To be clear, I oppose Reform, the simplistic prattle about immigration is revolting (Immigrants didn't vote your country out of the biggest trading bloc, they didn't steal your Covid funds and they didn't drive wealth inequality through the roof). The UK desperately needs economic left along with moderate social right and no party is offering that. Everyone's just pointing fingers like kids at a playground.

In the UK its slightly different as the new government there only has to seek an audience with the King as Buckingham Palace and Number 10 are quite close by. Australia however, has compulsory voting whereas the UK its an optional voting system. Note to the Wise: Be aware of Nigel Farage. He will be a danger to the UK as Trump will be for the USA.

Starmer has said that he does not believe in God but believes in the power of faith to bring people together. He and his family occasionally attend a liberal synagogue, and he stated in a 2022 interview that his children are being brought up to know the Jewish faith and background of their maternal grandparents.

[@arturobandini4078]

None of this things require a belief in some god.

[@shuiwahlee5836]

Faith in what?🤔

He says: "if I am honest." Politicians would find it very difficult to be honest and sincere. This statement goes for both liberal and conservative branches of government.

@@marleycummins1675 And what interests does the UK pursue in the international arena? Without abstract concepts like the protection of democracy, freedom of speech and other things

[@marleycummins1675]

@@nitrohexane1160 ah, so you've now widened the goal post. UK interests are self defined, not for you to decide, so called "abstract concepts" are highly important and are often what separates us from countries such as Afghanistan. A less "abstract" interest would be the fostering of foreign relationships within NATO and the commonwealth, as well as the work the UK does when it comes to strategic advice, economic assistance, humanitarian aid etc. These are all important even when it comes to our flat economy. A more physical interest could be the UKs commitment to the Falkland islands or Gibraltar, it could also be the UKs commitment towards cooking the world's finest, most delicious and complex food; such as beans on toast. I may be wrong, this is mainly my opinion. Thanks :)
