A second chamber is useful as a house of review, giving bills more time and scrutiny beyond electoral pressures. It helps improve policy quality and long-term planning, though it can also slow decision-making.

Not surprising no health or foreign affairs spokesperson from a team that broke the NHS. Looks like they’ll just take orders from Trump’s White House.

Presidents can be voted out. And we don’t even need one an elected second chamber would work just fine.

In countries like the United Kingdom, the Royal Family is mostly symbolic, not politically powerful. Supporters see it as tradition and national identity, not a claim that some people are “better” by birth.
That said, it’s fair to question whether inherited status fits modern democratic values.

Fear around resources tends to cut across party lines. The bigger question is whether those claims are grounded in evidence or just politically useful messaging.

I think the food scarcity angle is definitely emotionally powerful, but I’m not sure it’s just about intelligence. Politicians often lean into themes that resonate strongly with voters, especially when people are already feeling economic pressure.

Same here. In Edge 145.0.3800.58, “Rewrite with Copilot (Alt+I)” just opens the popup and then does nothing. Looks like it might be a bug in this version.

Disagreeing is fine. Insults don’t help.
Attack the policies, not the people.
Strong feelings — but let’s keep it civil.
We can debate without name-calling.
