MODERATORS
Don’t y’all vote over there? Government isn’t us vs them. Government is us. Period.
We have been voting for greedy shits larping as conservative (Conservatives) and greedy shits larping as liberal (Labour).
and hanging over us are greedy shits who are pretty openly fascist (reform)
Up until basically after the last election this was essentially a two-party state. However much of a shitshow Labour is, the Tories were guaranteed to be much worse.
Also, there was a mind of unspoken assumption that human rights lawyer Keir Starmer would gradually move the party back to the left once in power, instead of spending 99% of his time trying to court the small minority of far-right voters who’d never vote Labour in a million years, which is what has actually happened.
And, unless there’s electoral reform in the next 3 years it looks like the actual far-right party will win the next election, because we’ve still got a system designed for a two-party stare in what is now really a 5-party state, meaning that Reform’s current 30% polling would see them with 100% control of the country, if the voting matched the polls.
