No, he's only reiterating what so many are saying that there's no party to vote for.
You got a party you'll vote for JD?
It's over Denso, political parties are a busted flush.

Good grief! On that basis are we to suppose that you are somewhere the right if Ghenghis Khan or Attilla the Hun? Somewhere to the left of Leon Trotsky? Or just an old fashioned anarchist like JohnD thinks?
In view of the fact that we have an electoral system, you seem to be proposing a revolution of some description, which probably means a dictatorship? Banana republic, anyone?

Which doesn't work. Did you vote for Richi Sunak? Did anyone? Did anyone vote for HS2 - which party's manifesto was that in?

No, I didn't vote for Rishi Sunak (heaven forfend!), but then I've never voted for any PM, because we don't have a presidential system. In the UK you vote for an MP or his party. I can and do agree that two unelected PMs is a bit rich and that Sunak should have gone to the country to confirm his mandate.
Personally, I'd like to see PR in the lower house (maybe STV) with a majority elected upper house on a different system (party list) although with a percentage of direct appointees. Because the function of the upper house is to scrutinise legislation proposed by the lower chamber, I'd expect some very strict eligibility rules as to experience and suitability of candidates (so no mates of the ex-PM or party donors or people promoted so that they can be appointed elsewhere)
As to HS2, because we don't have a referendum system like, say, California that makes it a matter for Parliament under our system, and certainly as a matter of infrastructure and economic development so it should be. This is is regardless of my personal views on the subject of HS2
BTW in California the proposal system delivers some truly bizarre results at times.

I don't have an answer, but whatever system would be better, would have to be able to prevent another Truss incident.
On paper she's well qualified - check her Wikipedia entry - but everyone with an opinion seemed to be concerned , back then, that she'd shown she could say some remarkably unwise things, for the want of a better word.
She reached her level of incompetence, all right.
How on earth do you set a up a system to prevent someone like that getting any power?

Do you think so? (Think is the wrong word, I know )
Doesn't seem to be much to replace them with
I'd say more of a fascist or nazi.

Anyone who can keep the SNP out. I'll wait and see...
Its easy, just vote Labour and make this country better.
there ya, sorted it for you, you can get on with your day now you know where to put yer cross
Labour is normally well supported by those who are too young to remember the last time they had a pop at running the country. It usually doesn't end well, but there again they probably couldn't do much worse than the current shower.
My experience is that the tories look after the toffs, labour have abandoned the working class and are now the party of doleys, both of them chase the easily bribed pensioner vote, so nobody represents the interests of those who actually work for a living.
I'll be voting for the Reform party next time, not so much because of their policies (which are actually mostly reasonable and balanced), but mainly because the whole corrupted system is due for a really good shake up.
Far too many politicians of all colours have only ever done politics, don't understand the real world or what actual work is and only care about getting elected to make money.
