I don't subscribe to any party. I vote based on what their platforms are. Sometimes that's Cons and other times libs. I don't really care for Poilievre (as a leader) but the NDP is not the party either. Liberals have some time to recover their brand/image but I fully expect a conservative government later this year. If i had to vote today, it would 100% be conservative. Let's see how the future might change that.

They had years to prepare, made loads of promises and came into power not cus they were good or even mediocre but the fact the alternatives were doggo and public wanted change, it was like 3am in the nightclub and you grab what u can. The party is so in equipped, the Chancellor bullshitted her way to the role and Kier is a simple bureaucratic. It's like giving the keys to my house to my kids because me the the Mrs are punch drunk. Quicker we get rid of the jokers the quicker we can grow as a nation. The bolded, and fact that they are still doggo, in fact even more so, is reason enough for me tbh. I can see why someone would think otherwise, though. 1

Alkso how many people have said Labour need to stop blaming the Tories, when they were using the international banking crisis of 2008 against them only in last years election campaign. @Bilo has given the right answer to that conundrum above. They've always had old media, and now they seem more and more adept at their grip on new media, too.

Lionator Posted 6 January Posted 6 January The inconvenient truth is that it’s basically impossible to govern in western countries now. Name a single western leader that has done well over the past 10 years? The system is broken, 2008 essentially destroyed it and nobody has a clue how to turn things around. A new PM comes in and gets immediately spat out by the system. 4

Bilo Posted 6 January Posted 6 January A lot of my content before I binned Twitter off was American incels obsessing over whether the person in the toilet cubicle next to them had a cock and weird middle-class Corbynistas with Simpsons profile pictures calling strangers bald.

The difference is that neoliberalism is a well-defined political ideology that has been the consensus in the west for nearly 50 years. Most people still can't define 'woke' and seemingly just means 'things that liberals like'. Edited 6 January by BenTheFox 2 1

It gets used in similarly reductive ways and like woke can mean almost anything the person using it wants it to mean. I remember it being used a lot in 2016 by people claiming that the EU and Hilary Clinton were 'neoliberal' and therefore bad. Saying "the West has been ruined by neoliberalism" is as silly as saying it's been ruined by woke, not least because 'the West' is full of countries whose social and economic policies have been totally different recently. 1
