Meh…. I hope it does last a lifetime. The country and voters deserve a 100 years of Tory rule.
The fact a lot of people are actively wish Boris Johnson back makes me think good, we deserve it. I’m not talking about Tory voters either, I’m talking about the people who can’t be arsed to spend 5 minutes to vote,
The UK political system is badly in need of reform.
It’s too unstable.
There’s no line of succession. There’s no direct election of a PM – maybe a President is actually needed, with separation of powers.
FPTP leads to extremism and polarization. It also needs to finally go.
If everyone in England just met up at the Dover cliffs and jumped off all together, the Island could be back to being peaceful and scenic for the Scottish and the Welsh by tomorrow.
This situation is very solvable if you simply insert a rule that says you must have a general election if you end up with 2 PM’s resigning in a term and bring back the rule allowing a general election if 2/3’s of Parliament vote for it. A stable government with a majority is unlikely to trigger either of these, so it’s not unreasonable or a cause of future instability.
This situation with the Tories is insane though, and the fact that there appears to be no obvious mechanism to get them to call an election is just plain wrong.
“Facing” is a weird term. I think most people were aware that a generation was going to have to cut back on things that the one before took for granted (Housing, Pensions, Children, Transport). The future is that there will be a lot of lonely, isolated wage slaves with about the same means to feel joy as a hammer does. The last couple of weeks have just been more shit on the pile.
One thing we desperately need is for the media to be much more impartial and for media barons to not have the sort of access and connections to MPs that they currently do. It is going to be impossible to maintain any sort of democracy when you have media empires dedicated to tearing down the other side and acting as if their side could do no wrong. The idea of ‘It was The Sun what won it’ needs to die.
Eh. We can solve this by having a general election and voting in Starmer as PM. Honestly I think the UK is going to be fine, as soon as we kick the stupid bastards out and put in a real government.
Lizz Truss and Kwasi should held accountable in The Court of Law.
