This is what fucks me off about the whole sordid affair (no pun intended) not that he cheated on his wife, not that she cheated on her husband more the level of Cronyism that goes on.
The whole lot of MPs, from both sides, with very few exceptions are all in it for themselvesā¦vive la revolution.

If only the forum had a poster who used to point out that perhaps benevolent dictators who hold a long term vision for their home could be a model rather than the w2fm crowd that exists atm
Get Charles in charge.
What happens when a benevolent dictator turns malignant? Or when said benevolent dictator is replaced by one severely lacking in benignity? Perhaps the people could vote and get a more benevolent dictator instead?
Thereās plenty thatās wrong with the democratic system in this country, and indeed with those in many other democracies, but democracy itself is not the problem.

Anarchy is the only way.
I see the current problem as you have Boris for a few more years.
Then you get Gove or more Boris. Or Starmer.
It just keeps self perpetuating
Anyone with actual morals or a spine gets obliterated.
The reason?
Democracy is broken. It is controlled by the donors and is for the donors
Democracy is the worst system imaginable.
Until you look at all the others.

Care to answer the questions I asked? Itās not difficult to point out the flaws in the current system in this country, and thatās all that youāve done here.
As I said, the political system is the issue, not democracy.

Iām not about to call for a dictator, benevolent or otherwise, but I will stick up for Phil a little bit while acknowledging your point.
I agree that the political system, not the concept of democracy, is to blame. It is winner takes all, power effectively lies in about 150 swing seats and when a party gets a whopping majority, our system is mostly a dictatorship of the elected. I say mostly because some bills do get voted down, but not many.
The political system means that our democracy, at best, creates five year long dictatorships. At worst, it creates the Remainer Parliament.
So back to @Polski_Filip, I can see where he is coming from. If youāre going to have a dictatorship, long term might work better as longer term aspirations can be planned and achieved without changes in leadership.
Further, I think weāve seen in the past decade that our system, already crap, is as rigged as it is broken.
Iām not sure what political system would work
If we switched to PR then minority parties would hold far more power than would be commensurate with their support
The current two party system isnāt healthy particularly when one of them cannot decide what they are anymore
I would like to see the back of Boris, but I would like to see Gove Williamson Hancock and Ledsom fucked over first so that they no chance of getting their hands on the tiller
