I don’t know, I just want our country run for the benefit of the people, not to further the careers or bulk the wealth of those in power which has been the case all my life. I’m just thinking now of my grandchildren and other peoples grandchildren.

It's definitely when he goes, not if then.

Maybe they should call a snap election. There's no way Reform can get a coherent manifesto together in 6 weeks. Farage has already admitted they have little/no experience of governing. If Reform do get in, the sooner they fuck it up and we get rid of him and his grifters for good. Tories are dead too.

I wouldn't imagine anyone would get in on their own, it would be interesting to see if not have to live through it which coalition/coalitions would be in place

Don't we live in a democracy? What is stopping people from voting for change in an election? If that fails then why can't they just accept that this clearly isn't the view of most people?

There's a reason why they attack our institutions, police and judiciary whilst claiming they're fighting for democracy and law. There's a reason why they speak freely despite the irony of their claim that they can't speak freely.

What they want isn't democracy or an ordered change implemented as government. They really want a violent insurrection or authoritarian boot which acts beyond the rule of law to attack minorities, impose their misinformed version of British eugenics and eliminate any opposition or people they hate. Western Europe has seen this before.....

I absolutely disagree with that. Our so called democracy has ended up with a Goverment not representative of the majority. Very poor turnout, the silent majority withheld their vote.

I agree with a lot of that but to claim we live in a democracy and somehow our govt represent most people is truly hilarious, I mean so funny it must be a wind up.
I think this lot got around 19% of the eligible vote or a third of those voting. The previous lot got more but certainly not most people or anything to brag about.

Their little minority demographic was slightly bigger than others little minority demographic.

It is a tricky one though. Ultimately, anyone that went to that rally has feelings emotive enough that they were willing to support the likes of Tommy Robinson and those at the speeches cheered the sentiments of Musk. I’m not sure how people aren't going to be judgmental about that.

It really is a different world now.

Democracy can mean lots of things. Take unions for example. There has to be a minimum turnout for a vote to be legal-why? Democracy also includes CHOOSING not to vote be it in a GE or for a strike. Unfortunately 13 million chose not to vote in 2016 and all the signs are they were 2:1 in favour of remaining, so there was unlikely a "real" majority to leave either. That's water under the bridge now, but goes to highlight that democracy can mean whole load of different things.

FPTP works for a 2, maybe, 3 main party system, but with such fragmentation it's probably seen its' day.

It would be a point but I did quote just those who voted as well, if you get 32% you dont represent the majority, nowhere near and that's before we talk about individual.policies.

The poster claimed we have a democratic process and if you dont vote for the winner then your view can't represent the majority of the people indicating the winning party does. This just isn't true, not at all. We are a very splintered country, probably the most divided we have ever been.

Don’t worry mate, in approx four years you will get a chance to replace them. Democracy and all that.

I’m more concerned with my vote for them just over 12 months ago and expecting much more from them rather than what we are getting, more of the same.

I agree people are concerned but think Farage et al have stoked the fire on this deliberately to cause division. Legal migration is in the gift of Governments to control and apparently these numbers have been reduced.

Boat crossings imo, will never stop irrespective of who resides in no10, so Governments are imo always behind the curve in dealing with those landing on our shores.

I might be wrong but though yesterday’s protest was purely aimed at boat migrants, fuelled by Tommy 2 names, musk et al advocating for violence.

If the government cow tail to these thugs, then I believe that is a slippery slope we don’t want to go down.

There were at least 150,000 people who turned up though mate and it's the characterization of all of them as thugs, which only amplifies their indignation. If we want a harmonious society, it's entirely the wrong approach.

And the small boats problem is easily remedied by any government with the will to do so.

Do you advocate putting asylum seekers on channel tunnel trains, that would stop the boats overnight?
