-Removed-Unions are made up of working people who pay a portion if their union fees to finance a political party that is supposed to defend the interests of working people. How often has the Conservative party had cosy chats with the CBI, if the workers cannot have a party that represents them why should the Businesses or the city.
I agree that labours association with the Trades Union movement costs them at elections but that’s got more to do with how TUs are portrayed by the corporate owned media than the fact of working people having direct overt access to the policy formation of a major political party.

@metal-brain saidDesigned to be, just like in the USA.
So democracy in the UK is a farce too, right?
Still, at least it's not as much of a complete scam as in your Russia.

Come on, you've had Tory governments for the last forty years and unless you make the ridiculous mistake of letting Gurning Liz head the next general election, you'll be in government for at least the next forty as well - if Scotland does manage to secede, for the next one hundred and forty.

@shallow-blue saidWell there was the Blair interlude but I can see where the confusion came from.

Anyway the halfwit has resigned and my prediction is the Mordaunt / Sunak combo
If the two wings of the Tory party keep trying to kill each other it’ll be Starmers turn to run the ship of state onto the rocks

Wow, that's breaking news and no mistake!
What next, finally a general election where the real Englishman, not just the party member, gets a vote?
Nah, can't be allowed. The Party must prevail. Me, I'd vote for Nicola if I were allowed to.

. . . .in the wake of a chaotic vote on Wednesday evening over fracking, which Truss supports but many Conservative MPs oppose. . . .a chaotic scene played out in which the chief whip reportedly announced she was resigning and Truss left the chamber to chase after her — causing both to miss the vote. That episode seemed to sum up Truss' short tenure.
God damn. This is an epic downfall.
