For a new political party to succeed in the uk you need millions in funding, and nobodys going to fund something that potentially affects their vast sums of money.
"Just start a new party and tell people about it" is perhaps the most misleading and flawed idea you could present unfortunately. There have been new parties, there are new parties at every general election, you never hear about them for good reason.
- khalic 1y agoOk I don’t know enough about this political system to contribute on that, there are some political systems built like that, like the US.
- desas 1y agoThe same thing applies in the US doesn't it? There has essentially only been two political parties (three if you squint hard enough) for nearly the entire existence of the country?
- khalic 1y agoYeah that’s why I was making the parallel
- desas 1y agoOh thanks for clearing that up, I misunderstood on my previous read.
- amanaplanacanal 1y agoThe US problem is the lack of proportional representation. Getting support of 49% of the population gets you 0% role in government.
- Jensson 1y agoUK also has that problem, but its even worse with a minority supported government getting majority power.
