I just feel as if the majority of parties apart from maybe the tories, labour and the lib dems have no clue what they would do in power once they do that one goal that is the forefront of their parties ideas e.g. i like greens politics on climate change but absolutely nothing else really. Then out of those 3 parties left, labours is fucking stupid atm and it’s kinda a train reck, lib dems are retards who want another vote and the tories would kill their kids if they could keep in power oh and I quite like the wealth fare state so.

If you like welfare you vote labour d00d also Corbyn said he won't be taking labour into the next election so they will probably go for someone more moderate next.

[Golden.]

No. Corbyn and his Marxist followers are voting in the same far left winged zealot candidate to replace corbyn. It will be years before labour is dignified again.

All of our parties are in varying levels in favour of the welfare state, as it would be political suicide not to be. And in regards to the next leader being moderate, considering the party has been highjacked by momentum, that's a doubt.

Generally speaking right-wing parties love to cut welfare as much as public opinion allows.
But conservatives are a centre-right party you might say and I would probably agree, but from what I've seen heard and read about Boris Johnson he is not.
He's even gone so far as to call poor people "losers".

This article also explains how life as a poor person have gotten significantly harder under conservative leadership.

Now I don't believe Johnson will demolish the welfare system entierly or anything extreme like that but I think he'll continue making life harder for the poor & benefit the rich.

Semi related Boris + conservatives do get donations from the rich & even billionaries in some instances.

(Now I'll admit I've been biased while looking this stuff up by not also looking into Corbyn and Labour or fact check much of this.)

I think it's safe to say that we lost. It's over.

We tried. We really did, but at the end of the day, bureaucrats and not people determine how the world is run. Australia is just the beginning. When Trump wins and the UK falls apart, that will be the final blow to civilization as we know it. Humanity raped the world and now it is going to rape us back. This is merely the great filter in action; a species rendered helpless in the face of their own mortality. Another evolutionary flunk tossed into the garbage bin of cosmic history.

You think WW3 will take its place soon? With all the tension now growing between the US and Iran.. Because if they go to war, Russia might join in as well. And when Russia joins in the war, the NATO will follow most likely too. As well as all the nations allies. I am not much of a politics person, so forgive me if I talk bullshit. It is just that this subject worries me.
