@ChrisMayLA6 Its not just the : and the will behave exactly the same way if they get in. The reason is that 65% of the population are homeowners, so any policy that benefits first time buyers at the cost of homeowners will be a net vote loser. So no government is going to do that.

Obviously the century of house price inflation we have seen can't continue indefintely, but if govts can postpone the collapse until after the next General Election they will.

I moved to the UK a few months ago.

As far as I can tell there's the conservatives, the Labour Party (currently run as an anti-progressive operation) and the Liberal Democrats.

The reason there are TWO parties that are not conservatives is so that the conservatives always win.

The reason Labour has become anti-progressive is because it is feared they might win.

For anyone interested in this kind of thing and hasn't seen John Curtice's prediction on the results, based on a representative swing at a General Election, it will leave Labour 14 short of a majority on 312. Conservatives 86 behind on 226, and Liberal Democrats on 40.

Genuinely thinking that it's worth exploring Mastodon again given the news of Twitter deciding to screw over free users once again.

So, follow me if you like:











I tend to post random thoughts on any or all of these. As an example, here's a picture of a lemur:

The Liberal Democrats need a new Leader with more Charisma to collapse the renainder of Tory polling percentage.

9 % to 24% respectively.

Someone who will overcome the Tuition fees trope and point out that George Osborne and Stephen Hammond were the Austerity Chancellors and that Austerity actually got worse since 2015.

Someone who will point to the Wind power success 2010 to 2015
