  “deliver on small boats or be destroyed”

  Yeah, the boats. It’s totally the boats that are the problem. Those pesky boats…

  Should be the minimum requirement. Wipe out the lot of them. Public guillotine seems effective.

  But seriously, they say that with age people become more Tory and less tolerant. I’m becoming less tolerant of Tories.

  I think we all know what’s needed is total government reform though. We can’t go on letting them get away with this self serving, unaccountable nonsense. But I have no idea how that could be done.

  And while we’re at it, unfettered capitalism needs to be reigned in. Suggestions gladly received for both.

    Those voters who would shift to the Conservatives with age did so because they had accumulate assets that they would want to protect. Fewer and fewer people are getting the chance to accumulate such assets now, so there would be no reason for their politics to shift.

    I agree the governance of the Uk is in need of reform, and I would say voting reform would be the place to start.

    From what I’ve read that was true until the X generation which reversed the tendency… Don’t know how it will be with the Y and Z generations considering the masculinist movement is very popular with 20-35 y.o. white men…

  They should be facing incarceration.

    I read that as “incineration”, and my reaction was “a bit harsh, but fair”.

    Incarceration works too though.

    While we’re making wishes, the Labour government then announce a referendum on which form of proportional representation we will replace FPTP with.

  I hate headlines like this purely because it makes a lot of people who were going to vote think “Meh, I don’t really need to vote, Labour have it anyway” and then Labour don’t have it.
