From the perspective of the US the nice thing about being on a sinking ship on fire is the UK is also sinking and on fire nearby from the same calamity so you can amuse yourself by making bets on the horse race of it.
It is like how if the Titanic sank next to another ship sinking from hitting an iceberg it would have made the experience a lot less depressing and lonely for the people on the Titanic.
Guys, do your own homework and stop copying ours.
Seriously, making us look normal is embarrassing.
The trouble with the Labour / Tory / Reform situation is that we only have the choice of either sliding towards fascism or goose-stepping towards it.
What’s the alternative? LibDems?
…or the Greens.
Honestly, though, I think the best way to curb it is through electoral reform.
Things go downhill fast when a single party is in charge. The Tory coalitions were bad, but not half as bad as when they had a majority.
Proportional Representation would make it harder for a single party to ruin things for everyone.
Burnham said this would be in the manifesto
Greens? I thought we didn’t want fascists in charge?
Well yes, if we’re heading to the right we might as well do it on a log flume.
Well see that is why the UK is fucked relative to the US, the US has a THIRD option of re-arranging deck chairs as we sink into fascism!
