  • The tirade of childish and unreasoned replies just confirms my theory that thought has been shelved in favour of popularity in your little dog-whistle echo-chamber.

    So who/what is going to cause true debate in Parliament, to stop them filling their own pockets, and make them accountable to the people - by who I mean, young/old, rich/poor, North/South ?

  • So who/what is going to cause true debate in Parliament

    Populism isn't true debate, it's the opposite. It's the appeal to (and manipulation of) raw emotion and base instinct. It disdains actual debate, saying that there are "typical people" out there whom political debate is ignoring and whom the populist doesn't have to define.

    your little dog-whistle echo-chamber

    Do you even understand the term dog-whistle? A dog whistle is, for example, Farage saying Sunak "doesn't understand our culture", letting the racists know he's saying Sunak is the wrong colour/religion to be properly British without quite saying it out loud. Dog whistles are what Farage and his ilk use to let some people know he considers them those "typical people". I think the people disagreeing with you here have been fairly explicit about why, not hiding behind code words.
