, I know they are counted and are included in turnout percentages. Doesn’t matter if they haven’t done enough as there’ll be a conservative / labour government whatever happens, regardless of whether you have spoiled your ballot paper.
