    It’s going to be really tough for the next government to get out of this hole. god forbid the labour party don’t manage to make significant steps within one term.

    Cause then we might get Farage and his ilk

      This seems to be a repeating pattern everywhere around Europe.

      Conservatives fuck up the economy and society in general, leftists get elected and try to fix things but face resistance from conservatives, conservatives blame leftists for everything they fucked up themselves, even more extreme conservatives get voted in because people are morons and conveniently forget who it was who was responsible for the problems that conservatives claim are all the left’s fault. Rinse and repeat.

          Very true, unfortunately. Probably isn’t going to get any better before things get much worse first, either

              Wish I knew how.

              Voting doesn’t seem to be the thing that’s going to unfuck this, considering how popular right wing extremists are right now and how morons are voting for them in droves, at least here in the EU.
