Totally agree, I think both major parties in the UK are appalling. We look at the USA and think how could that happen, but the weanesses of the UK system and the unwillingness to change may well see a similar outcome here at some point in the future. If Boris were Trump and Trump would have got elected in the UK, what chances it would have been Westminster rather than Washington.There were also a lot of labour defectors up north. Corbyn was that bad.
Democracy is precious but it is also fragile. Boris in particular doesn't respect it, ignoring Parliament using the pandemic excuse not to have legislation scrutinised is really unacceptable in a democracy, irrespective of political party.
