UK General Election

Respectfully I disagree it can't possibly get any worse.Sewage in our seas and rivers, highest taxation since WW2,Child poverty, blatant corruption, record homelessness, crumbling schools, NHS decimated,prisons at breaking point etc etc.It will be very hard for Labour to undo 14 years worth of destruction, it will definitely take time, I honestly believe if they are given the time things will improve Lesley.They can't really get much worse.As for the corruption, rumours abound they will appoint a committee to investigate all the VIP Covid fast lanes and government contracts given out.Unfortunately it doesn't look like things such as Rishi awarding Moderna 2 billion while holding 540M of there shares will be, if it is I'm glad we have an extradition treaty with the US lol, he'll be on a plane to California 5th July with no cares or remorse.What we desperately need is proportional representation so every vote counts and we have wider choice of parties and manifestos, that's when we'll see real change.Two party choice benefits none of us except those 2 parties, first past the post is an ancient draconian way to run a democracy.Will enable new parties with the people as priority and local independents who genuinely care for their people and communities.I'm voting whoever will beat the Tories but that will be Labour where I live anyway.I want them decimated for a generation for what they've done and jail time for the guilty though I doubt that will happen! Things like introducing the eat out to help out scheme knowing it was very likely to trigger a second wave and knowing we were unprepared causing thousands of unneeded excess deaths is unforgiveable and sending vulnerable back to care homes knowing they'll spread it amongst the elderly but still ordering anyway is democide! I don't suspect we'll get the politics/politicians we all deserve in my lifetime, but it will certainly change in future.The youth of today are wise beyond their years and won't be as passive as we have sadly become.Sorry didn't mean to type an essay 🤣🤣 I wonder if this counts as 10 comments for mingle?🤪

You have a lot of good points Steve, but I believe that changing to a labour government will just be a passing of the baton and things will continue to get worse. We just don't have an alternative and none of them will stop the total destruction of our economy and country.
And yes, you should get 10 mingle points for the essay, both for the writing of it and the content (but unfortunately, you'll just get one) 😔
