"Oh yes, Mr. Rich And Desperate-To-Protect-His-Own-Position Bad Man, I have SERIOUS DIRT on you. YES, I'm the only one who knows about it, and NO, no one knows where I am or who I'm meeting with right now. I'm holding the ONLY evidence in my hand -- and the moment I leave this room, your life as you know it will be OVER! Now, what you think about THAT??"

Daydreaming about a War of 1812 prestige drama, and then tormenting myself by imagining that it's just a lazy piece of USAmerican propaganda riddled with inaccuracies.

Thank you Bridon Ep 4 for answering a question I had just thought of at the start of the episode
If CXS dives into the body of an English speaker, would he be able to speak/understand English himself?

Labour Party Triumphs 2024 General Election
The United Kingdom has witnessed a seismic shift in its political landscape as the Labour Party achieved a landslide victory in the 2024 general election. With an impressive 412 seats, Labour has secured a majority of 174, marking a significant transformation in British politics.
A Devastating Blow for the Conservatives
The results are nothing short of catastrophic for the Conservative Party, which has seen its worst performance in terms of seats in history. Reduced to just 121 seats, this dramatic fall from grace highlights a significant disconnect between the party and the electorate. The decline is stark when compared to their 2019 landslide victory under Boris Johnson. Many argue that under the leadership of Rishi Sunak, the party has lost its Conservative identity and, consequently, its voter base.
The Liberal Democrats' Resurgence
The Liberal Democrats have emerged as significant players, capturing 72 seats—their highest tally since 1923. This resurgence indicates a growing appetite among voters for a centrist alternative, possibly reflecting disenchantment with both Labour and Conservative policies.
Other Parties and Their Gains
SNP: Holding steady with nine seats, the Scottish National Party continues to be a force in Scotland.
Reform UK: As a supporter of Reform UK, I'm pleased to see them securing five seats. This marks a breakthrough and suggests potential for future growth.
Plaid Cymru and the Green Party: Both parties have made modest gains, with four seats each, indicating a continued presence in the political arena.
Reflecting on the Conservative Collapse
As someone who voted for Reform UK, it's frustrating to see the Conservatives squandering their opportunity. Under Rishi Sunak, the party seemed to drift away from traditional conservative values. Instead of capitalising on the momentum built in 2019, there was a sense of complacency and lack of clear direction. It's almost as if they were resigned to losing, a sentiment shared by many former Conservative voters.
The Road Ahead for Labour
With Sir Keir Starmer at the helm, Labour now faces the daunting task of governing with such a commanding majority. While many of their supporters celebrate, the true test lies ahead. Can Labour deliver on their promises and address the myriad challenges facing the UK? Only time will tell.
Reform UK's Promising Future
In my honest opinion, the results for Reform UK are just the beginning. With a foothold in Parliament, they have the potential to grow significantly over the next few years. I predict that within 12 months, Labour's honeymoon period will end, and the realities of governance will set in. Disillusionment is likely, and when it happens, Reform UK will be poised to capitalise on the shift.
A Time of Change
The 2024 general election has undeniably set the stage for a period of significant change in the UK. The political landscape has been reshaped, and the next few years will be crucial in determining the country's direction. Whether Labour can maintain their support, or if other parties, including Reform UK, rise to the occasion, remains to be seen. One thing is certain: change is coming. Mark my words!
