Feels like the whole world is on the same trajectory.

It is, expect everything to lurch to the right for the foreseeable future. Get ready for more humanitarian crises as we in the west increase sending climate and conflict refugees back to countries of origin or 3rd countries for "asylum processing" as climate change really starts to bite.

Also, I hope you enjoy Cold War 2: Arctic Summer Melt.

I don't know, Labour should win a landslide next week in the UK. And Conservatives will become a party #3 or even #4 for the first time since forever. Tories also ran out of money, lol.

I can’t imagine how nice it must be having more than two parties that’re viable to vote for.

It's still FPTP here, it's just that people got sick of Tories. Even billionaires got sick, imagine that.

You mean Keir "Tony Blair without the charisma and leadership abilities" Starmer's Labour? Fat lot of good THAT pack of ideologically bankrupt liberals are going to do other than freeing the UK from the even worse Tories! 😮‍💨

Hopefully, the UK is going to take a couple of steps to the left shortly.

If it does, it’s not because the country is moving left but because the right fucked up.

Yeah, it's a great first few steps. Really hoping LibDem becomes the official opposition and it's just two Left™ parties driving each other leftward.

Current Labour concerns me with how it's moved rightwards, but Daddy Starmer has my vote regardless
