Yeah no shit. None of them have found a way to package the game where we don’t feel like losers. Contributing to corporate profits while having more and more rights stripped away, and watching our tax money go down the toilet or into someone else’s pocket.
Our infrastructure is absolutely fucked, they’ve isolated us from Europe so we can’t work there. Everything costs a fucking fortune, and the ‘dream’ is to pay the bank 3x what a house is worth over 40 years so you can die and they can sell THE SAME FUCKING HOUSE to someone else for 3x what it’s now worth (more).
We live in a clown world, but at least citizens of other countries get to enjoy a bit of sun, or a nice beach that hasn’t had thousands of tons of shit dumped on it.

Funny how that can happen when you have a) a large older demographic who will vote for right wing self interest always (don’t shoot the messenger) and b) a hideously unrepresented left leaning younger (basically anybody of working age not close to retirement) who haven’t won an election EVER until this Labour government – who are seemingly trying to emulate the tories to secure OAP votes.
To be clear I voted labour and think they’re significantly better than the alternative and are at least competent adults trying, but the lack of political will to address pensions social and health care for the elderly whilst burdening all the workers (not realising what this does to birth rates and exacerbates the problem) is quite frankly startling

Then it is time that we had no leader. No government. No rules. No law. That would be for the best.

Plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose.
I knew Starmer was going to be handed a very rough gig and that he was not going to be anything other than the new Blair. I did not expect him to be this bad though. It is hard to care when my entire adult life feels the same under every government. Nothing has changed for the better because of them, it just feels grey and disappointing. Services are worse, housing is prohibitively expensive, we are being put against one another by the media etc. While it is better here than many countries, the UK feels like it is stuck in an eternal December and has been since 2010.

The main problem facing this country is that political parties have become too polarized, leaning heavily to either the left or the right. If you call for tougher migration policies, you’re often branded as right-wing or even racist. Conversely, if you advocate for more liberties or support pro-migration policies, you’re labeled as left-wing or “woke.”
Instead of focusing on party lines, we should create ballots that allow people to vote directly on the issues that matter most to them-such as migration and other key topics. Our politics is becoming increasingly divisive, much like what we see in States, and this is splitting the public. It’s time to move beyond labels and let people have a direct say on important issues.

I’m glad when we had the chance to vote for a genuine, caring man in Corbyn not once but twice, we picked “evil bastards” twice.

We asked for this.
