Eh the smaller parties didn’t resonate with people so much this time around and we were closer to a 2-party state in the past. I mean we had the unionist party supplant the conservatives and liberals during ww1.
I mean, a World War and the resulting turmoil probably would be enough to dislodge the conservatives today. Thats exactly the sort of “MUCH worse” I was talking about.
Being negative is cheap and doesn’t inspire anyone. That’s what the powerful few want. I want to hear solutions not complaining.
No, but neither does lying. Saying “Just support the small parties more” isn’t a realistic fix in our current system, nor does any other, “sit at home and hope things improve strategy.” Large scale organization is needed, and letting people think it’ll get better with their inaction only helps the established parties too.
The only way it’ll get better is if people get angry and force the government to listen - look at any rights movement ever. Lying to people won’t get them off their asses. What might, is the realization that things will keep getting worse unless they actually step-up and start organizing.
Of course you claim in bad faith that anyone who doesn’t agree with you is “just sitting at home and not doing anything”
Your negativity isn’t going work in getting people out at the streets protesting more. I’m not going to let 2 corporate political parties continue to whip their mps to “play along or else” go unchallenged as that would be way worse for the working class of this country in the long run.
