Maybe, in a world highly influenced by social media, the loudest voices are those which evoke strong emotional responses. These are the voices who are liked (and disliked) into our social media feeds – the silent majority does not react any more. Those who should the loudest are on the extremes of opinion. Personally I do not supporting political parties nor do I support extremism; however politicians will take support wherever they can get it and social media is everywhere. The loudest shouting crazies are heard the most and so politicians are increasingly aware of the publicity power of associating themselves with strong and easy-to-understand opinions, regardless of whether there is any real value or truth in them.
