Nigel Farrage’s party is almost certainly far right compared to the status quo.

its not about 13 seats. They got more than half the vote share the conservatives had. If the conservatives wanna win that voteshare back, they are gonna need to move even further right, which is worrying.

I’m not talking about SNP loosing seats but about reform winning seats.

And I’m talking about the prospects of the citizens of the united kingdom, not a political structure.

The center (slight left leaning) party won by a landslide because everyone was fed up with the right wing party who’d been in charge for 14 years.

The far-right party went from 0 to 13 seats in a single election (think the MAGA of england basically). Since the center-right party lost so bad, people are scared the far right party will have more influence on the right and ultimately lead to the center right party either merging with the far right party or being more radical to “meet them”.

One could make the parallels to when Macron won the election with a centrist coalition a couple years ago, but in the process heavily weakened the center right party, which ultimately lead to the rise of the far right.

Ignoring that though. The center-(left) government will be much better than the government we had before.

Reform 4th biggest party surpassing the SNP. Terrible news for the long term prospects of the country.

Although in the medium term, this labour majority will be a breath of fresh air.

Yo nice to meet you I have v. severe ME/CFS from a covid infection a couple years ago.

I’m fully bedridden, unable to speak, and tubefed.

Worth noting that this study only tested uptil two years. It’s not like it disappeared after two years.

I’m praying we don’t fall asleep in the second half as is all too common with our team

It’s not Corbyn labour, it’s Starmer labour, which is Tories lite TM.

Am I the only one who always reads Bardella instead of Barella. Man I’m scared for the french elections.

I think it’s sound. Ban really low quality news (daily mail), state sponsered propaganda outlets, and far right trash. The list is relatively short.

I got blasted in a c/world thread because I used it to show a source that was untrustworthy. And ppl were saying its the factcheckerbias tool is unreliable cuz it rates the NYT as “factual”. I was suprised to get so much pushback.

downloading :)

yep. They are by no means perfect, but their competition rates AP and Reuters as left leaning lol, so they are the best we’ve got that I know of.

Disgusting. Still would vote labour over the tories, but as a disabled person who can’t work due to illness, I feel every major party just wants me to choose assisted suicide and “stop stealing hardworking people’s money”.

Had never heard of this source before, glad to hear it’s legit, but what an awful story :(
