Yeah I can't take "stable" as a descriptor for politicians seriously anymore

i think the environment these days is that it's massive problems piled on top of massive problems. There is no way we are going to see ourselves out of this for decades and we are just going to have to accept that. The problem is that as human beings we want things we can latch on to for stability, and they are becoming fewer and fewer, so overall, the mental health of the population is on a steep decline and that can only end badly.

If you think about it, covid accelerated Putin's isolation and paranoia, without that happening he may not have taken the actions he has before dying of old age

Teresa did the right thing in calling an election, she just didn't have the personality to pull it off successfully. If she had won by the margins predicted when she called the election, brexit would have been done and dusted there and then

Yeah if the snap election had been instant instead of both parties campaigning, she'd probably have had her landslide. The problem was ... people got to see her I get the feeling she's probably quite nice as a person, but she's a bit of a charisma vacuum. Though I did love her openly dragging BoJo at every opportunity.

She lost because her core voters turned in her with her abysmal dementia tax

Yeah when that election was called she had a huge lead in the polls. She should have gone very policy light in that campaign and just centered it on getting Brexit through like Boris did. Aside from that she could have mainly stuck with the manifesto that Cameron won a big majority with only a couple of years earlier

the best thing that can happen now is that the tory party get wiped out at the next GE and that allows "normal" tories back in the party, so in 8 years it at least would contain some sensible people again
