The primary internal opposition to a full-blown youth mobility scheme is coming from Starmer’s top interior minister Yvette Cooper.

Wut 😒… Yvette Cooper? The fuck?

    8 years and a number of Prime Ministers I’d find embarrassing as an Australian after the referendum, and we’re still discussing what the Brexit deal should look like. Great job, lads.

      Divided parties representing a divided country.

      In a FPTP political sustem that dose not support compramise well.

      We have mostly had around 60% of our voters disagree with the government. As 30 fo 40% is normal to wing 50+ % of seats.

      FPTP is crap for democracy but good for larger parties to hord power.

      Yet we are far to divided to put replacing it as the main priority.

    is it really so hard to say “hey we fucked up, the majority of people wanna be in the eu, we’re going to rejoin, lets do it”?

      Yes because sadly like the Tories, Labour are just chasing power and votes and don’t want to upset a majority in their voter base. Otherwise they’d have policies like the Greens and Lib Dems.

        You are correct.

        But how many of the policies the greens or lib dems have. Do they get implement.

        Unfortunatly until voters are prepared to place ending fptp above everything else.

        Only parties able to pull 30 to 40% of vorers will have any real power.

          Agree with that. And sadly those parties play to their extremes to win those majorities. And double sadness is that their extremes are a majority anti EU (when put together) 😔.

            Agreed.

            But lets remember those same parties used rhe EU as an excuse for over 40 years.

            They built that extream. Then expected the ref to go for the EU.

            They built the mess. Fucked up and are now taking advantage of their owb shit slinging.
