Something I hear commonly when talking to people, is the dreaded phrase “I’m non-political”. Usually said to mean that they either don’t know, care, or understand politics. It’s likely true that a lot of these people don’t understand or know about the intricacies of politics in the UK, but it’s usually a complete lie that they don’t care. These ‘non-political’ people are often more political than they realise, or care to admit. Let’s dive into this for a little while.
Note – I authored this piece, all constructive criticism and discussion is welcomed, thanks!
First let me say, thanks for taking the time to write this out, hugely appreciate you for that.
Will definitely look to introduce more studies that I can then pick apart, can see how that would help with length and substance. I’ve been trying to walk the line between being too academic and too, well, not. I always had the thought that a vast majority of people would likely turn off if they start seeing academic studies references and the likes. That being said, I don’t actually have the data on if that would be true for my readership, so it’s worth a shot.
Combining these is a great idea, I’m going to go ahead and do that now, thanks!
Have huge problems with removing “I” statements from my work, so it’s always great to have another set of eyes on an article, thanks for pointing this out. I think I need to start reading over my articles more as just an interested reader than as the author, once I’ve finished up and decide to publish something, practice makes perfect I suppose.
Thanks for everything here.
