a lot of waste in the medical field a specialist told me its cheaper to throw it away than to sterilise it

as a former labour mp its a bit rich she’s criticised another member of parliament seeing as she was shit at her job as well

Was she? How?

[Lilith7]

Was she? How?

Perhaps by being female & a Labour representative...

Nothing wrong with females, everyone should have one

[Oh_hunnihunni]

So, all our representatives must be not female and not Labour?

Hmmmm, interesting position to take.

I feel the same way about men. Thing is they are so expensive to keep, and make so much mess.

But they are very cute.

Have to agree on that; they could have set about dismantling Neo Liberalism but instead just carried on.
 I suspect that any party which states that it will start removing Neo Liberalism as swiftly as possible if voted into govt might just have a landslide victory

Brave of you to assume that the average voter knows what neo liberalism even is

[Oh_hunnihunni]

I think you underestimate the average voter. I do think however, the average voter has ceased to care.

The ones who don't care, don't bother voting at all.

The problem are the ones who care enough to vote, but don't think, don't do research, and don't know what they're doing.

Look at all the American voters who were happy to vote for big tariffs - until they realised afterwards how tariffs actually work.

I suspect that by now, 40 odd years in, with poverty, street beggars, homeless people,eye wateringly high rents & a massive gap between rich & poor AND a generation of older people who simply will not shut up about how it wasn't always like this & does NOT HAVE to be like this, most will have a glimmer of what it is - & how evil it is...

I think we may eventually need to make voting complusory.
