  1. Good video and interesting to see what an American sees 🤠 (Hung parliaments are unusual here.) I dispute New Nu-Labour being centre left though. Starmer has continued the party's move to the right to chase the Tories, only more so. Partly because the MAGA section of the Tories have gone far right, chasing Reform Ltd. Farage has been and is the most influential politician never to be elected, yet. The Tories have tried to outflank him to the right and now some of their supporters call them Socialists, going to Reform Ltd. Farage is friends with Bannon. Truss stood next to Bannon while he praised Tommy Robinson aka Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, another far right, millionaire man-of-the-people. New Nu-Labour has purged the left with far more malice than Blair did. Thatcher said her greatest accomplishment was Blair. She brought in neoliberalism, Blair continued it and now New Nu-Labour are privately funded. They're likely a one term government. Starmer can't lie straight in bed and we all know it. The Tories might go extinct and Reform Ltd could be the Opposition party to New Nu-Labour. Hopefully it's the Lib Dems. Due to the expected New Nu-Labour landslide, it's a free vote (rare under FPTP,) so as a green lefty, I've voted for the Greens 💚 (Postal votes are early.)

  2. Historically 50% of our PMs aren't elected. However having five in fourteen years is unusual, with Liz Truss only lasting about 40 days 💥🥊🥬
