When the priorities of an electorate aren't borne out by the priorities of a "strong government" they elect, it's not because their wildly skewed electoral systems are failing, but rather because they're working exactly as designed. Why give voters actual democracy when the mere feel of one will do?

These people have studied economics, they aren't mistaken, just lying. All this "an economy is like a household" dogshit is how we let austerity create this mess and they are signalling their full intent not to fix any of it.

The funny thing about Starmer's supposedly historic mandate to sit on his hands and entrench our managed decline is that going by ballot count Jeremy Corbyn won more votes in 2019

Oh mate it was so funny, the doc was trying so hard to break bad news to me gently and manage my expectations before telling me "we can probably only manage 20-30 sessions focusing on laying to rest the 6 worst things to ever happen to you and defying all of your low, low expectations of our system"
