Apologies SE1… I have amended my error
If only we could amend the error of people voting in Boris?
Not that difficult Unstableblue - just give them a suitable alternative. JC as leader and Diane Abbot as Home Sec, did not appeal last time. You do the maths

We will never know but they may have found their feet and done a job - it should be clear by now that Boris Johnson never will.

The Great British Public will be the judge of that of course - they usually get it right. The conference season starts soon - be a good judge to see what the odds are after they have taken place.

I have no problem with the joke. What’s annoying is that the underlying message of it being easy and technology sorting this out is woefully inadequate.
In the same way saying don’t worry about Covid and measures we need to take now and over a longer period because technology will just come along with a vaccine. Unfortunately that view and how easy it was seemed to pervade the UK government’s thinking until it was too late.
Of course, with climate change, it’s technology plus some relatively hard choices and sacrifices that will make the necessary difference. And a perfect time to reset for developed countries that are now seeing constant growth and a focus on GDP not leading to the same quality of life benefits as before.

Depends what you mean by "right"....
But remember, in nearly all GEs more people don't vote for the incoming Govt than do - it's just the way the votes are sliced into parliamentary seats that distorts the overall "will of the people"
Just one small problem; sell their houses to who, Ben? Fcking Aquaman?

I entirely agree with you EO and it is always the parties that lose that decry our voting system. I am very open minded about it personally but do so wish that more than the usual 65% - 70% of the electorate would actually use their vote. All of our political parties ignore the young most of the time. We need to engage much better with the say 18 - 25 age group to encourage them to go out and vote. I'm not really in favour of coalitions though....

Ahem, in Scotland the 16-18 year olds get a say in some elections too (you can register to vote from 15 up here.)

You'd be livid if Starmer did it
As I said, it’s not the joke it’s the underlying message I have a problem with. But don’t worry I’m sure I’ll have a problem with Starmer too considering he seems equally uninterested in addressing the wider economic picture of climate change and its challenges.
Stick to boring people with your football trolling. You’re a deeply unserious and self-obsessed person but at least it doesn’t come across as badly there.

Hey, I see nothing wrong with that at all. Lowering the age of voting to say 16 would not be a bad thing in my opinion. My point is all parties need to engage with youngsters a lot more. I have for a considerable time advocated having say a 'Minister for The Young' (call it what you will!) and making it a cabinet position.

Welcome to my world Darth.
Humans need a reset of what they value... going for a walk in pristine nature, experiencing clean air, water and environment, interacting with fish, bird and mammal is more valuable than monetary gain.... its just how we make decisions based on value... every day there is news of lost habitat, species... did you know the beautiful German forests are dying due to temp increase..
We also need to re-evaluate growth as a positive force; growth can be measured in improve society and environment and happiness
But even if you went back to the old valuation methods, the cost of climate change, the cost of making infrastructure resilient, actually outweighs what is would cost to truly green, BUT you have to take a 40 year return on investment view.. not the usual 5-10 years.
Built environment, pouring new concrete needs a complete rethink as well.
Obviously what is of most value is getting Ipswich into the Premier League.. they could tarmac rendlesham forest to achieve that.... wibble wibble... nurse nurse
PS - talking about kermit the frog and miss piggy being upset in some rambling incoheret style, really isn't a joke, it makes the UK look like a joke

Couldn’t agree more. And I think the short-termism of politics and especially the political news cycle is at the core of the problem. Both the problem and the solution have a scope way beyond those narrow limits.
So if we want cross-border consensus, we first need consensus across the UK political parties re: a proportionate response so it’s hard-baked into our policy-making and budgets whoever is in charge. It’s pretty much a cross-party War Cabinet position that needs to be taken.
