What a complete waste of time and money this election was. It has achieved nothing. The general public have begun to see how pathetic and unsuitable he is as a serious & functioning politician. Hustler, con-man, spiv, there is no way he will REFORM. nicklowles.substack.com/p/farage-win...

Farage wins, but the stench of sleaze is hard to shake off

The Reform leader might have survived the Clacton standing count, but he and his party are still on the ropes.

The present version of democracy in much of today's world does not bode well for the concept of capitalism. The rich and therefore powerful rule, often by fraud, sleaze, lies and violence. Religion is a false premise. As such society must change, otherwise democracy will fail big time. #equality

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.
