So we shouldn’t be free to analyse or highlight the obvious shortcomings of the party that is likely to form the government for the next decade at least because you said so?
No. It’s important we talk about how shite they are. |

Yeah I’m still not sold on PR but the current system just ensures the two big parties keep dominance.
The Tories absolutely deserve to be wiped out they’ve been shambolic, but it’s strange that Labour are unwilling or unable to maximise the situation. |

Despite talk of a supermajority and Labour triumphantly sweeping in on a wave of votes on July 4th the latest yougov poll has them only sitting on 36% which is a whole 4% lower than the percentage Corbyn achieved in 2017.
https://yougov.co.uk/elections/uk/2024
If this poll is accurate it’s a quite pathetic performance from Starmer, Rayner et al. you would think or hope that they would be taking full advantage of the disarray in the Tory ranks and we’d be seeing a surge in Labour voting intention. But there seems little appetite to vote for Labour either. They’re losing support if anything.
It’s quite a sorry state of affairs all around to be honest. |

They have a turnout of 100% for elections in North Korea. Everyone is incredibly politically engaged. And Kim gets nearly every vote because of his strong domestic policies such as starving everyone to death and blowing people up with anti aircraft guns. |

They only look short term though. They don’t give a flying rats arse about what happens in the future. As long as they can stand there every three months and say “the economy grew by 0.1% this quarter aren’t we amazing?”
The one that fries my brain is the argument that we need to import millions as we have an aging population. We could bring in three million 30 year olds today but in four short decades time there’ll be three million extra 70 year olds and we’re back to square one. Just kicking the can down the road.
They are literally only driven by economic growth, nothing else matters. But then money doesn’t matter that much in the grand scheme of things. We’ll all be dead soon. They should prioritise living standards and happiness rather than putting every morsel of their being into chasing every penny they possibly can. |

I saw a big sign with her face on it that said “vote for change”.
Swansea East and Neath have had a Labour MP for over a century now so I’m not sure what sort of tangible change we’re going to see? |

Perhaps Sir Keir is a lover, not a fighter. His wife is absolutely gorgeous, he’s definitely punching above his weight in that regard despite being the most boring man in the world.
He has got money but maybe there’s another reason she’s sticking around.
“It’s this big”

The reason I asked that little history question is because in the leaders debate the morons from Plaid Cymru and the snp were banging on about “depopulation” as if it were a dirty word and it triggered a memory of a speech Sturgeon gave a few years ago where she said she wanted as many people as possible to come to Scotland because it was the only way to increase the population and grow the economy.
The answer by the way was The Black Death.
The fact there were suddenly a lot less workers meant that the employers had to compete for them or there’d be no work done at all so they had to offer them more money to stop them going to work for the guy up the road. Food prices also dropped because there was a surplus = less demand. Trade boomed. Feudalism was virtually destroyed completely.
Now I’m not for a minute advocating going out and slaughtering 50% of the European population but it’s an example from history of the clear benefits of depopulation and shows that this modern economically driven dogmatic obsession with growing populations as quickly as possible to grow the economy and everyone will benefit as the wealth will trickle down bollocks is having an adverse effect on people’s lives, living standards etc. |

My point exactly, it’s exploitative. The government and big business love the agencies and the mass immigration of unskilled labour though. It keeps wages at rock bottom and massages the employment figures whilst giving companies all the power over them.
Here’s a little history quiz for everyone:
Q) Which catastrophic event in human history led to the single greatest rise in wages and living standards globally, especially amongst the poorer people. What can we learn from this?
