Otoh theyr making a good go of loving it, otoh always bet on what would most own the UK left It's Kier Starmer wafting into power. Doing labour authoritarianism 2.0 and handing the still declining country back to the tories 10 years later but now with negative hour contracts and bomb collars asbos

Keith won't win two elections and whoever replaces him will be equally terrible and unpopular so it'll be back to Tories after 5 at most.

why did they switch to elections after 5 years seems to undermine the government if a lame duck parliament is on power for so long

i'm dubious about starmer winning one election, but he might do it thanks to tory voters staying home because they can't stand to vote for someone who isn't white

The thing is if he wins one election the tories are likely gonna fall apart so loving fast coz the tories big strength is they hold together unusually tightly in power but they go insane in opposition coz being in government makes you feel good but almost all of them could have better jobs than opposition mp

Deflating the public's expectations and then only just winning in a very close run thing; is perfect for them. They then get to say they don't have the mandate to do anything radical like fix something, or even do anything, anything at all. That's their dream.

it's amazing that labour is actively losing the next election after all that's happened with Brexit. if I were in the uk (lol) there's no loving way I'd vote for labour at this point. it's so bad it makes me think "drat, the dems look sorta competent in comparison", even though I know they aren't and are ratfucking us in different but similar ways

They're ahead in the polls but A) they're actively destroying their lead by abandoning all policies a few weeks after announcing them so no one knows what they want to do or trusts them B) Sunak is completely invisible which is helping the Tories as people feel okay saying they're a Tory again C) Without Scotland it's really hard for them to get a majority unless loads of odd seats in England go to them It seems like they'll end up in a minority government position which is possibly the best likely outcome but means more chaos.

You can just build a giant massive wooden structure out in the open, and coat the outside of it so it'll last for hundreds of years. No need to actually bury anything.
