I’ve always hated the Conservatives. I grew up in the worst council estate in Europe in the 1980s and I saw firsthand what the poll tax and pit closures plus privatisation etc did to people I lived with and grew up around. It destroyed many of them. They have a core ideology which is inherently opposed to helping the most vulnerable and poorest in society and to help the wealthiest, at any cost. Why the working classes and poor vote for them I have no idea. They will never, ever change.

Nicola Sturgeon spoke as a true opposition leader. The Labour Party was set up by working people in order to help the working masses find political representation and also to enact policy changes that made life more liveable for the working masses. Now, the fact that the leadership are basically silent and only get a lead in the polls when we are in utter catastrophe-mode, rather than on the merit of their policies, is a sad testament to the fact that the Labour Party no longer represents what it was set up for. This is a part of the reason why Sturgeon and the SNP have become the actual opposition to Tory ideology in Scotland, why the SNP always win elections and why independence is now seen as necessary by many in order to build an alternative to the neoliberal consensus which prevails at Westminster, with the agreement of both major parties. This is what Starmer should be saying too, but when has he really said anything of substance? He spent more effort on purging the left out of his own party than he has in opposing the Tories. The Tories are obviously despicable and anybody that doesn't detest them either has an interest in their policies (i.e., they are a part of the capitalist class) or is just stupid.

It IS fascist. In 1933 the Reichstag burned and Mr Hitler blamed communists and told the people he'd keep them safe if they gave him emergency powers. 2020, the tories tell you there's a virus which you all believe. You all handed them emergency powers. You believed the numbers they made up. You believed the flu was dangerous. You gave up your freedom for safety. That is how fascism works. They make you fear then make you seek solace under them.

[@susany1590]

I think it's clear that regardless of Tories or Labour, the general public has just lost faith in the government and its system overall. Everyone wants something more middle ground and still have the kindness to think of and try to help the weakest in the group. Until we have a party that is like that, with actual real decent and honest politician, the country is fuck. Tories, Labour et al, if they are all a bunch of elites, privileged and never really know hardships and have the relevant experience to actually overcome it, it's just hopeless.

[@uttaradit2]

bollox the 'middle ground ' is far right, the tories neo con fascists ....1945 government for the people required.

[@salsabil44]

No I do not agree. ´Everyone´ does not want something more middle ground. If you mean to the left of what we have then you are correct, but what the Tories have done since Thatcher is shift the political spectrum to the right, so that now every mainstream party in the UK is now to the right of Ted Heath (who was considered right-wing in his day) and the centre has shifted accordingly.

[@CapiSocialist]

Would you be interested in supporting a growing public political party? The Breakthrough party is a new member led party, we’re just ordinary people with a set of basic principles who want to see the system favour the masses, not just the few, but this will only ever work with the unification of us all

[@salsabil44]

@@CapiSocialist I agree completely and thanks for the invitation. I´ve been saying for a long time the UK needs a ´People´s Party´, one that puts ordinary people first, ahead of the needs of the bankers; the millions before the millionaires. But unfortunately I no longer live in the UK, having left for a much better life in Germany 20 years ago - and wild horses wouldn´t drag me back! Scottish independence maybe...
