Thatcherism with Italian characteristics
The Japanese phase of liberal democracy
Woah, never knew it was that bad. Guess Abe being such an outlier gave me the wrong impression. Good thing the universe corrected that mistake
“drummer for a 70s rock band that somehow still exists” phase of democracy
“We got a problem.”
“Again? Tommy started just last week.”
“Yeah. But he needs to be replaced.”
“What was it this time?”
“Self-combustion.”
Round and round we go
I saved this two years ago, and would you look at that - we’re just about halfway round again

Australia is not on there and it damn well should be
Our government works so damn hard to be just as terrible as any euro government and we never get any recognition for it.
Oh hey Japan just discovered how to do this cycle
Neat
Iconic
The ID laws and VPN bans just got 10 feet higher with the next PM so laugh while you can.
I welcome Starmer resigning, and I encourage him to go further.
We need good, sensible resignations, made by good, sensible Prime Ministers, made at the sensible time
It still somewhat surprises me he was a human rights lawyer.
That being said, I am convinced he represented the oppressors.
The kind of lawyer who hears devil’s advocate and gets excited thinking it’s a promising job position
What a spineless piece of shit, and that was obvious even before Labour won. Way back in 2023 he was constantly flip flopping between transphobia and criticising Rishi Sunak for making transphobic jokes after Brianna Ghey got murdered.
Burnham isn’t going to be any better. Says a lot about modern day Labour that fucking Keir Starmer and Andy Burnham is the best they could come up with.
vindicateddon’t worry honey, LONG LEGS CORBYN can’t hurt you anymore
As a nominal member of the UK Im far more invested in Peru’s elections than whichever English public school alumni gets to be on the peripheral vision of all my news for the next 2 years.
public school means private school
what a country!
Mum says it’s my turn to be Prime Minister this week.

Learning a lot about UK politics today.
No expectations of this leading to anything good but at least he got to eat shit
oh my, what will the red tories think of next?
The pessimist in me says he’ll be replaced by someone even more conservative
Burnham isn’t more conservative but he isn’t really any more progressive either. I expect the differences in policy will be imperceptible.
He will somehow be cooler and more cringe than Starmer. That’s impressive I guess.
Yeah
His rhetoric will be softer. He won’t be as vile to hear or watch. His policy will be functionally identical. The exact same people pull his strings.
Considering no lessons are being learned, it’ll either be someone more conservative or at least equally conservative
Some UK Labour PMs are born red tory, some achieve red toryness, and some have red toryness thrust upon them.
I don’t understand prime ministers who resign. That would never be me. What? You don’t like the job I’m doing? well too bad I’m not a quitter
I’d make them drag me from office
Saw something that could explain it. Possibly if they have to vote out the pm it would also trigger a general election
But maybe that’s the pm causing it not the removal of the pm by a vote of no confidence? 🤷🤔
https://www.parliament.uk/site-information/glossary/motion-of-no-confidence/?id=32625
A motion of no confidence is a motion moved in the House of Commons expressing lack of confidence in the government or a specific minister.
Having the confidence of the House of Commons has been seen as central to a government’s authority to govern in the UK. Traditionally, governments that have lost a confidence vote have either resigned in favour of an alternative administration, or the Prime Minister has requested a dissolution from the Monarch, triggering a general election.
Oh that would explain it. Yeah i would resign if it were a 2.5D chess maneuver to fuck my enemies
I’m sure also heavy bribes to help keep them from using the nuke option 😂
I’d want to see some torches and pitchforks at least.
If Im getting forced from my Prime… ministorship… ministry? primacy? whatever the case if you take it from me i make a campaign promise you’ll need a little more firepower to do it
That’ll teach the leftists in the party.
Truly, one of the British Prime Ministers
