Keir Starmer Announces Resignation

The UK has stagnated before. What's lacking is a Thatcher.

Ever closer union is stuttering in a lot of countries.
Countries rarely decide to shoot itself in the foot, then blame every subsequent leader for not being able to keep up with its peers.
 
I wonder why that is?

Right, because without the EU they are functionally broke. Too broke to afford to maintain services, too broke to raise taxes, but the public want their services and dont want higher taxes.
So just like us? But let's spend 90 billion on a train when we can't afford to service the things we have already.
 
So Altair's position is the UK screwed themselves by parting ways with the countries most accessible to them? Hmmm,..........irony anyone?
 
Well yes,......Mr. Carney's already done his dirty work there.:p
Why are you allowed to get away with trolling?

Anyways, Carney said Brexit was stupid and would negatively harm the UK. UK did it anyways. Now they are up shits creek without a paddle, and people blame Carney for it, despite him saying it was moronic.

And history has proved him right. They should have elected Carney as PM, he might have saved the UK from itself. Too bad for them, we got him.

You go find where I said walk away from USMCA/CUSMA. Please, I would love to see where I said that.

I've said diversify away from the USA and reduce our dependancy on them, and I've said sign a new deal whenever a mentally competent democrat is in office.

So if you're done lying about what I say, maybe lets swing this back to the UK being ungovernable.

..and if one doesn't come quick enough?
 
It is too soon to see of Carney will experience a back bench revolt but the murmurs are there. It must make some of Trudeau's leftovers stifle their so called principles to be part of Carneys government. I have had some great fun with my Hardcore Liberal friends and family members by teasing them that the Harper second term being implemented by Carney seems to have very broad support.

Would a Trudeau have bought 65,402 AR-derived Assault rifles?
Would Trudeau have reduced the Women's Issues department budget from 486 Million to under 80?
Trudeau would have kicked Submarine questions down the street through 2035 if he was still around.
Climate anyone?, and Pipelines for all.
Oh the rumbling and mumbling is there for sure, but the Liberal caucus has never given itself the powers available under the Reform Act so they have no formal mechanism to do anything about it. Also, it's one thing to be disgruntled on the backbenches of a party with a majority government one year in and with a leader still apparently enjoying a honeymoon with the voters. Quite another to be on the backbenches of a majority government half way through it's mandate and with a leader whose approval rating was lower than Liz Truss's, who was herself arguably less popular that a lettuce....

There's a very basic question any Liberal MP feeling the party has moved too far to the (gasp) centre should ask themselves. Is it better to be a disgruntled leftist on this side of the aisle or to check out the view from the seats occupied by the independent MPs otherwise known as the NDP caucus?
 
With our Cabinet sizes running about 25% larger than the average UK government cabinet (30-40 Canada vs 20-30 UK) and our need for about 175 MP's for a majority, you've about about a 20ish% chance in Canada for being a CM vs the 326 MP's at a minimum in the UK. This translates to be about a less than 10% chance of being a CM in the UK.
Add in parliamentary secretaries and committee chairs and really, the odds of getting some post on top of just being an MP are pretty good in Canada.
