Over the years – and especially recently – people have become fed up with politics. And honestly, it’s no surprise.

Politics can seem noisy, complicated and straight-up ugly.

Recent events such as Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic have divided our country in ways that we have never seen before.

To make matters worse: disinformation, misinformation and conspiracies are spreading like wildfire.

And despite all of this, things don’t have to be this way.

Maybe, all we need is a refresh…

As you might have already guessed, this is where The Political Refresh comes in.

The Political Refresh is about fighting for a country where:

  • Politics is understood and accessed by everyone.
  • People can hold opposing views without hating each other.
  • Lies and conspiracies no longer mislead us.

How will we try to achieve this?

First: We’ll keep you informed on the most important political news and events. Breaking down the big stories so they’re easy to understand. 

Second: We will promote tolerance and empathy while encouraging healthy debates. People with different views from yours are not your enemy.

Third: We’ll try our best to help tackle disinformation, misinformation and conspiracies. Helping you to spot lies and giving you the tools to deal with them.

Above all else: We promise to always remain completely and utterly unbiased. 

If this sounds like a platform that interests you, then great. If it doesn’t, still stick around, give it a chance. You might be surprised.

On a personal note, I really hate how hostile politics has become. I hate how people feel detached from the system. I’m not happy one bit and I want to try and make a difference. No matter how big or small.

So, that’s what The Political Refresh is all about. Let’s take a big breath. And let’s get started.
