      Guy Vesthoven

      Do you mean Guy Verhofstadt? He’s an idiot that sold out his country years ago and subsequently ran to Europe to fill his pockets some more. He just wants a larger union so his pockets can get filled even faster.

                  FPTP is objectively a shitty voting system, up to 49% of the people will go without representation.

                  I don’t know if that’s necessarily evidence of a decline in U.K. democracy, but it does still make the U.K. a flawed democracy.

                  You really think we have a free press in the UK. what a stupid thing to say. The main press are all rightwing and ran by a small group of people. This is why it was big news that Starmer talked to Murdoch. Everyone with any sense knows that Murdoch has bought up more papers to push his propaganda than anyone else in the UK. If you want news do not look anywhere near the UK media.
