  • Something I’ve been mulling over, there’s never been a landslide majority government during my adult life when I was engaged with politics and don’t have any experience of it... Are we fully at the mercy of Boris and the Tory government for the next 5 years? Is there anything the opposition can do and what can we do other than try and help the people in need in our local communities?

  • This government can and will do as they please. The Lords and the Supreme Court could provide some checks in the short term, but likely both will be neutered (one by further stuffing with Tory peers; the other by whatever Cummings has planned as revenge for overturning the illegal prorogue).

  • This government can and will do as they please.

    And have stated as much in their manifesto - abolishing the Fixed-term Parliaments Act, gerrymandering, voter ID, consitutional reform, etc...

    We're in for 15+ years, I reckon.
