  1. After what’s happening in France, glad some country is countering the rise of fascism again in Europe

    They won 63% of seats, more than doubling their previous result. The outgoing government only got 18%, significantly down from the 56% they got last election.

    It’s a huge long-overdue swing back to sanity.

    Now, if only the electors could elect Biden in November and the world may not be completely f’ed.

    Around 4 months left until elections, many things can happen until then, but I hope there is a chance

    Putin won’t like that. Rishi wasn’t all that friendly to him, but wow, the left wing don’t like genocidal maniacs nearly as much as the right wing does.

    The whole world is throwing out the incumbents. The UK just happened to have conservative incumbents.

    Starmer’s Labour is never Centre left. Centrist maybe but they are not left wing.

    Center left depends on your position. They are nothing but centrists who will pander to the worst people in society, once again. We need an actual move to the left, not this nonsense.

  8. I thought before heading off to prison Bannon was celebrating how the world was embracing MAGA movement, Trumpism, populism and the move to the hard right Victor Orban style…😕

    I hope this means they can reverse the damage done to the NHS and actually improve upon it in our lifetimes.

    Centre Left claim is a hard sell. On policy they’re centre right even by UK standards. Even the Lib Dems were more left wing this election

    My favorite part was how Labour took back George Galloway’s seat, meaning that the Tankies for Hamas party no longer blights Parliament.

    To be fair our right wingers really screwed the pooch over many years to get us to this point. Even then some dumdums felt the answer was to go even further to the right and vote for Trump’s little political anal clingon Farage and his merry bunch of grifters and bigots, Reform (which interestingly (and probably not coincidentally) is the name of Trump’s efforts to inset his ickle rapey fingers into American politics back in 2000)
