The past twelve months in world politics has been full of referendums and general elections: since last June, we have the EU Referendum in Britain; the US election and President Trump; the failed referendum in Italy; a failed coup d’état in Turkey and a referendum a few days ago; the Dutch election; and the upcoming French election… Yet it is clear that the British Prime Minister, Theresa May was not totally satisfied with the number as she called for a snap general election on the eighth of June. That would be about merely two years since last general election. 

The Prime Minister said she made the decision due to frustration in Brexit negotiations both within and beyond the Parliament, while it has been criticised as irresponsible for putting a general election before any agreement with the EU. She justified the decision by saying ‘The country is coming together, but Westminster is not’, but in fact the opposite seems to have more truth as the Parliament are currently far more united than people in the country. Another example that the term ‘country’ does not necessarily mean the people. Did I mention that last week, the House of Commons voted in favour of an early election with a margin of 509? A bit of an own goal here, mate. ‘If you can't ignore the facts, Prime Minister, you have no business being in government.’

Mrs May and the Tories might think the timing is right for them to grab more power in Westminster when the Conservative Party now hold a massive majority of 44 percent, but there are enough things for her to worry, since after all, she’s never won a general election.

People talk about Brexit not only because it’s important for Britain, but also because of its repercussion to the rest of the world. For centuries this nice little country… oops, sorry for this remark, I’m from China. This country has always been setting examples to others, well, in one way or the other. Now it is clear that Brexit has not only brought a widespread Euroscepticism in the EU, but also a wider wave of protectionism across the world.

Interestingly, it is said that internet companies such as we are playing a big role in shaping up the these sentiments among the angry voters, just think about how social media helped the Americans to vote for the man who’s interested in building walls, both literally and figuratively. 

But that is simply not true! As team designing keyboard apps, we believe in making the best ever mobile keyboard for you. However, what you type with it is purely your concern. You don’t blame there is pen and paper just because someone uses it to write bad things, do you? On the contrary, I would argue the real problem is that people with conscience and wisdom such as you are often not as good in using today’s mobile technology as those who support protectionism. So to be clear, it’s not about the technology, it’s how we use it.

So how do you react to the early general election? We would like to listen to your true voices about this, to restore our faith in the role of the internet and freedom of speech, even in today’s politics. If you disagree with something, do put forward your arguments. Obviously you remain the right be keep silent, but you might risk losing the battlefield of the internet to those who oppose you.

So what is your opinion? We wish to listen to them for a more balanced and global view about the world politics. Please do not hesitate to send us your attitudes. Just contact us via Facebook, Twitter or email.
