Is the cognative bias where people of limited abilites overestimate their skill level, as identified in 1999 by the 2 eponymous psychologists
The Danny Kruger effect is similar, but different
First noticed in September 2025, it is where a reasonable sensible Conservative MP decides that his future is best served by leaping into bed with a rabble of ne'er do wells, racists and bigots led by a man with a striking resemblance to Homer Simpson |  | | |  |

People gave their lives for freedom of speech, the right to vote, equal opportunities for all , then along came the internet, and this is the end result. |  | | |

No, be fair, he's been serving in a rabble of bigots, ne'er do wells and racists fronted by Tesco Value Candace Owens for the past up till now. [Post edited 16 Sep 7:01]

I don't much about the Dunning Kruger effect but am probably an expert 😉
I think it's the theory with the graphic valley of despair as people realise they know nothing about the topic. |  |

Indeed, people did fight and die in the hope of a better society
Which is why I am distraught at the possibility of Farage, N being given the keys to No 10
Because I am convinced he will make everything a great deal worse for everyone but the super rich
If you are a billionaire you don't need the welfare system, the NHS or functioning state schools
But billionaires are rubbing their hands with glee at the anticipated tax cuts for the wealthy and the opportunities that further relaxing of regulatory controls will give them
He really really really doesn't have your or my best interests at heart, he stokes division and hatred as a smokescreen for his agenda of shrinking state involvement
Brexit wasn't really about controlling migration by ending freedom of movement for people, it was about deregulation and avoiding scrutiny
Brexit has, by any metric, made things considerably worse for almost everyone; a 6% hit to GDP, fishing, manufacturing and financial services battered by new restrictions
And Mr Brexit himself is promising to lead us to a new promised land
Indeed, people did fight and die for the right to vote, so I urge everyone to use their vote but think very very carefully before they put their mark on the ballot paper
Not COYB in this case, more FOYT | | | |

You don't have to wait for the next General Election if you think 'Reform' (you know, as in that cheap reformed ham the supermarkets sell) will win. Just move to Argentina:

'When Javier Milei was elected to the office of president in December 2023, his main election promise was to initiate a libertarian recovery economic plan to mitigate the economic crisis and restore the Argentinean economy to normalcy. In January 2024, after a series of economic shock measures were introduced, inflation reached a 32-year high at 211%. President Milei has also announced sweeping cuts in government including attempting to eliminate a large portion of the government ministries.' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018%E2%80%93present_Argentine_monetary_crisis
and
'Argentina’s peso fell 5.49 percent against the US dollar this week, closing at 1,467.41 after days of volatility on the currency markets.
Markets reacted sharply to the ruling party’s defeat in last weekend’s elections for the Buenos Aires Province legislature. The nation’s currency posted its steepest weekly loss since the devaluation of late 2023, when President Javier Milei took office.' https://www.batimes.com.ar/news/economy/peso-posts-sharpest-weekly-fall-since-mi
