The polls say it. The Tory governments we've had for the last 15 years were hated by many but had support from their own side. KS Labour doesn't have an own side. They're trying to woo right wing voters who will never like them, which alienates the left.

They have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert"

I wouldn't choose to describe it as "in the wake of the financial crisis" and that's not how I remember it. "During the coalition austerity drive" would be more like it

"The people I see spending money seem to be fine" is quite the take there

The dragging and then backpedalling and apologising was a milestone in this whole thing though

Can you imagine if that awful cunt you went to school with, who you remember being nothing but a sneering, gleefully malicious awful cunt, managed to become famous and influential and potentially prime minister by continuing to be the same awful cunt the whole time? I would lose my mind

Very serious and sensible to accept that reality is economics, and dismiss all these silly loony lefty hippy types for spreading such obvious nonsense as "growth can't continue indefinitely" or "environmental damage is making the planet uninhabitable"

I would love to think this will backfire, and that boosting his own posts in the algo shifts opinions against Elno by exposing the whole platform to his cringey ageing edgelord shitbreather garbage. Please.

I'm not Christian but even I can see that this is the kind of perversion of Christian values that would reserve you a place in hell

It looks that way yeah. Thatcher made a conscious decision to vastly increase the number of homeowners and ever since they've been the most courted bloc

Lmao, yeah ok they're pursuing all the most popular policies, that's why Thames water is still a private company and a going concern. Idk where you got that from

People vote for representatives at least in part based on that representative saying they have a plan for what to do with power. Do you see a manifesto release in the press and just think "well that's a waste of time, why are they bothering?"

Your refusal to accept that politicians and parties campaign on their stated plans for the future, people vote for them on that basis and expect those plans to at least in some measure be carried out is bizarre.

It's not the voting that compels people to carry out immoral acts, wtf are you even on about? Nor does it absolve anyone of anything, as I said above it creates tension between obligations and personal ethics.

Your proposal to deal with the problem of majority support for policies you deem immoral appears to be to do away with democracy. Which I don't think would solve anything, the ignored majority would get gradually more riled until there was unrest or civil war

...in that their personal ethical conclusions compel them to obstruct the action. You see this happening a lot if you read the news and see coverage of protests or civil disobedience. It's a feature of democracy.
