Would also help them to use the very rarely used ‘Gary glitter’ defence in any defamation lawsuit (the claimant is of such low reputation it’s impossible to defame them)

I kind of wonder, given how much idiocy it has take to destroy the Conservative Party, if I have underestimated the extent of the idiocy the must have been involved in the destruction of the Liberals

definitely think that part of the reason why supermarkets gets so much criticism for profiteering is because their profit margins are relatively small. A company with larger profit margins wouldn’t need to put up prices every-time their costs go up, but supermarkets do have to

This bit made me laugh a little

Anyway democracy relies upon politicians and voters taking their roles seriously, something there is relatively little evidence of at this moment in history

I’ve listened to audio books work with more than one narrator/actor, but it’s when there’s different pov characters and there’s still only one narrator/actor per chapter

Do think there’s a big issue of a lot of regulation being done by people who look at one side of the balance sheet, and don’t seem to understand the costs of regulation (especially when the costs are not financial)

(And it was a pretty thin manifesto to begin with)

Tbf it’s hard to measure because a lot of the 2019-2024 parliamentary business is busywork created by leaving the EU, or Covid stuff but I feel like outside of that the primary legislative achievements of that parliament are pretty thin and plenty of the manifesto was not achieved

We’ve had back to back large majorities unable to meaningfully enact an agenda, especially when compared to the 2010-2015 government which was.

Fragmentation also seems a poor metric for how PR like a system is, given that for most of its history the Federal Republic of Germany has been dominated by 2 big tent parties
