I think you’ve taken things to an extreme to try and prove your point. If you’re happy with buying cheap, poor quality products from China [made by children and people in Uigher concentration camps) and reducing our manufacturing with its knock on detrimental effects to our economy, health, communities etc then yeah I’ll strive towards achieving an ‘ideal world’ because globalism has hugely contributed to the shïtshow we find ourselves in. | | | |

It's an impossible dream
How on earth and where would he even start to begin this revolution
I have never bought of Teemu and the like but millions do
He needs to somehow challenge that first before bringing all his ideas in.
Didn't say I was against this in theory
But sadly it's a cloud cuckoo land that today is simply not attainable but nice video and decent ideas but impossible today.
The world is too far down another tunnel
The Internet has changed the way world problems are.
This video is only possible if Bobby Ewing comes out of the shower after having experienced a fifty years long nightmare in his sleep
Think you get my point
Back in the real world and QPR win the championship by 20 points next season !!!! [Post edited 23 May 18:47]

It ends here PunteR
As I have had a cunning plan
Think the next leader of our aforesaid nation is clear.
There can only be one solution to the problems of Britain and there is clearly only one man that can fit the job and sort out our many concerns
His name is......
Cifuentes
Marti Cifuentes
The future is bright
The future is Marti .... | |

It took the last 14 years or so to unpick the sh1tshow of the labour years before that. Would rather cut my arms and legs off than vote labour. | | | |

This stuff about military spending is b**locks spread by the military industrial complex. We are an island. We have nuclear weapons on submarines patrolling our borders. We don't need an army. Make it clear that if anyone even attempts to attack us we will immediately nuke their country. Job done. Armies are not the answer and never will be. [Post edited 23 May 21:21]

I'd say Britain is a right of centre country. Certainly the past 45 years.
Thatcher, Major, Blair, Cameron and then the last 4 or 5 I can't remember.
No real left wingers, no extreme right. We are a fairly conservative country, with a small c, and that is not a bad thing.
We don't get dictators with silly outfits (Hitler, Mousilini), no far right (hello Hungary), no far left (er Soviet Union).
We are pretty boring and stable.
And for that we should be thankful. As for me, I'll not be voting for the first time since 97. I can't be bothered. | | | |

The forever cycle….. each party blaming the previous for years of mess to clean up.
Would be nice if any government acted in a way they never left a mess to have to clean up.
They’re like children, but worse, so much worse because they should actually act like adults. Some of the petty squabbling we see on tv in the HoC is embarrassing and they all giggle like it’s a game.
I’m not laughing.
I think most governments are like any company….. on the whole most of the staff are ok but it the few cnts who end up at the top. | | | |

I'd ordinarily vote Lib Dems but I literally couldn't name one of them, including the leader, and have no idea what they stand for or what their policies are.
The Greens are just mental. In theory I agree with saving the planet but they pull in a lot of nonsense with it.
Tories - lying c*nts. I blame them for the disaster of Brexit.
Labour - can't forgive them after walking us into an illegal war.
Reform - all right wingers are grifters trying to sell you shit. | |

Indeed. Power is everything to them, not the long term good of the country and its people.
Really, the opposing sides should be able to agree on maybe 80% of things and the remainder would be the battle ground. But no, oppose absolutely every idea the other side has because winning, not the greater good, is everything. | | | |

Thing I learnt today
It's less than 100 years since all adults (originally over-21s) got the vote in 1928
In all that time there have been only two elections (arguably one) where a government with a working majority (i.e. enough to stop a couple of MPs rebelling stop a bill) has been replaced by a different party also with a working majority.
Only 8 times has a new party got into No 10 - the Tories were already there in 1929 and stayed there until 1945 (Lab), then it goes 1951 (Con) 1964 (Lab) 1970 (Con) 1974 (Lab) 1979 (Con) 1997 (Lab) 2010 (Con).
Out of the changes, in 1979 and 1997 Callaghan and Major respectively had already lost their majority through by-elections before the General. On the other hand in 1964 Labour only won a majority of four, in Feb 1974 and 2010 Lab and Con respectively didn't even get a majority at all.
In 1951 Labour went in with a majority of only 5 and the Tories came out with a majority of only 17 (and actually got less votes than Labour.)
Then you've got 1945 when a big Tory majority got replaced by a big Labour one, but arguably that doesn't count because Labour was in the war govt.
The only unarguable change was 1970 when Wilson's majority of 98 was replaced by Heath's majority of 30 (including the Ulster Unionists who counted as Tory for the last time.) | | | |

Whatever Blair did (good and bad ) he was not Labour but New Labour .
Baz and others here have told me he was a red Tory .
Thatcher described Blair and New Labour as her biggest achievment while he described her as a "towering political figure" | | | |

He was not Labour, he was a puppet. Just like Biden and many many others.
WEF, BlackRock, etc..... All own you. We're being manipulated in a way never seen before.
There, that's my political view. | |

And just to complicate the lack of options even more with the tragedy that is the conservatives currently and the intransigence of Starmer you have the Liberal Party.
Leader is Mr Ed Davy who was the post office minister for a great majority of the years that the post office horizon scandal was occurring
Good God !!!
