The last coalition government was disappointing but it was far and away better than the governments that followed.
Westminster Politics
- Thread starter altodevil
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Yes but that's not saying anything, they achieved very very little and the Lib Dems were unable to water down Tory ideology. Very much window dressing, all it did was put Lib Dems back about forty years.
In reality it laid the ground for the subsequent governments rather than hindering them.
That is the whole idea of representative democracy. If I actively choose to vote for someone who goes out and say "Israel has the right to commit collective punishments" I am complicit in their crimes. Because I chose actively. You chose what you think is closer to your values. Otherwise, cancel all other parties and it will only become a farce of a democratic process just like the American one, a bipartisan BS.

This is incredible
How are you complicit? Perhaps if you vote and the status quo support stays in, you're complicit too?

I don't agree it didn't achieve anything. The Lib Dems were dreadfully inept and naïve but actually their policy (that the Tories later claimed as their own) of raising the tax free threshold was very good for the economy and probably largely responsible for the trickle of growth that the Tories presided over. We're back to freezing tax free thresholds now and you can see the results. The Lib Dems being completely outmanoeuvred politically isn't proof that coalitions can't work.
Cue Tory party split.
only if braverman is sanctioned. seems like most of the tory Mps cant stand anderson. he is a northern oik after all.
Miniscule of a backbone from sajid. Who'd have thunk it.
Was fine when boris was spouting islamophobia though.

That half million from Reform starting to look really attractive to 30p Lee now.
If that's how everyone voted, here's what Labour should do with asylum seekers and people considered illegal immigrants: send them to Ghana. This would be a way to compete with the Rwanda asylum plan, with Ghana being a bit closer to UK than Rwanda is, with a safer and easier way to travel to, and Ghana being a wealthier and safer country than Rwanda.
This way Labour would compete with the anti-immigration policy of the Tories, picking up votes from people who are very against asylum seekers but think the Rwanda plan is a bit much, while everyone who recognizes that this is insane would also vote Labour because the Ghana asylum plan is marginally better for them than the Rwanda asylum plan is.

Wow. I wonder how?
I guess the government who has been running the country for the last 14 years is not to blame.
If only she had been in charge of domestic affairs and could have done something about this threat.
What is an Islamist?
She's a very dangerous woman.
She's a very dangerous woman.
Don't you know she got kicked out by the elites for being too honest and capable?
Hideous inside and out.
This sort of rhetoric needs to be stamped out the same way the Jews control everything narrative.
Just goes to show how widely accepted Islamaphobia is.
My sister in Christ, you're one of the people who runs the country
The Torys are in charge of Britain and have been for 14 years. Guess they are all Islamist then.
Never thought anyone would top Theresa May for awkwardness, but Truss loves a challenge.
It became glaringly obvious when the police all started arming themselves with muslamic ray guns.
What exactly does she mean by 'islamist' ?
She means anyone who protest the war in Gaza, regardless if they are muslims or non muslims.
"Pork markets"
Best thing is the CPAC strap line. "Where globalism goes to die" as they fly in global politicians and speakers.
Take home pay calculator says he gets over £6k a month
Any and all Muslims
Quite the shot when she looked confused and then awkwardly walks off stage while that strapline came into focus
Typical tory pauper. Just needs cancel his Netflix subscription and he'll be alright.
This country man.
Not much really
