As I said ‘unpalatable’ but it has to be done if you want to win. It’s not as tho the Left don’t do something similar. Harnessing envy after all is at the core of what they beleive.
If you’re not bothered, carry on as you are and lose but at least your virtuosity is intact and unchallenged🤷🏻♂️

Maybe ask why Starmer is doing it. Could it be it’s popular as much with Left leaning voters as any?
Until the Left work out how to harness this so called racism they will lose elections. See eg Trump and open borders
You’ve got 4 years to do it. Not impossible but probably unpalatable

It’s the same problem we have, a democratic dictatorship. Once there is a super majority in place the Govt can do as they please

We are not NATO nor is there the equivalent of an Article 5. The Commonwealth as an effective international pressure group was finished after the passing of the late Queen.

Yeh, let’s engage in a National immiseration campaign of pointless political gesturing to show ‘solidarity’ with a corrupt and venal association of nation states

But we’re not but are instead not affected by US tariffs because we withdrew from such a bloc

Extraordinary. Just read this thread and for people who left X because of its intolerance it’s quite an education in the hypocrisy of the Left. See also ‘kinder, gentler politics’

Aside from the ‘leaders …’ that’s about right

Probably not the best comparator as Australia is blessed,unlike the U.K.,with bountiful sunshine and therefore huge amounts, unlike the U.K., of abundant cheap solar energy. Indeed, if they covered only 10% of the interior with solar panels they could supply the World’s energy needs.
