In this video we explore Burnham’s promise to implement a more representative electoral system in the UK but will he actually succeed where countless other governments have failed – and actually change the voting system?

Nigel Farage said Andy Burnham’s comments about potentially rejoining the EU had given him “the biggest boost in [his] career”. We look at why — even if it seems counter-intuitive — another Brexit debate could actually hurt Farage.

Before the Brexit referendum, a whole bunch of MPs explained to Britain how the economy would collapse post-Brexit. While Brexit hasn’t yet happened, some did say that the destruction would take place immediately after the vote; which didn’t exactly happen as expected. So in this video, we explain what’s happened and why the economy hasn’t done too badly in the end.

It's quite amusing really. In the UK you can make a complete and utter mess of a country economically, but so long as you keep taxes low, you can stay in power forever. 🤣

January 5, 2024 at 9:57 am
Conservatives continuously act in their own and donor interests over public interests, are outted in sleaze and corruption scandals, make poor and damaging major choices for the country and yet voters still vote for them. Is it all for lower taxes?
Why do we accept such a low standard to manage our country? They work for us, and we should demand the best.

The currently anti-conservative "Conservative" party has a strategic electoral problem – one that is almost unique. In the short term the PM is (by far) more popular than any alternative. But in the long term he also is by far the most corrosive in terms of electoral support for the party. That suggests the 1922 Committee has a binary strategic choice. It can either push for an election ASAP and, assuming a working majority of "Conservative" MPs, ditch the PM afterwards (the conventional approach). Or it can ditch the PM now, find someone (a) halfway competent and (b) without too much blood on their hands (say Javid, or someone else altogether outside the current Cabinet); and then postpone any election for as long as constitutionally possible (crises help here) while the incoming PM sorts out the party and the executive's credibility vis a vis any crises. So in turn the answer might depend on whether it thinks the current crises are structural / cascading. If so, it'll have to go for the first option. If not (which I believe is likely to be the case, if only because the 1922 Committtee can't ALL be radical anti-conservatives! :)) then the second option may become compelling.

One thing is certain in my opinion and that is the Tories always manage to pull together and campaign successfully in the run up to an election. No money is spared and it has even been known for them to ditch their leader if they become an election liability!

Perhaps on a side issue – Afghanistan. From the perspective of me, as a Christian, the Taliban are evil and we should never have let them come back and indiscriminately murder and amputate people, suppress freedom for women and so forth.
Can we have a poll that confirms that all Christians are anti-Taliban and the work of the devil, please?
