But its fine because labour are going to get in and reverse all their policies right?! Right…?
The last 14 years brought back memories of what it was like interacting with and seeing what student political societies are like at universities when you give them some basic funding and the ability to raise funds. Dysfunctional or organised chaos at best, seedy spaffing of funds or infighting at worst, especially at election time.
Spending time on slogans and networking rather than anything beneficial outside of their clique and bubble is very much how this country has been run the last few years in particular. Image vs. policies and actions.
Hopefully that changes, but it’s unlikely and seems to be institutional – you only have to look at Parliament (specifically the Commons) to see it’s a mess. Jeering and cheap point scoring seems to be more important than meaningful debate, and when there is meaningful debate barely anyone is in the chamber.
I’d agree. Mr Cameron for asking the Brexit question and Mr Johnson for being so unbelievably awful I don’t even have words to describe him.
I don’t know if its because the Information Age has made them more visible but it feels like this is at least partly because they are the dumbest group of people to ever form a government.
Even an expensive education has trouble masking how monumentally stupid most of them are to the point that if they hadn’t been in the MP pipeline they would struggle to operate the Ice Cream machine at McDonalds.
Don’t worry, they’ll top it next time they’re in power.
It didn’t need a study by anyone to come up with that revelation, it’s fucking obvious!
In domestic policy terms yes, but I always feel uncomfortable ascribing ‘worst’ to these Prime Ministers given the foreign policy disasters of Eden and Blair.

They made you a moron, a potential H-Bomb
God save the Queen, she ain’t no human being
There is no future in England’s dreaming
Don’t be told what you want
Don’t be told what you need
There’s no future, no future, no future for you!

Since I’ve been alive, I feel like every party that has got into power has done the _opposite_ of the thing they’re supposed to be good at. The Tories gave us the biggest economic fuck up we’ve ever faced, Labour started a war in the Middle East, and Lib Dems fucked over students. At this point, it’s almost worth flipping a coin
God it is horrific to see them all lined up and think we are still standing after them.
Feels like 2012 was sunny uplands and we are deep in a treeless drizzle
The disrespect shown to the UK and its allies at the DDay anniversary ceremony is the icing on the cake . When your entire ideology is all about me instead of any higher ideal you’ll end up as gauche as Sunak and company
Austerity. Brexit. Johnson. Truss.
Beat that, labour.
Are you telling me there was a “worse” government pre-war?
