@shavixmir saidLet's not forget Bolsinaro/Brazi;.
The British tory party.
My God, what a bunch of posh toss pots they are.
Never in my life have I witnessed, outside of American politics, something so chaotic, corrupt, stupid, racist, sexist and funny as Boris Johnson’s reign over the last 3 years.
Good grief. And still he clings on. Unbelievable!
-Removed-Clearly his policies were extremely liberal, he side-lined the unions and he was steeped in wars and arms buying.
Not very labour-like things.
And I seriously can’t judge Starmer. He appears to be a reasonable chap. But he’s a lawyer… and so has the personality of a wet towel and the sex appeal of a corpse.
@shavixmir saidDown-ish. And the potential successors do not look much more appealing. Liz Truss... One small mercy is that I don't believe Rees-Mogg wants the position.
Oh. Hot news! The bumbling beast is brought down!
@shallow-blue saidIs that why farmers are spraying manure on your buildings?
I vote in a real democracy, not in a two-party oligarchy, so English categories like 'votes for a loser' do not apply to me in the first place.
Your leaders are idiots.

-Removed-Nothing satisfies me politically anymore.
As a staunch socialist / communist (or as my friends call me: champaign socialist) I was always opposed to the wheelings and dealings of elected individuals (basically corrupted by the structures of power).
As I’ve grown older, my disdain has just broadend to fringe parties (like the socialists), the non-political and the religious, the woke and basically anyone with an opinon.
I can no longer tolerate politicians, activists or anti-activists.
I basically curse all their houses.
So, yeah, I’m sure as 💩 glad the Johnson has been discarded like the used condom he is, but I know full well that whoever follows him up will be just as bad. Whether tory or labour.
My only hope is that they fall as well.
Aye, my cynicism has become boundless.
Because everything that politics touches is tainted. And everything is groped by politics.

And do you think their behaviour, in the Netherlands, is building them support or diminishing the support they had?
I.e. do you think their protests are seen as constructive, or are they shooting themselves in the foot?
I’ll give you a wee hint: even the Dutch king came out in support of proper compensation for them; before these demonstrations happened. Do you think he’d come out and support them now?

@shavixmir saidWhy are they protesting? I'll give you a wee hint. They're not protesting for some BS improper compensation, if the king thinks it's about compensation he's as out of touch as you are. At least part of the protest is now about the police not shooting at them, if you're looking for the shot in the foot it's the police shooting at a teenager.

@wajoma saidUh... that is not what the protests are about at all (police shooting).
