Staying with the inlaws this week in Italy….father-in-law’s American so getting a bit more of an insight into just how serious Americans take their elections, quite incomparable to the uk

I wish we’d taken ours a bit more seriously.

If anyone took elections seriously, there wouldn’t be elections.

Erm, I think I missed that lesson in school.

 

What's that sort of political system called again?

[sime42]

The Trumpian System? Maybe, pending the outcome of the big day next week.

Doubtful, I'd read up on how the founding fathers wanted to run things when it was created.

 

I'm sure you're loving Kim Jong Starmer, I'm sure the picture of thatcher he removed was replaced by a lovely portrait of Cromwell.

 

The new poster boy for bread and gruel.

Brilliant Dave!

 

I think the problem we had was that the slimy ‘How rich can we make ourselves and our cronies’ Tories had to go, but none of us wanted Labour either.

Just imagine the same budget delivered by the red headed Rayner.

Well maybe there’s a lot of truth in that, it’s funny how the astronomical covid legacy bill ain’t ever mentioned by those who clamoured for it within Labour and the price hikes caused by the war in Ukraine etc

Anyway we are where we are, I’m actually suprised that people expected anything better. Those of us who remember the last Labour liars that held power know how the Blair, Campbell, Mandleson etc characters behaved and the legacy they left behind. If Starmer manages to get through his term without taking us to war, assisting in destabilising a whole region and having the blood of thousands on his hands he will have done better than the previous Labour government. The fact he will leave us in more debt and generally in a  far worse state is a historical labour government given.
