Please elaborate. I thought the UK was fairly liberal on prostitution. What is your concern or interest?
There are a lot of activates associated with prostitution which are illegal.
That applies to every politician...justvlike "and the budget will balance itself "
That's the problem for the UK. The collapse of the industrial sector has left large sections of the country - Lancashire, West Yorkshire, South Wales, Glasgow, Tyneside and others - economically unviable. So the country is more and more dependent on the City of London and financial services for its economic survival. So you get the equivalent of the tech industry on the West Coast. A small % are very wealthy and an increasingly large % are unable to even afford staples like housing and food.
Canada benefited handsomely from the arrival of the Thatcher migrants. The majority were skilled trades people, after the Quebec Referendum our economy boomed. Margaret Thatcher deregulated London's financial services, she's loved in the city - considered a bloody monster in Liverpool. David Cameron is like Brian Mulroney, a bad gambler. His policies ruined the UK's economy.
Incorrect. Corbyn was not expelled. He resigned and ran as an independent. Lo and behold, he bucked the landslide and local voters gave Starmer a defiant and proud middle finger.
Under Corbyn, labour received 3 million more votes in the last election.
Labour got 33.7% of the vote and somehow win a super majority with 411 seats. That would never happen here in Canada. You'd need at least 40% of the popular vote to win that much of a majority.Reform got 10 seats, bro. Or mate, since it's the UK.
Labour has over 400 seats. Forty times what Reform got.
The Right is fucked in the UK for the next 20 years. Starmer just won the biggest electoral landslide in British history.
Part of that is because turnout dropped by 7.5%. But yes their vote share in the 2019 election was 32.1% so they only upped it by 1.6% in 2024. And went from 202 seats to 411 seats.
Totally impossible here.
FPTP is a solution to the multi party, coalition chaos that European countries like Italy and France have.
It's not easy for a Western government to deal with forms of legalized prostitution. There are enough people who oppose it to make government sound decisions difficult if not impossible. Most Western nations have a half in approach which leads to ancillary problems.
mandrill, we can have this discussion from two different political perspectives. I don't think the pro-Palestinian lobby is going to find much success at the ballot box in Canada, the U.S. and the U.K. This might be true in Western Europe as well. Any political success they have will tend to help conservative parties as I would expect a backlash.
Depends. I am guessing that there is a heavy Muslim immigrant population in several EGH ridings. They have to be placated, or will simply boycott the elections. And whether Trudeau behaves himself is an issue.
