Another right-wing leader out?!

As I already mentioned:

Orbán in Hungary - out!
Vucic in Serbia - out!
Bolsonaro in Brazil - out!

Bibi in Israel and Trump in the U.S. aren't exactly ousted, but they've been cut off at the knees with power greatly diminished.

Now Peña in Paraguay!

Hope it continues!

I don’t want far right megalomaniacs but I don’t want far left megalomaniacs either.

Could you name a few far left megalomaniacs?

Peña is out but Paraguay remains deeply right wing and conservative. The conservative Colorado party is still in power and have been for most of the last 75 years. It's not a meaningful ideological shift or a left wing uprising. It was simply the party sacrificing the man at the top so they could survive. The new president is just as right wing as Peña.

As a genuine matter of interest, would you describe Xi of China as far left ?

He is far left by definition of course, being an actual Marxist. And yeah, he calls it socialism with Chinese Characteristics, but Marxism is right there in the PRC constitution.

I mentioned in your other thread, but Jay Bolsonaro lost power in 2023, so not a recent development.

Nicholas maduro, although he's recently lost power. In fact wasn't jezza a big fan of his at one point?

Obviously there are lots more far left meglamaniacs historically.

I'd just like sensible, competent politicians please which extreme views either way 🙂

Polanski did have a slim chance of forming a coalition government with Labour at the next General Election (granted he would not have been PM but would have gained power).

Until he fucked it by allowing the Zionism is Racism vote to go ahead on his watch. Now Labour have distanced themselves from the Green Party.

Far right leaders have also lost popularity in the UK (along with far left).

Kemi Badenoch’s Conservatives have overtaken Reform UK in the The Telegraph’s poll tracker for the first time in almost two years.

The tracker, which aggregates approved opinion polls, shows the Tories in second place behind Labour with 21.73 per cent, ahead of Reform on 21.66 per cent.

Regaining the lead over her rival Right-wing party is a significant boost to Mrs Badenoch’s fortunes as Tory leader, after a controversial few months for Mr Farage and his party.

It has been coming since September, when a single More in Common poll showed the Tories overtaking Reform.

The two parties have since jostled for position, but now the Conservatives have pulled ahead in all the approved polls that The Telegraph’s tracker compiles.

How would you vote in the next general election? (rounded to 1 decimal place)

This is never going to happen because the Tories won't win and most certainly neither will Reform.

Labour were never in distance touch of the Green Party. Never.

It's so sad that you keep peddling that. Reform is a far right Parliamentary Party.

Jezza has declared solidarity with the socialist regimes in Venezuela and Cuba according to this source, despite well-documented human rights abuses.

That the UK is in danger of a far left take over with Labour as the lead. It's never going to happen.

So you're 100% sure that Labour will win the next General election?

Don't know how you can be that sure about something that probably won't happen until 2028.

Oooooohhhhh Jeremy Corbyn! He's going to take over the World.

Only by consensus, though. He'll ask the world if it wants to be taken over, then organise a committee to decide how the world should be taken over. They'll take a vote who will run the committee but first they will need to take a vote on how best to take a vote after drawing up a constitution outlining the road map for the taking of votes. When the committee is eventually settled there will be a falling out over what the committee is to be called and who will make the tea.

Why is it? It could be 2028 or 2029. It could even be 2027 though I don't think so personally.
