As a non-Brit, I see what’s happening as a slow motion car wreck.
Marine Lepen MPs won 40% of the votes in the first round of the parliament elections. Luckily, France has 2 round elections. In the second round, everyone rallied against Lepen MPs.
If France adopted the First-Past-The-Post voting system, Marine Lepen would be ruling the country with an absolute majority.

Can’t believe Farage is still a thing. Are we all really this collectively stupid? :(

Farage should never have been a thing. But the media can’t seem to leave tge prick alone

Also, if the system you use to make decisions is insanely unbalanced (FPTP), and you ask it insane questions (“should Nige be within shouting distance of any position of power?”) then the answers aren’t really worth taking seriously.

Oh yes.
Reform recently took over my local county council. Then they closed a community centre.
Response from the Facebook Crazies? “Why have Labour done this?” 🤡
