General Politics Thread

I wonder what's going to happen with companies like amigo in America since there's plans for a Economic black out plus the risk of the taking orange going for the Constitution no freedom of speech = no hollywood or manga/anime.

I voted Labour at the last election and while I am prepared to give them time to attempt to improve things, I have my doubts now considering some of the rhetoric that has come out from them about disabled people, those with mental health issues, and among other things. They are really moving like red Tories in a lot of ways.

They certainly are, and they've been moving like this for years now. Today I read something about about Reeves holding a meeting with execs from JP Morgan, Blackrock, Goldman Sachs etc, in order to look for fresh ideas on how to create growth. This is the level they're on. This is who they are and what they're all about. I honestly think there is a 0% chance they will succeed in improving the lives of ordinary people. I don't even think they even care all that much, they'll enjoy their generous ministerial salaries and backhanders and then they'll swan off and get paid even more to host dinner parties and write memoirs. But they will happily throw the disabled, the sick, the unemployed, and certainly immigrants under the bus first.

This is why the centre can't connect with everyday voters (and I personally wouldn't class any of the parties you're talking about as meaningfully centre-left, apart from perhaps Corbyn's Labour if you're including them, but again a big part of their problem was that they had people like Starmer working against them from within), they are the parties of the super rich and they always have been. And since their interests are ultimately to protect their wealth they will side with the right in opposition to the left every single time (again just look at the example of Corbyn's Labour). If it was a choice between a solidly centre-left party and Reform, you already know whose side legacy media will take.

The prospect of a near future Reform gov is genuinely terrifying. It really does worry me the way things are going. The things that give me hope though is that I think if Trump's second term becomes seen as a failure (and I think this is more likely than not) that will really reflect badly on Reform. And I just hope that in general the British public have enough sense not to fall for Farage's lies. I remember being shocked at just how badly people fell for an obviously selfish buffoon like Johnson, but I really do hope that we're better as a country than to allow Farage into power.

Only 1 party being elected in 2029,and time for change, people complain about reform being "liars" and yet 2st promise labor made was "we will freeze council tax" and yet, April it's said to be goin up the most it's ever gone up (10%) I mean the hypocrisy is overwhelming😂for me time for change with the sleaze and liars of the tories and labor, for me, it's either Rupert Lowe or farage for next pm, maybe we will be able to heat our homes when they win instead of paying nonsense "green energy tax", as fools think the world is going to end and we are going to be burnt alive by 20oc sun in june
 
I really think trump is going to push things too far and their will be a major impetus to impeach him and that'll be the end of his "dynasty". Liberal left wing americans won't tolerate this kind of crap for very long.
