The Perfect Element posted:So Rishis confirmed that the UK is maximising fossil fuel extraction and in general is gonna pursue an anti-eco agenda. It's all they've got left: they're clearly trying to maximise the turnout of the Tory electorate by pushing culture war issues that ramp up their enthusiasm to vote. It's still a long shot, but an angry, worked-up Conservative vote outperforming a demoralised and reluctant Labour vote is at least a semi-plausible path to victory at the next election and Labour's already doing their bit.

They don't even need to convert any new voters: if the Tories turn out on election day, while Labour voters go: "Eh, going to give it a miss this time", then the Tories win by default, regardless of how low the total turnout is.

How did they turn it around between the end of Thatcher (peak unpopular Tories) and winning the election with Major? Did they not lean heavily into 'culture wars' family values poo poo then as well?

I feel like by definition the more people living in a city the more livable it is, so I think China and India should be leading those metrics.

Thatcher got knifed in the back in the end a bit like Truss and Major kind of slipped in as a grey unknown quantity. Labour didn’t take him seriously enough and took their win for granted, much like now, and he beat Kinnock.

Guavanaut posted:"Poor people, eiu" It's a report where individual license for the overview costs $800 each and an individual license for full access to the data $11K, I somehow don't think they are the target audience. The bit they are giving away for free is just the abstract really.

The Economist Magazine repeatedly paying thousands to The Economist Intelligence Unit for their intelligence analysis sounds more like the kind of tax avoidance scam that I would have come up with when I was 15.

Of course the funny thing is that Major was a big figure of fun throughout his leadership. Ridiculed in the press as a “grey man”, with a lot of sneering about his background, and his disastrous “Back to Basics” campaign but he still now remains the last Tory to have actually been elected with a governing majority and served a full term in office.

Plus he appreciated the prostate and is the only PM I can think of who had a remotely normal (if circus performer parents are normal) background. Let me be clear, I am not stanning for Major but his career progression should give hope to all weird nerds out there.

Lol Jeremy Vine discussing whether it's bad for rishi to fly on a private jet to Scotland rather than go on the train. Takes about 10 minutes for someone to phone in and quite rightly point out what if he needs to fire a nuke and the train WiFi isn't working? What then?
