Isn't lamb a baby sheep? Sounds redundant to use baby baby

I don't know if it's your reading comprehension or you're just confused, but I urge you to re-read my comments - I'm not trying to convince you of anything, you clearly made your decision and it doesn't seem to be based on any empirical evidence.

You made some bold claims though and I'm here to challenge you on those.

  • You claim to be a "leftie".
  • You voted remain.
  • You want to reform FPTP and immigration.
  • Apparently reform are the only ones to hit all the boxes.

So my answer is this... If you vote Reform, you're not a leftie. If you vote Farage, you're not a Remainer either. There are other parties who want to reform voting and immigration with better track record, actual councillors and more humane policies.

If those are your main issues, how are they any different from greens or libdems?

Rishi... President? Yea, I don't think you're front the UK.

Those things are automated in most developed countries.

Just create a new universe that is ruled by the matriarchy, call it 'warhammer 60k' and job done. That way, the new universe will cater to new audiences without the lore being ruined with more plot holes.

Thank you for the reply and I appreciate the graphs. Most of those stats would benefit greatly, and would present a better picture if the units were per person though. I'm actually more impressed with some of the other countries in those images, that managed to achieve some of those things with a fraction of China's population.

Not every country has four year terms. Also, elections can be triggered early for various reasons.

As a privacy advocate, I hate all of them. But the main difference is, that unlike China, the U.S. government doesn't have a 'golden share' in those companies.

Learn history, or stop lying. Napoleon invaded Russia through (today's) Lithuania and Belarus.

Sorry for my ignorance, but I think liberal means something else in my part of the world. Can you please tell me what's your definition?

Edit: As I thought - you guys mean Neoliberalism. Even in the links below it's mentioned that there was a split in terms. Language matters! Liberalism - a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights and civil liberties (the opposite in the political spectrum from authoritarianism).

Nothing! Because they already use that power, just not in public. They blatantly exercise their powers to extort judges/politicians/media to their benefit.
