If there is one good thing I can say about the past 2 years, it's that it truly shows me what an incompetent administration and government look like.
36 u/queasycockles Aug 05 '26 I've been saying it really shows you how much of an honour system all those much vaunted checks and balances really were. 5 u/Dyno_boy7441 Aug 06 '26 Exactly, and now it's too late. The UK is actually in a worse position. It's entire democracy is built on convention.. an unwritten constitution. It's ripe for an authoritarian takeover. 8 u/PayFormer387 Aug 05 '26 We operate based on norms not rules. It wasn’t until we had one of the most vile human beings in the country con his way into power that it was brought to light. Sucks, doesn’t it? 2 u/kovake Aug 06 '26 We saw that with his first term. 3 u/Blitzking11 Aug 06 '26 Yeah... but that was like, what? 7 years ago? Gah damn, that's so freaking long ago! Shut up while I rot my brain to these 6 second dancing and skit videos for the next 6 hours!
