Keir Starmer Announces Resignation

[Altair]

Germany and France recently had political crises that exceeded the bounds of a PM being ejected by his own party which, in Britain at least, is not considered unusual. I am confident there will be more.

Finally some light humour. "Ungovernable" is a laughing-stock word among people who have noticed that almost every time political establishments run into difficulty having their way, the country is pronounced "ungovernable". It is about as useful a word as "robust".

Its ungovernable because the electorate is asking for the impossible.

How does one maintain services like the NHS and pump more money into the military, without raising taxes or borrowing more? All the while stuck with lower growth due to brexit.

Two parties have tried, two parties are going through leaders faster than it takes to go from olympic hosts.

Sure, give reform the reins, its the same math. Math the electorate doesnt seem to understand or care about.

At least when Chretien and Martin had to slash federal spending the public knew it had to be done. Chretien wasnt ousted because of it, Martin didnt have his career ended.

The UK is incapable of that it seems.
