There is nothing moderate about supporting genocide or letting the rich get richer while the poor starve.

Indeed, that is the one bright spot of hope to cling to. Although, unless there is a considerable upheaval in the Labour Party then they can not be counted as "progressive" in any real sense.

Yes, however, since they are currently splitting almost half the vote, while the other three* are splitting the other half that leaves them still the largest party.
* SNP and PC are a special case of course

Chickens and eggs?

I'm such a bad gardener. 🤣

Aww, this little guy is adorable!

Aah. Well then yes, I would expect Netherlands is not all that different.

Devon, England is awash with them. 🤣
