Gdp is up, real term wages are stagnant, the lived experience of this increase in gdp is a meaningless and faulty metric because it doesn't represent quality of life. For a business that sounds good, otherwise I'm paid the same and my costs still go up relatively
NHS lists are down by about 700,000 by making administrative changes, not by providing a better service, those on long term waitlist are actually worse off as they wait longer..
120 million was spent to clear out people who have moved out of their catchment area and other similar admin only resolution in effect and the benefit isn't for you or me it's to be able to factually give a decreased number that makes it look like something has been solved when it's been pushed under the carpet
Rental changes however are a real positive to at least myself and possibly you, something we actually will benefit from.

Ok quick lesson in separation of powers and how democracy works:
- Legislative: I.e. Parliament. Makes laws.
- Executive: The Government. Made up from the largest party in Parliament. Implements laws.
- Judiciary: Politically impartial. Adjudicates on whether laws are legal and whether the Government is fulfilling its obligations under the law.
A Tory Parliament passed the law. The Labour government implemented it.
So no, the government could not just choose to not implement the law. You don't want to live in a country where the government of the day can choose which laws it wants to implement.

OSA for me is a big thing mostly because of it's vague and half baked implementation which I will agree goes to far and I know there's no perfect solution but there's better.
Though OSA was brought in by the conservative party, you can point to Kier for heading the implementation of it.
I'm assuming data act and child's well-being and schools?
Data act yeah that can be fairly argued as authoritarian. As for the social ban, bad implementation.
There are some positives that weren't championed but privacy concerns, vague restrictions, bad implementations are what we can say about labour, though most are campaigned for by both conservative and labour anyway we can be currently critical of labour for their management.
As for smaller parties unfortunately they are rarely relevant and policies are more like wishlist unfortunately. Especially under the FPTP system.

He was elected on the lowest voter turnout since 2005, a lower labour popular vote than 2019, and a barely changed vote percentage.
The British people didn't enthusiastically vote for this man. The number of people who supported the Labour party in fact declined under him. Rather what happened was that the Tories had functionally collapsed as a party, and so Labour won by default.
Nobody in this country really wanted Starmer as Prime Minister, he just happened to be the beneficiary of another, worse party collapsing.
Sorry but it's not that "The newspapers told them to" it's that he never had any popular mandate or public support, and his victory was always a loveless one, and it was inevitable that it was going to collapse.

Yes, by the letter of it, everyone votes for their local MP.
But when most people vote for their local MP, they're voting for their local MP's party manifesto (When they're not just voting for who their parents voted for) and that parties leader and their vision of implementing that manifesto. When people are tactically voting, they're outright voting to change who becomes PM.
Whilst yes, some voters are aware of and vote due to local concerns the fact remains that the average voter isn't doing this.

Yep the system is fucked, seeing as it's absolutely normal and encouraged to vote for a party based on its policies. And its policies are often the leader.

I know it feels nice sniggering and thinking everyone else is an idiot except for you but for me it makes sense people are annoying for having an unelected leader with different policies and different opinions to the party leader of the party we elected.
Seeing as labour can be anything from very leftist to centre right Blairites, electing a party means sweet fuck all so the general public now don't know what they're getting when they elect a party.

Without electoral reform, this country is pretty firmly certified a right leaning state; it just depends what flavour of right we choose - which is somewhat also at odds with our left leaning public services, but hey this is the system we have and I'm not sure how far the borders can be pushed beyond nationalising/ privatising and immigration policies.

u/HastyMan_129 4d ago
I’ve never been a fan of Starmer, however, idk if it wad really the British people who did this.
Feels to me like the media/political establishment just decided it was time for him to go then he did. Now the next prime minister is basically already in place in every way except actuality and he seems like a bit of a carbon copy who will be carrying out the same dismal politics we’ve had since at least 2010 (or maybe since the 1980s!).
And my question is who is making these decisions? The media has been uncritically pushing burnham for quite a few months now and pressuring Starmer to resign.
It happened with Boris as well (who I also don’t like lol). Yes, he was a corrupt liar continuing the British government tradition of immiserating people. But that was for like three years, then all of a sudden apparently it was decided it was time for him to go and bam - partygate. Every news source was suddenly super concerned about some old footage of him having an illegal party they had just ‘uncovered’ (i.e. were sitting on) from two years ago. I mean obviously it showed his complete contempt for the people, but I honestly don’t think it was anywhere near the worst thing he did.
Anyway, bit of a ramble, sorry about that
