Elections and politics

Is anyone else interested? I'm not party political, because I find to much that is disagreeable about the various parties, for every plus point theres an equal minus one.

I realise this might be contravercial to some, is politics a taboo subject on here?

What autism friendly policies would you like to see parties take up?

  • I'm interested and quite politically active in private, but I don't talk to anyone about it not even in online forums or the like since it seems to always end in chaos and I feel like I have to restrict myself on my knowledge and information as to not come across too much especially since I deep dive into data/fact checking and digging stuff like that out upsets folk. Kinda similar to the usual self censorship I'd do when I'm deeper into something than everyone else so I don't stand out, pretending to be casually interested or nodding and agreeing when I have an info-dump sitting in my brain wanting to come out.

  • WO, I get that too, I rarely talk about it especially on online forums, I've had a fair bit of abuse for my political views and I wouldn't say I'm that radical, I'm just not of the politial right, people always assume, that because I'm not a Tory I must support Labour and I don't, I'm non-aligned. Not getting all my political information from either you-tube or other social media seems to make me a target for conspiracy theorists too.
