We can always complain, because our electoral system - much like the USA's - means that a minority of the electorate almost always decide the future of the whole country.

I doubt there's very many democracies where the majority of the electorate decide, but in the last US election, more people voted for Trump than Biden, and from the how it seems to be going in the UK there's likely to be as many if not more voting for Reform than Labour
Thankfully with Trump and Elon destroying America in the next 4 years there will be no risk of Nigel ever becoming PM.
The answer is pretty simple - the main political parties should actually stand for something and have real substantial differences in outlook. Secondly, they should be much more representative of public opinion on certain key issues. If not…other political parties and movements will emerge to fill the void.
Send anyone that votes Reform over to Australia.
And risk an angry @Wibble moderating you
Perfect! He can control them.
Yes. I asked for a good reason and the ICJ ruling isn’t one. They’re about as toothless as OFCOM and there’s a huge amount of these kind of obligations being ignored every day all around the world.
Nevertheless, quite how we managed not only to piss our pants and give them up anyway but then agree to pay, and then pay double the amount is staggering. We’ve managed to pay a country nearly as much as our own “financial black hole” to take the islands they sold back. And we haven’t even given it to the right fecking owners.
What would happen if we didn’t perform this act of desperate stupidity? Or kick the can down the road for a decade? Nothing.
You’re going to have to show the working on that.
The Reform base will be loving what’s going on in the US right now and, in fact, will be screaming for it to happen in the UK.
Stopping all foreign aid, cutting benefits, stopping support for the disabled, they’ll be salivating for a bit of that over here!
The show has only just began, let's wait for its conclusion in 4 years time.
