Yeah have to agree with pretty much all of that. My worry is that we are defecto the 52nd state these days and we've adopted the 2 party system from across the pond since the coalition was little more than a sitting government against fox hunting, their arguably biggest achievement was placing Cameron in a position where he bailed after throwing national policy under the bus to appease his own party.
I won't pretend that Brexit hasn't been mishandled as a lot of the opposition predicted (also in news water wet), but the EU/EC has unfortunately for them shown a lot of its attitude toward Britain is as promoters had been saying.
Sorry not maeaning to derail too much.
- n4r9 4y agoI'd argue that the UK has always had a 2-party system, and if anything the US adopted it from us. The Lab/Con split goes back to ~1910, prior to which we had the Tory/Liberal split going back to ~1850, prior to which we had a Tory/Whig split going back to ~1780, prior to which the political system was very different.
