Trump Inauguration

I think you need to learn to respect the result last year's election. Stop moaning and accept democracy. This the will of the people.

 

What specifically are you referring to? Policies? I'm no Starmer fan at all - I think he's a liar - but Id like to know your specifics.

 

Answer came there none!

 

Good to see that Trump signed an executive order last night to finally resolve the Trans debate in America. According to his order, everybody should be categorized according to their sex at conception. The only problem is that *all* fetuses are female at the time of conception, so he's made it so that he is the first female President *and* blocked the federal government from recognizing anyone as a man. He just doesn't realise yet.

 

I feel there's been a concerted effort by the tory sphere to try and get across that 'everyones the same' and in some minds, it's stuck.

I don't believe that at all, I do think power can corrupt though, and it's hardwired in one particular side if the political fence, and systems in the HoC are decades out of date, and to get to power, and success there are often trade offs and uncomfortable decisions. Changing mind isn't lying. Has Starmer lied, I suspect so in some instances. Nobody tells the complete unadulterated truth every minute of every day for their entire lives. Has he taken decisions that were solely to be elected, undoubtedly. Has he changed his mind about things when looking at things through the prism of government and not trying to get airtime as an opponent, for sure. Is he making decisions now that are aimed at improving the country rather than himself, yes, I believe so... That in itself is a big change.

There was a really interesting book by Isabel Hardman called why we get the wrong politicians. Very insightful read in the main and worth a browse.

 

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll have a look for it.

 

Why we get the wrong politicians by Tyketical Masterstroke

1) The job doesn't pay enough to attract the best people
2) There should be half as many MP's on double the salary. No additional taxpayer cost and better people attracted.
