There are two things I am looking for that would be a sign of hope for the UK: 1). The vast majority of the people being absolutely disgusted with the Tories and NEVER voting for them again. 2). The vast majority of the people being absolutely disgusted with the right-wing media and NEVER again believing a word they say, and NEVER again buying one of those rags unfit even for toilet paper. Until those happen, the UK is going to have a bit of a rough time.

@danrua223 PR would solve a lot of these problems. All "democracies" that have FPtP district-voting are in deep problems. However, as the Tories have so abused the British voters, only deluded people will vote for them. There needs to be a day of reckoning for the Tory party, as a sign that people are waking up to how they have been duped.

@danrua223 Interesting ideas! My hope for the UK is that the current episode makes clear to everybody the need for reform. The big question I have is how to limit the damage these right-wing propaganda channels can do. As I see it, they have been preparing the people for Brexit for three decades, i.e. when I lived in the UK in 1994-1998 the rags were already spouting the most outrageous claims against the EU. The way I see it, media must be made liable for repeating outright lies no matter who the source, and must be forced to let their headline correspond to (or at least not contradict) the actual article. After spotting that a few times, I refused to read those rags even if they were lying in front of me, but I gather too many Brits don't do likewise.
