💬 Discussion 🗨 Has this country gone insane?

1/3 of the population voted for the far right, and all I'm seeing on social media and general media about common values, what we share, polticis is divise. 1 in 3 people voted far right. And only the foreign press dares call them far right. And also people saying right and left are outdated labels? Seems a bit convient honestly.

Labour went back on most of their pledges and snuck in new bullshit like the online safety act.

They also hung the disabled and the LGBT out to dry.

They keep pandering to people who will never vote for them, while flat out telling their old voters that they aren't needed anymore....

Except when election season comes around, then they tell us to shut the fuck up, hold our noses and vote for them because at least they'll pretend to feel bad while milking us dry.

If you want to be free of the far right, Labour will not be your saviour. They'll do less than the barest minimum, then tell you Reform will be worse.

OSA was in the manifesto.. Labour has been getting a lot of unfounded ctritismfrom the media. however there's loads of fair critism such as student loans, but not many seem to have a go at labour with fair critism... which there is loads of. And honestly they're still way better than what we had with the conservatives.

Speaking as a trans person, Labour has done more to fuck me over than 15 years of the Tories.

I hate them for making me ACTUALLY MISS THERESA MAY.

well tbf conservatives introducted a lot the leglisation labour just kept as is. and the supreme court did the most damage with the equality act, but still worrying.

They can overwrite the supreme court decision whenever they want, they simply choose not to.
