Maybe people in UK should de-stupidify their politicians.

  It's doubtful that we can, the "good guys" are in power right now.

  The two major parties are both supporters of the nanny state.

  the people are a lot stupider than the politicians. sorry but it needs to be said. as for the MPs, theyre ok. not as stupid as most think. they are very self-interested and not in the business of 'rocking the boat'. strongly prefer managed decline than any risk taking that could result in things going sideways. its easy to critique but truthfully the UK is structurally in a dead end (well ok, maybe not... but it does feel that way). but things could be a lot worse, and many don't appreciate that reality. having clean tap water and paved roads is pretty damn good for a country held up by fintech and scraps of last century's industry. people calling for reforms have no idea what they're in for. Thankfully Reform was deployed together with Nigel Farage, God bless him, rolled in to do narrative control and provide a safe and controlled sponge for dissent. That guy is a 'fixer' for UK political radicalism - every time the crowd starts to have funny ideas, he magically appears and slowly but surely everyone goes back to their £32k/year jobs. I think he's 'retired' from politics thrice now. truthfully, nobody does politics better than the Brits. but then again, they invented this game to begin with!

    > truthfully, nobody does politics better than the Brits. but then again, they invented this game to begin with! I'm sure the Romans would have had something to say about that.

  Right, because all other countries have really intelligent and excellent performing politicians dont they?
