  I’ve lived in this country for just over 30 years and the FPTP electoral system that is allegedly preferable because it “provides political stability” has just gifted us my 10th Prime Minister.

  @davidallengreen@mastodon.green The thing that really worries me about this is that, to my mind, the only way in which they can feel this secure about their ”absolute immunity” and their being under his protection, is for them to genuinely believe that there will never be anybody else in power again. And that is a scary thought because it means that a lot of thugs equipped with heavy armoury now have a vested interest in making it so.
