overview for Espiritdescali

The winners have to tread a careful path between placating their members and appealing to the general populace. I think this is one of the reasons why Labour will win, the centre ground is where the leaders of our country should be, people tend to want "normality" what ever that is.

I also think we should have PR instead of FPTP so the extremes at least get a voice in parliament rather than throwing bricks from the sidelines.

I think any car company that ISN'T developing self driving will be left behind

Rivian is developing self driving and with the investment from VW that is likely to be ramped up

We have a traditional compact with voters. They might suspect that we are self-promoting posh boys and money-grabbing wotsits, in politics for no good reasons. But if we are bstards, at least we have been competent bstards, ritually elected to clean up after Labour’s habitually profligate compassion. The last few years have ruined that. Without competency, we are just b*stards.

This quote right here shows that what voters suspect, is in fact true.

As for "Labour’s habitually profligate compassion", oh no! Not compassion!

100,000 people marched through London at the weekend at the Restore Nature Now March, and there was virtually no news coverage of it. Yet 2 people spray corn starch on a monument and it's front page news globally.

It's a dilemma.

Starmer purged the left wing from his party, he can't be surprised when they don't vote for him.

We are not against it, but it needs careful consideration due to limited server resources as well as limited user attention (we are a very small instance compared to others)
