Can't believe no one mentioned this beauty! Mo-Do - Eins Zwei Polizei
I don't know if it's your reading comprehension or you're just confused, but I urge you to re-read my comments - I'm not trying to convince you of anything, you clearly made your decision and it doesn't seem to be based on any empirical evidence.
You made some bold claims though and I'm here to challenge you on those.
- You claim to be a "leftie".
- You voted remain.
- You want to reform FPTP and immigration.
- Apparently reform are the only ones to hit all the boxes.
So my answer is this... If you vote Reform, you're not a leftie. If you vote Farage, you're not a Remainer either. There are other parties who want to reform voting and immigration with better track record, actual councillors and more humane policies.
Why would I vote for libdem?
Because they want to get rid of FPTP and fix immigration, your main two important issues. But it seems like you're adding extra steps now..
Anyways, reading your other comments here, you've confirmed what others already suspected - you don't really want to fix the root issues of immigration, you're just a xenophob.
If those are your main issues, how are they any different from greens or libdems?
Assuming you're not trolling. Can you please expand on what good points do you think they offer?
I agree and I don't understand why people like op keep bashing green parties. There's a reason why nuclear is not a viable option. Ignoring the financial burden - Nuclear waste is not a technological issue, but a political one. People don't trust politicians and corporations to keep it safe for multiple millennia. Look at the state of the UK rivers, chronical waste dumping to save money. People who don't think it will happen with nuclear waste are delusional or don't know their history, as we already had nuclear dumping incidents near Australia, Baltic Sea, Mediterranean Sea etc..
The majority of the civil service don't support those policies. It's not their fault that every now and then some crazy unelected "CEO" comes along and tells the directorate "now do this". In the last ten years the Home Secretary changed eight times!
Just create a new universe that is ruled by the matriarchy, call it 'warhammer 60k' and job done. That way, the new universe will cater to new audiences without the lore being ruined with more plot holes.
Mainly 5 year terms, but I can see on the list some 6 and 7 year terms as well.. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_term_limits
Not every country has four year terms. Also, elections can be triggered early for various reasons.
What do you do when you need to update all the machines with your setup?
As a privacy advocate, I hate all of them. But the main difference is, that unlike China, the U.S. government doesn't have a 'golden share' in those companies.
Israel is an interesting case.. The stats are skewed because Israel has the biggest amount of religious "minorities" in any developed country. But if you look at the Tel Aviv bubble then it's almost 50/50.
Genuine question - what's your opinion of the Jordanian treatment of Palestinians?
I didn't say it's a great plan. But it's better than no plan.
I don't understand all the down votes. You don't have to agree with it, it doesn't even mean that I agree with it.. But I just wanted to shine some context to why it's not ironic to many Jews.
I would like to bring a counter point for you to consider.
When I put all my money in a bank, I have a guaranty from a regulatory body /government that in case of bankruptcy I will still get my money back, even if the bank goes bust.
This is similar for Jews around the world - Israel is an insurance policy. If your local country starts leaning towards fascism and looking for a scapegoat (which is usually Jews), then you'd have the option to go to Israel immediately. Because historically they've seen and still see how refugees are being treated and not welcome globally.
