Because of FPTP direct action is totally ignored in the UK unless it has a bearing in the swing seat areas.
I get very annoyed at green protesters getting themselves locked up to gain attention. MPs do not give a rat's arse. The Tories used their actions to stimy other protests with laws. Most people want to push for net zero with their protests.
We really need that PR voting system and a change in our education system. People need to understand critical thinking and how to find factual evidence. This should be done at school level imo. Above all else is PR voting. FPTP is far too easy to manipulate, which is why we have a two party state.
Which is a rise of £21.6b £26.5, this leaves £73.5b in extra tax receipts since 2019. That is still a massive amount. If we assume that the £3500 per household is correct for the total amount, then with the new amount it is still £2572.5 per household, that is without corporation tax and windfall levies. Which is still £172.5 higher than the Tories said we would get if we were stupid enough to vote for Corbyn.
And for icing on the cake, Corporation taxes have actually decreased under the Tories from 28% in 2011, 24% in 2012, 23% in 2013, 21% in 2015, 20% in 2016 and 19% in 2018. The last 5 years have been the lowest rate for corporation taxes in at least the last 60 years. More proof that the burden of finances the country is falling on the poorer people in the UK.
You don't always vote for what you want under FPTP. It is fairly evident through polls that most want PR voting. Until that happens you vote for what is tactically best for you.
Labour aren’t worth your vote. We need to make our own political change now.
What are my options when the most important thing for me at the next election is remove this corrupt group from office?
Phil Moorhouse does a good break down on this one. He points out that the Tories were elected by using the fear factor over Corbyn. Part of that was stating that Corbyn would raise taxes by £2400. I wouldn't mind that extra £1100 per year in my back pocket now.
They could have found a fault in power delivery, which could be the issue. They may just be correcting it. You can guarantee there will be back to back tests done to show any difference, so time will tell.
Depends how reliable the cameras are. This would open up guilty verdicts for simply having bad equipment. You also know for a fact that some are going to break through other means also. You still stuck trying to sort the wheat from the chaff.
The Mail… so, so easy to hate with its borderline paedophilia
I would not even open the mail, so this one has past me by. The Sun likes to forget it did a topless series on Sam Fox when she was 16, and led with a 6 week campaign beforehand, announcing it was coming.
We have Ikea in the UK , which is a single track that meanders through the store. It forces you through every aisle. There are exits and shortcuts built into to it, but they do not make them obvious. I absolutely refuse to shop there. The few times I have been in the store has always left me angry for wasting my time.
The consumption room plan is supported by Scottish National Party, Labour and Liberal Democrat politicians but the UK Home Office insists "there is no safe way to take illegal drugs".
There is no ideal way. Drugs are dangerous, but people take them. I am disappointed by the resistance to legalise drugs. While drugs are illegal, they are unmonitored. I don't take drugs myself. I don't even drink anymore
