Niko Omilana and Max Fosh are two prominent UKpostsrs who stood to be Mayor of London in the 2021 election. In a field of 20 candidates they used their campaigns to create a series of UKposts videos, which they monetised using adverts.
BBC London’s Jamie Moreland explores whether the internet influencers were simply pursuing clicks or if they were genuinely trying to shake up mainstream politics.

I think it makes sense. The BBC interviews on important topics and famous people. At the time Niko when Niko asked for an interview he was not very known (outside of youtube). The BBC can't just interview any random person that asks for it. Now after he got 5th it makes sense to interview him.

Lifes would literally be saved if he did such an amazing Shout-OUt for the Workerclass.

During London's Mayoral run, you had Count Binface which has been around for some time now.

@sharks2571
@sharks2571 2 роки тому
@@maiqtheliar7552 yes, young people should very much be encouraged to vote.... for good candidates. There are many excellent young politicians around the world, however this example, of two completely unqualified candidates who would be terrible in office, may set a concerning precedent. Even if young people like their content, this is only a subset of the Youth vote anyway, and liking content and policy are vastly different (see Donald trump). The issue with having charasmatic youtubers and celebrities as candidates is that it is possible that they split and water down the vote. Biden was initially one of the less favoured candidates in the democratic primary in 2019/20, however so many moderates (Harris, Gabbard, Klobachar, Buttigieg, Yang etc) were running, that they all split the moderate democratic vote, so that even though Biden was not too popular, he won the primary. This is also how Arnold Swazerneger became governor of california, and what could happen with Caitlyn Jenner is Gavin Newsom gets recalled. If in future elections we have youtubers running, appealing to the youth vote, who generally vote left leaning, in a tight election, they may take votes that would have otherwise gone to a prominent left wing candidate, resulting in a loss and less representation for young people. This is why although it seems funny, these candidacies have to be incredibly well considered so as they aren't dangerous. Max had a clear purpose- to get young people to vote, but mainly to show up a racist. He told people to vote, but he specifically told them not to vote for him. Even though I generally like max and the way he went about it, I'm still conflicted because of the potential negative reprocussions . Niko on the other hand specifically wanted peoples votes for his campaign, and all the youth vote talk seems more an afterthought . If the race had been tight, this could have meant that Nikos young, and presumably mostly left wing audience could have tipped the election and be left with a torie mayor. This was very unlikely in this case, however now it is very likely that other youtubers will take this idea and run with it, and no sane person wants a mayor Jake Paul
