Should we sit down and be nice to Pauline?
No.
Sitting down with her and chatting to her gives credibility to her views that will actually help her. As if what she has to say is worth hearing. It isnt.
What her voters are feeling and thinking is worth hearing but we should not assume that just because they voted for Pauline means they support everything she says and thinks. Swinging voters are far more likely to vote against something than for something. A vote for Pauline was a vote against the mainstream parties. The real question is not what they see in Pauline, but what they are not seeing in the other parties.
Thats why I suggest that rather than having a cup of tea with Pauline, we should make fun of the absolutely stupidity of her policies.
