In the next general election mainstream parties will likely continue to lose support because both have been in power recently & neither have really given many voters the change & improvement in life chances they want/need.

For many voters the choice will then be, which insurgent 'populist' party do you wish to support: the left environmentalists or the right racists.
The competition between the Green Parties & ReformUK Ltd will leave the (so-called) centrists floundering....

yes, that's why I put the term in quotes; many commentators (and to be fair Polanski himself at times) have referred to a new Green populism.... of course, we also should not conflate populism (the adopting of simple messaging) with the Q.of whether policies are popular; a particularity of political analytic speak

@ChrisMayLA6 That's what it looks like at the moment but what will it look like after the bubble inevitably bursts? Governments will bail out banks again and try to enforce further austerity when we're not even close to ending the last lot.
At that point I'm betting a large majority will support a party that wants to make the wealthy pay for all the mess over a party funded by the very people who caused it (again). -
@Clutha @ChrisMayLA6 it's doesn't though does it? Sleaze barely moves the needle, probably because it's barely reported as you say.

Well, it may become a little clearer on Friday morning

@ChrisMayLA6 @BrianSmith950 Victims of their own (un)popularity. The real question is which pretender to government do we collectively think will provide the best future. I don’t see Farridge having much insight into, or concern about, the average voter. 1/2

@ChrisMayLA6 @BrianSmith950 Unsophisticated people are all too ready to believe his weasel words, and have long forgotten his immediate post-Brexit denial of the promised £350m a week for the NHS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=3BNCmn208SfbRO5m&v=cA3XTYfzd1I&feature=youtu.be
But as Mark Twain pointed out, it’s easier to fool people than persuade them they’ve been fooled. 2/2 -

For me this seems to be the death throws, like so many apparent tragedies, of the outdated systems of domination and colonialism. Alternatives are available but people are more afraid of those unknowns, not to mention the lifestyle changes which will need to be made. We, what 'we' is a whole other question, cannot continue with this insanity of inequity & downright cruelty and continued decline into barbarity.
To say we have some difficult decisions is an understatement. -
