[QUERY] Political Nicknaming

Postby Vassenor » Sun Apr 30, 2017 1:17 pm

I'm wondering whether the content of these posts (namely the use of the term "FibDem" to refer to the Liberal Democrats party) constitutes derogatory political nicknaming.

-Kekistan- wrote:The Fib Dems should be thankful for Brexit. It made them relevant again, now all the anti-democrats can vote for them.


-Kekistan- wrote:read my quote properly. I'm not saying voting FibDem is anti-democratic, I'm saying the FibDems are anti-democrats. I'm saying they're relevant again because of a democratic plebiscite that went Leave in a 53/48 decision. I'm sure you'd want the vote again if Remain had won, am I right? :)


-Kekistan- wrote:I never called them enemies of the people either, I said they were anti-democrats I think it's a push to call them enemies. I won't say all FibDem voters are anti-democrats, some are genuine supporters of Social Liberalism and that's fine with me. They're my countrymen as well as yours so we all have our own opinions.


-Kekistan- wrote:No I'm not, I'm saying Anti-Democrats can vote FibDem if they want to.


-Kekistan- wrote:Show what is anti-democratic? The FibDems you mean?

They will happily overturn a democratic Plebiscite and re-run it and they support the EU institutions that have a long history of contempt for the concept of national democracy.

I don't read the Daily Mail, it's sensationalised garbage. I also don't agree with their headline even though I'm a Brexiteer.

More still from -Kekistan-, published shortly after Vassenor's original report (above). Emphasis my own:
-Kekistan- wrote:*sigh*

I'm not saying voting FibDem is an anti-democratic thing to do. I'm saying the FibDem policy of another Plebiscite is in contradiction to a democratic mandate. People can vote FibDem if they want, they know what they're voting for I don't need to keep saying it.
