No it's mathematically inevitable that there will be a 2 party system with FPTP.
A proportional voting system would need to be implemented to get around this fact, but neither party has it in their interest to do so (plus it would be unconstitutional).

Agreed, both the Democrat and Republican administrations in the past 100 years have contributed to the transformation of the US government into an unelected bureaucratic regime.
Since the electoral system doesn't allow for third parties, you need to compromise; GOP is the lesser of two evils.

The Democrats began the oligarchy. Why do you think a very large majority of all the billionaires in the US funded the DEMOCRATS and actively supported their electoral campaign?

The money will go to reducing the deficit of the enlarged bureaucratic state.

Under Obama black incomes from 2009 to 2014 fell more for blacks than any other racial or ethnic group and violent crime rose under his first term.
Under Trump, he signed the First Step Act into law, reversing Biden’s 1994 crime bill that disproportionately targeted Black Americans.

The right to female only safe spaces.
The right to compete solely against other females in sports.
The right to be recognised as women based on biology not feelings.

Good.
The UK is not an islamic nation and we should not actively support the decimation of our christian culture under the pretence of acceptance for alien cultures.

How did the McDonalds and Starbucks boycotts turn out? 😂

Which 'rights' have been taken away?
All I've seen in the first couple months of this new administration is a greater number of rights given to women which were previously oppressed by men with guises.

NHS funding, accounting for inflation, has risen since 14 years ago.
Underfunding is a hoax.
We are pouring more money into the NHS than ever, and its quality get worse every year.

Conservative x Reform coalition is inevitable.
Badenoch will be able to unite the conservative party, and reinstate the traditional values it once had.
Farage will take a harder stance on controversial issues; immigration crisis, climate change agenda etc.

Attacking the leader of your own party for having a conversation with an MP?
Labour's infighting is becoming a comedy show.

This is the fate for all socialised industries, nothing to do with the Conservatives.
Government intervention will always lead to reduced efficiency and degraded services.
Britain should recognise that our model of healthcare is inherently flawed, and adopt a system like Switzerland has.

You've just shifted the goalposts, I was rebutting your claim that Trump was unable to secure the border.
Nice change of subject.

This is a completely baseless claim, only backed by your disliking of him.
If you look at his record on foreign policy objectively, you'd be far more hopeful.

Projecting. If Putin really 'bought' Trump, how come he never invaded any region under his presidency?
Under Biden Putin invaded Ukraine
Under Obama Putin invaded Crimea.

Nobody excepts a lack of social/professional consequence, just an end to censorship / a banning from platforms.
They are not comparable.

Those industries face the same problem was the water.
They're effectively government programs, with private profiting, under a guise of capitalism.
comment in response to
post
Because the water industry is not a free market.
The government has picked the winner and prevents any competition.
How can you attribute the blame to capitalism, when there's an unnatural single actor in the market?

Reform is NOT far right.
The political spectrum has shifted so far left in recent years, reform holds views of the centrists 30 years ago.

I'm being played? You don't even know was neoliberalism is 🤣
Almost half of the UK's economic output is government spending, that's unequivocally of socialist intentions.
comment in response to
post
LOL do you even know was neoliberalism is?
Labour are ABSOLOUTELY not that.
We're headed towards socialism, and I'd argue we're currently in a social democracy.
Too long we dabbled in leftist politics, we need a resurgence of TRUE rightism, not necessarily socially, but certainly economically.

Allowing a state sanctioned death to pass parliament isn't giving the government more control?
It is a slippery slope to go down, and although those protections may seem 'extensive', you've set a precedent for legal homicide.
Maybe I'm just a pessimist 🤷♂️

I've voided my relationship with every single individual who has had even ONE covid vaccine.
The test of character has never been more prominent than during the period of the pandemic.

David Lammy will fail to deliver DISASTROUSLY.
Maintaining a relationship with China is more important now than ever in history, and we have the WORST Foreign Secretary in history to do so.

The social political spectrum has massively shifted left. The 'far right' as you call them were centrists just 30 years ago.

Assisted dying will almost certainly lead to exploitation. It gives the government more control (NHS backed program) and lead to targeting of vulnerable people. Wealthy grandparent with dementia? Assisted dying.
Badenoch is right, the state is too inept to be debating over topics such as these.

Cannot wait for the distain liberals will dress in once America is returned to its former self.
Democrats have a delusionality unseen by any other movement in history, and it's all going to fall apart in the next 4 years.

The rights of woman have been thrown off a cliff these past 4 years.
Transgenderism is responsible for the DECIMATION of progress for women's rights, and that fact will be highlighted under Trump's term.

Rightism is the only way forward for Britain. For too long we have had leftists policies, and look how our country has turned out.
You can attribute ALL of Britain's problems to a lack of right wing leadership in the last 20 years.

What is 'the mess' you're referring to?
The 22 billion pound blackhole was a LIE. The OBR refuted the claim as it had included labour's future spending plans which the conservatives had not accounted for.
By the way, 'balanced public finances' is NOT a requirement for economic stability.
