Fair enough point. The UK system tends to favour the preservation of established wealth and power. Changing the voting structure would be the lever to shift that, but there’s little sign of that happening quickly. The practical implication is a system that may struggle to adapt over time.

Voila the reason uk is finito

Lack of education.

Whereas Obama was just mixed race. USA is racist, why do we pretend otherwise

Got it done in four. I’ve kicked off Pal Participation Play so we can both take part - how does 5 each sound? (7+4)/2 = 5.5, rounded down = 5

On the UK

full control without consistent direction.

* Marx would say: power hasn’t shifted
* Hayek would say: the rules aren’t stable enough
* Keynes would say: the levers exist but aren’t used well enough

On the EU not a bad idea, just not fully built.

* Karl Marx: power hasn’t really shifted—capital still calls most of the shots
* Friedrich Hayek: there’s a risk too much control ends up in the centre
* John Maynard Keynes: it’s missing the tools to deal properly with shocks

The main economic theories

* Marx solves inequality but breaks coordination
* Hayek solves coordination but breaks fairness and stability
* Keynes stabilises the system—but relies on institutions behaving well over time

UK is a case in point. Paralytic on Kool Aid, Gorged on Greed.

Loach wasn’t trying to “show off” the working class, nor simply catalogue suffering.
He was trying to make social reality unavoidable, while showing that the people inside it still carry dignity, humour, and agency.

Yeah—what does Pope Francis know anyway? Let’s just hope he’s not single-handedly wrecking the “special relationship.”

Probably safest to wheel out King Charles III to bow dutifully to the victors every Independence Day—just to keep things tidy—after all, the UK must bow to their USA masters.

I just found it spooky. The green is the colour we have just painted the daughter’s room.

England won’t loosen its grip. Scotland gets cast as the handy punch bag — painted as a drain, mocked over free prescriptions and lower tuition. Some of it is envy dressed up as argument; with others, it runs closer to plain dislike.

Still glad I’m Scottish but my heart sits in Europe.

And David Cameron ends up in the Lords—says it all. It’s a closed loop. Hard to dress it up as anything but self-serving.

As for voting Tory: pattern’s consistent—policy tends to favour those already at the top, with the bill landing elsewhere.

There’s a kind of wide-eyed certainty to it all—earnest, but not especially tested.

You can see the appeal. It’s tidy, reassuring, and easy to follow. A constructed fantasy—more hopeful than grounded—fine for storytelling, less so for anything that has to stand up to scrutiny or carry real weight.
