Australias Labor party is sits slightly progressive and slightly left of centre, the greens sits hard left/progressive, given we have more than 8 parties, 4 of which could be considered major parties with 2 of those in the left and none of the issues associated with FPTP and that electoral college nonsense I think Australia is doing alright in the scheme of things, especially compared with the US and UK.
Kind of, its a little more complicated than that, I think its probably more accurate to say they have their own issues. The UK system is pretty different from the shitshow in the US.
They also use FPTP but have no electoral college and multiple parties including 4 major parties. So while there are multiple parties, in any given electorate you really need to vote for the party you hate the least that has a chance of winning. The two parties in an electorate that have a chance of winning varies across electorates and regions. They also have the House of Lords instead of a senate with members of House mostly being appointed (for life) rather than elected.
So .. its own nonsense. Still seems less shithouse than the US system.
Is anyone calling UK Labour centre-left? I would have thought theyd be sitting just inside the lower right quadrant of the political compass, they might have been centre left when Corbyn was the leader but that was a while ago and Starmer isn't that kinda guy.
She does have a law degree, but Wikipedia suggests it's been 20 years since she's used it in any kind of professional capacity. This whole merit based system seems to have the substance of wet toilet paper.
Seems odd or even irresponsible to give a job like that to someone who's been out of the game for so long. Normally you'd expect that if you don't use your qualification in a relevant professional role for an extended period of time then you would have effectively lost those quals.
So I don't know much about the intricacies of American legal structures, is this a purely political role or is she actually going to have to act as a prosecutor?
So did half of the current Trump administration including the VP, next we will hear the pope has spoken with Trump and he's excited about consecrating a new Catholic church in Greenland's new American state capital building.
Don't try and downplay the affect of connecting with noons on the human psyche. They are an evil scourge and should be eradicated. This is exactly the kind of thing a noon would post.
If you look at the vote compass Labor currently sits a little left and slightly progressive, they have implemented/supported their fair share of authoritarian right legislation though
