No mate, once they binned Boris off, they were done as far as I was concerned. Sunak is nowt more than a lap dog now constantly begging and it's starting to grate tbph.
He's a tart and also very predictable. And if he mentions his mum and dads chemist one more time, I hope he chokes on his cornflakes.
The people have the politicians they deserve, think they can have the cake, eat it, and still have the cake.
It’s got considerably worse over the last five years. When Cameron and May were PM, whilst their analysis of Labour economics was always skewed and they religiously backed unfettered free market capitalism, they did at least attempt to critique the opposition and give reasons why they thought their economics wouldn’t benefit the county as much as their own But since Boris, who got in on the back of ‘get Brexit done’ who installed a cabinet of sycophants and yes men, all of whom had practically zero competency with almost any area of governance, we’ve seen an absolute **** show in the economy, coupled with unfathomable amounts of money dished out to friends and donors of the Tories during Covid, along with the debacle that was the Liz Truss mini budget that wiped ££££ billions, sent interest and mortgage rates up and nearly put the economy into a death spiral In short, this current bunch of Tories are the most inept and out of touch Politicians I’ve known in my lifetime. And it’s no wonder they have nothing of any substance to say about Labour’s economic policies.
I'm not surprised by this, I said some while back Gaza would divide voter opinion for Labour. How important something is for you, depicts how voters cast their vote, like me voting Tory for Brexit. If you are on a Gaza/Palestine march, as he feels, why would you vote for a leader that supports the actions. Thats' not a criticism, nor a judgement, but for me just merely an observation of the events. No matter how shhite Brexit was, at least I stuck my flag on the mast, and took the shhite that went with it, be interesting to see how many more people have the courage like him to do the same.
None on here will do it. It’s all faux outrage about Palestine. If they come on and **** off the Labour Party off for their stance, I’d say fair enough. It won’t happen, though. It wasn’t just the Tories that have shifted to the right. The Labour Party have done too. Tories are now like UKIP. The Labour Party are just the old Tory party 15+ years back. Mentioned several times on here, Starmer is a Tory with a red rosette on.
Kerr Starmer is Max Headroom without the charisma I have also seen reports of Tony Blair trying to get involved with the Labour Party again and IF that is true then we will end up with no-one to vote for
I have a dream ... ... it doesn't involve the Conservative party ... nor Labour for that matter... ... but a House of Commons comprised of actual commoners ... not Oxbridge, ex-public school twats with no talent for anything else in life... ... instead, a bunch of 'normal' everyday people ... those who've stood as independents in their constituencies and have been voted in by their own communities on their ideas and principles and how such would positively impact those same communities... I have a dream ... ... won't happen in my lifetime ... but 'ti's good to dream.
I've long thought the best form of government would be a sortocracy. Not like the sortocracies of ancient Greece where only the rich could be selected, but sortocracy where anyone could be selected. There's no way to better get an accurate cross section of the population. Break free of politicians towing the party line, being career politicians, twisting the truth to get elected etc.
For that to happen, you'd need the majority of votes to not be worthless, which right now they are. The poor ****s who are voting for Reform are dumb enough to expect a few MPs out of it. In truth, to be fair and I hate Reform, they should absolutely finish this election with a decent number of MPs in the Commons, more than the Lib Dems and Greens. But they won't. They will end with 0, cos Anderson is on course to get battered out of that seat, whilst some are suggesting the Libs will get 40. What type of political system is that? FPTP is a lovely principle, local communities electing local folk. But it doesn't work in practice, not at all.
Trouble with "normal, everyday people" is that, as with our current leaders, most are fools. In the words of one John Beverley, aka Sid Vicious, "I've met the man in the street, and he's a ****."
