Just wondered if people on here are happy or unhappy at the general election result last week? I stayed up most of the night to watch the results come in.
It would be wonderful if we could have a calm, logical, reasoned political discussion on here that doesn't result in anger, name calling and the mods locking the thread
Come on guys lets prove we can do it!
Very soon, Labour will find themselves out of their depth given the scale of problems in the U.K. and the strong possibility of serious social unrest in the U.K. taking into account other problems outside of the U.K. - they will find themselves in a position where they will have no other option but to hand over all power to a provisional milltary government which will involve a national state of emergency, police state, martial law and curfews - the timescale for this is roughly 12-18 months from now, unless something really significant happens at the last moment behind the scenes to avert this from happening
Have you got a thing about men in uniform or something? Military rule seems to be your answer to everything!

I pleased that the Tories are gone, I'm not happy at Reform getting seats, I'm happy that Galloway lost his. I think Starmer has hit the ground running and he needs too, I wonder if he's under-promised, so as he can dole out bits of help, like liftiing the 2 child benefit cap that will be seen as a success.
I think after two terms in office most governments run out of steam and need to be pushed aside, although I didn't like him, I though Blair did some good stuff in his first term in office, it was after that and his *** swinging with Presdident Bush was were it all went wrong.
I didn't vote Labour for several reasons and I'm waiting to see what they do for the next 4 or 5 years before deciding if they're a good or bad thing.
lifting the 2 child benefit cap would be aweful and contradictory to alot of labour policies anyway. if you care about the environment youd want people to have less children and so you wouldnt want to pay them to have more and incentivise having more.... instead the way to go if you claim to care about the environment is instead do away with child benefit all together then perhaps offer payments to pregnant people to have abortions to incentivise abortions lol that way youd "save" the environment truly...
This is a terrible take, where is the evidence that having children is a net deficit to the environment? And why do you think punishing people for having children and incentivising abortion (ugh) is remotely compatible with a liberal democracy?
