Oddbean new post about login | logout @2fd63806 They don't because the writing's on the wall. However, the #Tories dress them drawing out their rule as being best for #Britain when it's clearly about political survival. If they gave a shit about the #UK, they'd listen to the electorate & allow us to choose our way forward. The fact they're refusing to call an election is political selfishness & mendacity of the highest order. We want a #GeneralElectionNOW 🌹🇪🇺 ❎ 🗳️
@0f342e77 True. The core issue is that politics and government have conflicting objectives. (And essential qualities) Success in one all but guarantees incompetence in the other.
@2fd63806 Politics sets out with the best of intentions, until desperate politicians bastardise everything to retain power by any means necessary. However, we're stuck with politics so we've just gotta hope that those who've climbed the greasy pole do the best for us once they reach the top. Some see it as voting for the least worst option, but I prefer to look at it as voting for those who come closest to my personal, political ideals.
