  • Exactly. There’s a definite pattern here. Cameron pandered to the cunts in his party in 2010-16, opening the door to populist cunts like Nigel, and Starmer is now pandering to the cunts in his party, opening the door to populist cunts like George. In both circumstances, the normal people (moderate Tories, tender leftists) are completely disenfranchised, and the party ends up irrevocably split. I know history repeats, but usually there’s at least a short period where we learn from it first…
    And we’re left, once again, with nobody to view for. So many people will hit the elect button, and chaos will ensue. The system needs a reset.


  • This proves that you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.

    Wrong. 1) The Labour party do intend further privatisation and 2) the current creeping privatisation has been directly attributed, time and again, to worsening outcomes. A third point would be that capitalism and healthcare fundamentally do not mix, as one relies on quantitative feedback and metrics, while the other can only be measured subjectively.
    The NHS model is not that of European healthcare systems, and further privatisation under this model will cause damage.















  • I think you’re underestimating how fucked the Tories are in the next election. They’re going to get wiped out. If ever there was a time to vote your conscience, it’s this election because the Tories aren’t getting back in.
    IMO you should vote with whoever most closely aligned with your views in most cases anyway. This is definitely one of those cases. Labour have the centre on lock but have abandoned the left, so the results should show that. If everyone one the left votes Labour in fear then it seems like everything is hunky-dory when it’s absolutely not. The ideal realistic situation would be a hung parliament with a Labour largest party, opening the door for electoral reform debates. Preferably with a few parties (Greens, Binface etc.) with a decent percentage but no representation, which would further point out the need for reform, and also point out the lack of positive support for Labour.
