Ironically Starmer should be thanking Nigel Farage for his overwhelming victory. George is right. Corbyn in 2019 won more votes than Starmer did in 2024. Corbyn had 40+% of the vote in 2019 and LOST, while Starmer had barely 34% and won 411 seats and 170 majority. Reform won the election for Starmer, by depriving the Tories of a large chunk of their votes, enabling Labour to pull ahead. Farage has now declared he will go after Labour. Reform is in second place in a lot of red wall 🧱 seats. If Starmer fails to deliver, then Reform will be in a VERY strong position next time round. For anybody who thinks that Farage is an unimaginable joke prospect for PM, I have two words : Liz Truss.

Labour are now relying on their bedrock of supporters. Those who would vote Labour no matter what. If you have voted Labour all your life, you're one of the politically ignorant, and unable to change. I have known many of these people and most don't even really know what they're voting for. In Scotland, Wales and England. There's also the fact that the Tories have been importing millions of new pro immigration Labour supporters.

Unfortunately, rather than fixing what is wrong they will probably just make voting compulsory. At the moment I don't think they are bothered. I'm sure Starmer is loving his 'landslide' win and they seem to have no problem with the fact that they won with less votes this time than they had in 2019 which they say was Labour's worst defeat because it was under Corbyn. It is funny that suddenly the people shouting for PR are the parties that have always been against it in the past

People have a right to abstain. If you don't have any confidence in any of the party options presented to you then you should not vote. Tactical voting is exactly what has created the two party state and such behaviour ultimately entropies to a two party state. This is why lib Dems and reform have gained so much traction, because they present the third "popular" option. Then a new paradigm arises. Until voters can make educated decisions and vote based on researching a party with leadership they can confide in, then I will not vote. Democracy as we have it today is not democracy, if anything a pantomime, or a disorganised rabble. Much a bastardisation of the original Athenian concept. I would have more confidence in a more elitist system, say only being allowed to vote if you can research a topic and write a single page about it would be a start. Then again the human factor always means civilised societies never work as intended. But until we stop playing children's games I won't take part in it

You missed the point. No one is saying you shouldn't have secure borders, but when you overinflate the blame game onto people without the power and deliberately ignore holding those in power to the fire to create cultural division, as Garage does, that is disgraceful. It's fascism. The reason there are so many issues in UK is because of austerity, not because of the people on the boats. The housing issue is due to government policy deliberately keeping stocks low (not investing in building houses) to inflate property prices through too much demand on a low resource. It's not the fault of immigrants. No GP/dentist appointments is through lack of government investment, not because there's "too many people". It's all rules by wall street. They have money for war, so it's utter horse that there's not enough money. It's a political decision not to invest so that there will be more demand for corporatization. That we've been hijacked by the USA is a bigger concern than what Garage bangs on about, but he's working for them, and it's easier to see brown people in Joe Blogg's everyday life than white men in suits F-ing up our lives from behind a computer screen.

Absolutely. The ballot box is secondary to Rupert Murdock and his cronies when it comes to choosing the government. When Laura Kuenssberg asked why the people can't be left to make up their mind, Ash Sarkar pointed out that that's not possible when the mainstream media constantly lie to the public. All information about the political choices comes through media, so not only is telling the truth important, but platforming, funding, lobbying and choice of content essential. I think it goes to prove that social media can have an impact against the oligarch owned press. I don't know if it's true, but I heard Nigel Farrage got more funding for Reform in his campaign than the Tories. It shows how well the Greens did on their limited funding, targeting 4 seats and winning all of them and coming 2nd in another 47 seats. I also noticed that Cruella was one of the few Tories to slightly increase her majority and that Reform did not put up a candidate in her constituency. Since this scheming, self serving politician has a history of cutting deals with an eye on her career and power then I smell a rotten deal in the pipeline.

No, it's liberalism which is nearly always anti worker. The old left fought very hard for workers and for them to be paid a fair wage which entitled them to the basics of life such as a little home, food, energy and healthcare. Liberals and progressives claim to care about workers, they don't. The neocons and neolibs serve the Oligharch class and play the 'divide and conquer' game to split the population with all their identity and culture wars. Neither care about ordinary people.

We need a PR system where people vote only on policies, not political parties. Then donors can't influence elections like they do. They also can't fund party campaigns like they do, and their advertising campaigns won't work. If you have a booklet to choose your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd preferred policies on each issue, then the party or candidates in your constituency will be elected based on those policies and not gutter press. The policies should be legally binding, not sound bits to propagandise people with.

@kriegfaust exactly. There was a website in 2015/2017 were you could vote on policies to find out who to vote for but wouldn't it make more sense that people just vote for policies and then the most popular party policies win? And if a policy from another party was more popular eg Nationisation of public services fully, the party with the most popular policies would be legally obligated to implement and work with the party who's policy it is as a cross party policy. That would be imo more representative and democratic as people would be directly voting on the policies themselves (a form of direct democracy) and not a person or political party based on propaganda or misinformation as the case currently is with many. It's like saying, "Would you like to continue spending £12,000 per minute on wars or invest that more in our public services" 🤔. The majority would support funding our public services and not spending that money on wars, which we have caused. People would vote for peace. If we did that our economy would grow and inflation would reduce as we'd be investing in the country and not funneling money out of our economy. Same with housing.

We can't trust the government to do that, or BBC, etc. So we need something to help inform people of Government policies, geopolitical policies, international agreements, international law, official statements, interviews given on policies (Russia/Ukraine would be a good example on the lies being told and the provocations over the last 30+ year's leading up to current day events). We need grassroots campaigns, media platforms (Rumble, KZbin, Website) utilising all our independent journalists, and investigating journalists (declassified, Double Down, Moats, Morning Star,etc) and social media platforms. Governments and some political party's try to create consent and sow division. We need to have a system or platform to stop that asap. We're stronger united than divided.

90% of social housing was sold off after Thatcher's right to buy at one third of market value. Most then sold after the three year clause for quick profit and the houses went to private landlords, councils were not allowed to use the funds to build more social housing. There's your housing crisis right there, nothing to do with mass immigration. The dream of owning your own home is a fantasy, you will die but your house won't and it will become yet another mortgage for the banks to profit from. What's needed is social housing that's rent free after 30 years of living there to build back the communities that were destroyed after 'right to buy' because that's a major part of why 'right to buy' was initiated by the tories in the first place, to make the working class afraid to lose their homes so they buckle under bad management and don't take industrial action when their wages are cut year after year.
