If you're thinking of emigrating to Europe and you're not so young think again perhaps

Farage like him or not gives the disenfranchised, disenchanted and marginalised a voice that was clearly lacking before he and his party came along.

I suppose that's one way to describe that minority.

Is this actually true, or another one of those massive Brexshiitty lies, like the "straight banana" lies so often thrown around? Citation would be nice.

Google it. Had they even just given a tiny bit to Cameron the referendum probably wouldn't have come about.

• 2nd place for feminism no surprise as half the poll were women - or identified as such.
• democracy for some unaccountable reason fails to appear as an ideology
• no religious ideologies
• it is somewhat surprising the Greens managed just 4 seats and less than 7% of the vote

May be meaningful - but far from convinced to put it mildly. Less diplomatically - if it looks like rubbish, smells like rubbish, garbage!!

How awful.

• democracy for some unaccountable reason fails to appear as an ideology

Presumably because it isn't one.

• no religious ideologies

OK, not its subject I guess. Islamo-fascists go in the fascist box with the Christian white supremacists.

• it is somewhat surprising the Greens managed just 4 seats and less than 7% of the vote

General elections are multi-valent by their nature

May be meaningful - but far from convinced to put it mildly. Less diplomatically - if it looks like rubbish, smells like rubbish, garbage!!

I recognise that remark from the above.

OK...who on this forum thinks Starmer et al are doing a sterling job? OK let's make it easier, who thinks they are doing an OK job?

Who thinks Starmer et al's budget will stimulate growth and create jobs?

What percentage of the population thinks Starmer is a trustworthy PM?

If there was an election tomorrow, do you think Labour would win with the same level of victory or even win?

While you're at it name ONE successful truly socialist country?

Only the deluded

Who thinks Starmer et al's budget will stimulate growth and create jobs?

See above

What percentage of the population thinks Starmer is a trustworthy PM?

A grudging 1%

If there was an election tomorrow, do you think Labour would win with the same level of victory or even win?

Only the deluded

While you're at it name ONE successful truly socialist country?

Ooh, I know the answer to this one. There aren’t any.

The French health care model is an interesting one.
The most important point that I think ought to be highlighted is that French healthcare insurance providers are not permitted to make profit.

So how does that work?
Swiss Life, one of many listed providers of ‘top up’ health insurance in France, made 1.5 billion CHF profit last year. Is the part of their business that provides health insurance in France ring fenced to be non-profitable? Just because everyone refers to them as ‘mutuelles’ does not prove they are run like a mutual society. Many such providers are insurance companies.
I am not saying your statement is untrue, just curious to have some further info.
