Youth Democracy Charity My Life My Say Claims to be “Non-Partisan” But it’s Blatantly Left-Wing
In December last year, I wrote for the Daily Sceptic about a youth democracy charity titled My Life My Say.
I believe it is no more than a voting nudge-unit for Labour/Left-wing parties, despite its claim to be a “youth-led, non-partisan movement on a mission to encourage young people to participate in democracy”. I am on my own mission to elevate its profile – so significant do I consider its efforts to influence voter behaviour.

He is an observant man Mr Musk. Also, it’s always the same folks involved in this. Great work from Charlotte Gill as always.
The whole thing is perfectly consistent with the general attitude of people with socially progressive, socialist mindsets.
They don’t see themselves as being on one side of an argument. They see their positions as being the only morally defensible position and anything else as immoral.
Not long ago I had a conversation with some recent university graduates in which abortion came up. When presented with the case against abortion, it’s not just that they disagreed, it’s that they were truly horrified that I would even put the arguments across. It’s as if just presenting the argument was way beyond the pale.
To some degree that is the typical response with any of these hot issues – immigration, gay and trans rights, feminism, Donald Trump, economic collectivism. There is the morally correct position and there’s the extremist, fascist position.
So labelling that organisation as non-partisan plays well to the mindset of people of a certain age. Obviously the people behind it know exactly what they are doing.
How long before they call it the National Socialist Party, or has that name been already taken?
I wonder if Sam Carling will be telling how he combines school with being an MP.
How Alastair Campbell still has the nerve to pronounce in public eludes me. I think maybe he would be better providing advice close to home.
