Do you not rate Starmer over Johnson or Johnson’s likely successors? I don’t mean picking between Labour and Tory but just Starmer v Johnson on who you’d trust to make decisions in your best interest.

I wouldn't trust either of them to read out the weather forecast
 
Don’t agree. If the Smoke weed in bed all day **** ‘em Party lead by Sucky McFlange gets enough national votes to earn a seat, then they should have one.

<laugh>

I know who's getting my cross next time
 
Corbyn would have shook this system to it's core. He was fully committed to bringing the rich tax dodging, favours for the elite, old boys club to its knees

But gullible folk bought the line that he was the most dangerous man in politics, in a world that had Boris, Putin, Trump, Bolsonaro, Kim Jong un and their cronies.
On June 4th, 1963, President Kennedy signed Executive Order 11110. In short, it was an order for the Treasury to issue certificates backed by silver bullion, as well as to mint silver dollars that would be considered money. These silver certificates took the form of dollars for the most part, and the notes would say that whatever the denomination on the bill was, it would be repaid in silver “to the bearer on demand.” Simply put: if you had $1, it was worth $1 in silver.

Unfortunately, the executive order didn’t stand the test of time. That November, President Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas

I don't disagree. But that depends on the PR system under which the party received the votes to gain the seat. The number of seats would be porportionate to the number of votes. My post earlier was about having a minimum threshold before being able to have a seat. This is where Israel for example fcked up when they set up their minimum threshold which has created instability for decades.

Instability requires cooperation to form a Govt, and then create policy. I think that’d be a great thing, as we’d get less central Govt, as they’d never be able to agree on most ****, so we’d lose the 5 yr political football **** we have now.

I'm all for that sort of pragmatism, thrash it out until you get something that works.

Not tired old party pledges and kicking the can

When they formed a coalition with the Tories, didn't they break some promise to the students - tbh can't remember what it was all about now, might have been student fees?

I just googled it...

Yes its was

They were never going to be able to deliver it tho, Corbyn promised the same thing and when questioned about it after the Election he seemed confused about wether he actually promised or where the funding would have come from

All lying bastards

Central Govt should be responsible for defence and making ****s pay their ****ing dues - all of them.

Beyond that, most issues are ultimately local imo. If our local schools are falling down we shouldn’t have to wait for central Govt to recognise it, we should be able to allocate our share of the tax pot locally. I’m sick to the back teeth of centralised ****e and issues being used as political footballs, give the power back to regions to make their own decisions.

Yeah I think it was student fees

One of the compromises to share power, demanded by guess who.. <laugh>

Anyway, in terms of tactical voting that can work, as N Shrop shows.

and at the moment it's a numbers game in our first past the post system.

That Tory / Lib Dem coalition was **** btw

Funny how I remembered that from 10 years ago, maybe it was relevant at the time to my family. I also remember them being remain. So broken promises and decisions which were against my own personal best interests. I accept though we could say that about every party. I just think those two either were or are quite biggies to me.
