And that simplistic left vs right ideology that you imagine being the only colour of the day says rather a lot.

It's never black and white iamthevirus but always shades of grey.

Actuality as in life it's a duality not shades of grey, that would be very unproductive.

Left-Right tends to make one very flexible within their opposing ideologies of Collectivism-Individualism.

Easy to balance, very Newtonian... one pushes away the other pulls it back, the harder they push the harder you pull.

/shades of grey eh? Is that like changing the definition of vaccine to whatever purpose it suits at any given time? Or any other words for that matter.

Subjectivity or no fixed truth is how I personally view what is wrong with most UK/EU politics.

Quantum politics if you will...

Indeed shades of grey.

I see you feel the need to introduce anti-vaccine nonsense to a thread about UK politics.

Have to wonder why that is?

Now if you have a command of the English language like you claim, im sure i don't need to explain how semantic progression works or how meanings change over time.

As to your quantum politics nonsense, well you or i don't exist in the quantum realm but at the macro scale, so there is that.

Boris is said to have more than the required 100 backers , Rishi Sunak is expected to declare his intention to run soon so expect BoJo will follow that.

Dummies are being thrown out of prams as we speak.

Despite having the backing of several cabinet ministers, the former prime minister remains a divisive figure - and some Tory MPs have threatened to withdraw the party whip if he returns

I look forward to watching their bottom lips quivering on Friday.

Madness. Madness!

Well British politics are very quantum, a lot like a nested Russian doll, or peeling away layer after layer to get to a center of imagined purity.

Newtonian politics such as in the US would rather study, explore and glean what one can about each layer.

The left eats their own, and the entire political theatre over there is left (Collectivist/Globalist in nature because of Colonialism), the liberal-rights are playing on a stage which only has left-angles and left exits.

Nested Russian dolls are not quantum nether, so there is that.

What does " inbthe" mean?

Not many political ideologies that are not multilayered and faceted in this day of age iamthevirus.

The left eats their own, and the entire political theatre over there is left, the liberal-rights are playing on a stage which all exit left.

Aye the Tories are ""liberal and left-wing"". LoL

Hence all that austerity all over the shop and Brexit shenanigans.

Not quite sure what planet you are on sometimes buddy but the view must be spectacular.

The stage part i tend to agree as "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players".

Don't make politicians nice people all the same considering their motivations are their own and seldom do they have people's best interest at heart unless it's their own ilk.

I don't like those Russian dolls.

They're full of themselves .

Damn I must have hit a nerve, you're dissecting my s#it... yeah we don't play that over here.

Colonialism, "collectivism" the opposite of individualism, your entire political theatre is built upon that foundation.

a reply to: iamthevirus

No, it isn't.

Without colonialism your country wouldn't even exist. Shot yourself in the foot there old chap.

No our country wouldn't exist if for not Individualism. If we wanted to stay collectivist we'd be Canada lol.

Newtonian Politics and the Constitution, you'll have to read up the expressions.

The makers of the Constitution seem to have thought of the President as what the stricter Whig theorists wished the king to be:

We're just awesome, admit it!

That would be Native Indian Americans then.

Unless you do know what those 13 Stripes on your flag represent.

I think Truss has gone into hiding and Boris cut his holiday short so are we swopping one blonde idiot for another? I bloody hope not but then if Sunak was any slimier there'd be a slug named after him so we don't need him either.....

a reply to: alldaylong

ahh say my name, say my name, say uncle!

Natives? you referring to how the Canadian government treats their native population? with exorbitant prices for everything and complaints falling on deaf ears.

Native Americans have casinos, free cell service, free internet, subsidized free energy and no taxes..

All Americans patronize the reservations.

a reply to: alldaylong

For how many hundred of years were British slaughtering Native Americans before US became a breakaway colony... since the 1500's is it?

Yeah there was bound to be some bad blood preventing everyone from working things out.

a reply to: iamthevirus

Any chance of getting back on topic?

It's not your Country's very short history.

Native Americans must be jumping for joy. They see all that as fantastic compensation for the millions of acres of land and natural resources stolen from them.

We don't take lectures from Americans who carried out their own atrocities against Native American Indians.

The Trail of Tears was a series of forced displacements of approximately 60,000 American Indians of the "Five Civilized Tribes" between 1830 and 1850 by the United States government.[3] Part of the Indian removal, the ethnic cleansing was gradual, occurring over a period of nearly two decades

Well the topic is kind of toast isn’t it? You just need another onion to peel to the center.

a reply to: alldaylong

There's about 2 and 1/2 centuries of conflict, war, death and misery on this timeline before the Stars and Stripes of the American flag appear.

They don't skip over this history in the British public education system do they?

a reply to: iamthevirus

Not toast.

There is the small matter of our getting a new PM, Boris, etc?
