Technological progress is often protested by short-sighted fools, yet never stymied. Just as the original Luddites failed to halt advances in textiles manufacturing, so too will the proponents of fossil fuels fail to halt the advance of renewables.

To be fair to them, this is one situation in which he is being treated similarly to Tory PMs. There was loads of coverage and speculation about Johnson & Truss leading up to their resignations. If no one else resigns in a week or two, they'll likely move on.

I'm neither an American nor a Russian oligarch, so I have no say in how US elections turn out, but to be fair to Jon Stewart, Zelensky was a comedian before his election in Ukraine, and he's been doing a pretty good job of holding his country together in trying times.

YouGov had his net favourability at -57 in mid January, and it has certainly fallen since then.
You can argue that the public are being misled and shouldn't have such a poor view of him, but saying that support for him is very high is simply untrue.

If South Park has taught me anything, it's that only Peter Thiel can stop the Antichrist. 🤣

Plenty of European democracies manage just fine with nationalised voting. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, provided your system has proper checks and balances... unlike in the US.

Not that being better than the most useless PM in British history is much of an achievement. Starmer definitely needs to go.

Well, no, Truss was worse at politics. That wasn't calculated evil, she didn't intentionally crash the markets, she was just a complete idiot. Had she been better at politics, she'd have understood how people would react to an unfunded budget.

No, that's moronic. The NHS has a whole country's buying power. It doesn't need to make compromises. The existing private contracts were negotiated by Tories trying to deliberately sabotage it. That's why it has to overpay for services.

Hopefully the racists squabbling amongst themselves will be enough to let the Greens take the seat.
