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
