It takes all kinds, but why do you think that in general the likes of Brake, Transport 2000, Reclaim the Streets, Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, Swampy and the anti-roads protesters, Anti-hunt protesters, Environmentalists in general, and the anti-car lobby in particular have got where they are today.

Tricky. I'd have said moderately successful because they like to deliver oversimplified messages to people either too lazy or too busy to think about it in much depth. Yet also increasingly less successful in that the same people are starting to wake up and realise that we can't really do without cars so we have to have roads on which to use 'em, wind turbines produce electricity erratically and bird mince regularly, and so on. Not sure how your voting options allow me to express that.

It's simpler than that.

You can sell any old rubbish if you have enough cash.

Spin it. Make it simple. Make it glossy. Pitch it. Make enough noise and 'customers' will queue up.

I'm trying to keep it simple but not oversimplified. :wink:

So you're voting successful, all we need to know is are their messages confrontational or conversational.

Over to you.
