This country is doomed

[HappyFace2025]

While the vote in Gorton and Denton may be described as a 'protest' vote the strength of both the Greens and Reform performance is something to worry all of us not just Labour.

Presumably you feel the same about all the posts about Kemi, Ange and Rachel from Accounts?

alright let’s just get a Trump in? I’m sure that will help the country. knock it off will you. Reformat a hateful divisive party

Well it is quite concerning. The greens are fucking crazy. And so are reform.

So…. 🫣

WHERE ARE THE NORMAL PEOPLE

There is a middle ground that most of us manage to find though.

“I like Greens, I like living in an ideological fantasy world!”

Well I do. I never refer to politicians that way on here. I would either use only the surname or the first name and surname.

The basics as I see it are that both labour and conservative have failed their core voters. Neither have delivered what the centre right or centre left want and have become a jumbled mess of who knows what. Neither party has any soul. I’m very much a god king and country type but the conservatives are no longer that. Equally if you are a traditional labour voter all you’ve seen is rich Islington elites pushing trans rights and free Palestine at the expense of what matters to you trying to make ends meet day to day. Both parties have completely lost their core values and voting base, and this is why there is the huge political shift happening in this country.

So, in steps reform and the Green Party. Reform’s tactics are pretty easy to understand - sell the Britain first message and restore national pride. This will appeal to huge numbers of voters who are tired of being called racist or nazi for being concerned about large scale unchecked immigration that has seen public services and traditional communities ripped apart. They were promised that Brexit would deliver control of our borders but in reality it has achieved nothing of the sort.

And then the Green’s. I can see the strategic playbook a mile off. Align yourself with Palestine and trans rights and attract vast swathes of voters to your cause. A home for the guardianista academic types who would have traditionally voted labour married uncomfortably to at the very least conservative Islam, if not radical, and of course the woke elements of the current culture wars. Clever really. Does this voting base care about deforestation or the plight of polar bears? Some might but who really cares, the greens are tired of having no seats in parliament and this is their opportunity given the void left by the traditional Labour Party. They are debating shortly on whether Zionism should be equated with racism, and in essence supporting a single Palestinian state which will eradicate Israel and align the Green Party with the stated goals of Hamas. This motion is being tabled by Lubna Speitan a member of various pro-Palestinian groups. This is the same Hamas lest we forget who raped and slaughtered women and babies amongst others on October 7th 2023. Make no mistake that this is antisemitism dressed up with blonde hair and a green jacket.

Support who you want but do it with your eyes open.

Yep - Reform seem really bitter at tactical voting but they just need to accept it and take the L on this.

Same but it’s an odd point to make when the use of first names is so common and widespread. Some people wouldn’t even know who you meant if you said Johnson, so ubiquitous has Boris become.

And which “anti-semitic policies” is Polanski shooting himself in the head with?

I have hardly posted in the last month, but if I am commenting it’s because of the laughable things you are writing that stick out like a sore thumb among other posts.

David Peckham, I so agree with your post!
The Greens have elected a leader who resonates with the younger voters by being personable ( Hannah Spencer seems like this too)
If it’s real or not , I don’t know , but it seems to have worked. I don’t agree with their policies, but for some politicians to have the gift of appearing to be your friend seems to work. For all his many faults , Boris Johnson had that gift ( as does Andy burnham)
Unfortunately it’s passed Sir Keir starmer by!

Keir Starmer has all the charm of a robot. Pre AI.

There is, but younger generations seem to be rejecting it.

There is a growing tendency to prioritise health, both physical and mental.

I guess I'm just left wondering if they have it at least partly right?

As I posted elsewhere Reform and the Greens are two sides of the same coin. Both are extremist parties now.

Well said 👏

The fact that you think the Greens are extremist shows that the left has been absolutely destroyed, Labour is just centrist now

Not quite sure why my comment has been posted numerous times!!!

Absolutely.

Yes, and the one we have now is amazing.

I dont get what you mean by that.

To me they are the same - like PP two sides of the same coin. Both utterly insane.

How is the greens got anything to do with the left?

Maybe you need to do some research and look at what progressive politics actually means.
