Italy too!
Good point. But given that it’s Italy, maybe they already finished.
The Netherlands just finished and walked out of this picture. But yeah we now have new discussions in Congress if umvolkung/the great replacement theory is a fact or if it a fascist conspiracy theory. According to the cabinet it's a fact and you can be minister and believe in it. (For example the minister that's decideds about immigration)
Germany too(but its not as bad as in the States yet).

Why are the UK on here, were about to vote in a left wing party.
were about to vote in a left wing party
Bahahahahahahaha, omg I needed a good laugh this evening., thanks..
Guy literally purged every halfway leftist in the fucking party, and has spent his entire time as leader, and is aiming his entire election campaign on, pleasing capitalists and maintain the status quo. The man doesn't have a left leaning bone in his spineless self serving body.
Eh, still better than the Tories. Supermajority begins the process of dragging the overton window back left, which I'm all for
Supermajority begins the process of dragging the overton window back left
Literally the opposite.
Normalising the current Labour party as anything even remotely left, which it isn't in any way shape or form, shifts the window to the right by removing actual left from the map altogether. That's the whole point of Starmer - to regain back ground for the right after what Corbyn awoke in the party and country.
We are getting a Tory whoever wins, they just wear different coloured ties.

Dude literally promised to continue tory policies. He's a fucking Tory in a labour suit.
Yup, but people don't want to hear it, they want to pat themselves on the back for "doing their part" and move on with their lives without ever having to stop to consider what they're actually endorsing and what part they are playing in this charade designed to keep us forever subservient to the owning class.

Starmer's Labour is about as left wing as the US Democrats are; by comparison only.
I mean, he really isn't. He's far to the left of them.
as i understood he has no intention of reversing the institutional damage from the Tories so he’s effectively supporting those anti welfare policies
He's pledged to set up a nationalised green energy company, increase funding to the NHS, and build 300,000 new homes per year. That seems a fairly decent start.
Issue is the Tories have tanked the economy and cut taxes, so Starmer's got fuck all money without raising taxes (unpopular, even though I think it's the right thing to do). Post election and with a massive amount of political capital to spend, I think we will see tax rises on those that can afford it, to help fix some of the damage.
on 'funding the nhs': his shadow health secretary says he will employ privatisation to reduce NHS waiting lists: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-59910107
incidentally he also accepted £175000 from donors linked to private healthcare and health insurance firms: https://www.thenational.scot/news/24250557.wes-streeting-takes-175k-donors-linked-private-health-firms
Not to mention renationalising passenger rail.
I swear some of the people on here only think you can be left wing if you want an 80% wealth tax of millionaires and are going to institute universal basic income.
Starmer is running a balance between left wing and actually getting fucking elected

Don't worry, you are still in the running, it's just a temporary setback.

If only the American public responded like the French public when fascists try to seize power.
By voting them in?
For real, the French Resistance is estimated at like 3% of their people lol

We’re corn-fed financial cattle, we can work sleep and handle a dozen crises at once individually; yet we’re unable to see that we share objectives because of team politics and exclusionary grouping. A lack of solidarity because it’s not allowed.
Are you allowed to leap across the finish line like that?
Edit: guess so?
You're allowed to use any mode of locomotion in a track race, including skipping, crawling, or moonwalking, as long as it's under your own power.
A bicycle is under my own power?
It is not. There are also rules about the type of shoe you can wear. But other than that, if you can cartwheel and backflip fast enough while staying completely in your lane, then you can do it in a race.
Because that's another rule. No leaving your lane.
A bicycle is a machine with mechanical advantages that propel you faster and further using the same energy input. So while it is technically locomotion powered entirely by you, it is not soley under your power because of said mechanical advantage. There have been similar trouble with amputee racers using blade and spring type prosthetics.

Germany: "We won last time. It's ok to be third place this time."
Being french ATM :
Don't group the US and the UK together here. The UK is on track to expel most of their Conservatives in the next surprise election because the Conservative in charge is an impulsive man-baby. The US is on track to hold their very last election as they fall into a tyranny built by Christofacists and Ultracapitalists and lead by the most ridiculous cult of personality you've ever seen.

what did France recently do to leap ahead?
Marie Le Pew’s far-right party is gathering more followers for ? reasons?
Macron's party is pulling out of races to give the socialists a better chance of cutting off the nazis.
It could work. We will see.
Don't give them too much credit, everyone's doing it and they were the last to do so too.
Don’t give Macron too much credit here.
He’s the one to blame for the far right’s victory with his same-same language, has he pushed the discourse that the left party is in fact a dangerous antisemitic far left party.
The left party was the first to pull out of races to let macron’s representatives win against the far right, even though it would cost them much more.
Macron is an absolute POS.
Marie Le Pew sounds way too nice for that POS
It’s Marine Le Pen, and her goon Jordan Bardella (who has Algerian origins from his grandmother but ignores that completely and prefers talking about his Italian origins from his grandfather)

The reason being that a single fascist billionaire owns several TV channels, radio stations and newspapers.
Hey - Hey, I’ve seen this one!
Le Penis party didn't achieve anything yet.

Whatever it was, the US Supreme Court deciding that presidents are immune from prosecution beats it by a very, very long shot.
People think that Macrons gambit was a mistake.
They're wrong, but its what they think.
