    Perhaps.

    I’m less optimistic. The world over voters seem to be drawn towards these populist assholes, and I think it’s important to note that the UK is not an exception, despite the labour victory.

      Starmers first few speeches in power actually make me optimistic, and I didn’t vote for him. If he can truly deliver on being “country before party”, and making “personal gain the politics of the past”. It’s only a words right now, but the cabinet appointments (especially the 3 from outside the party) look good.

      It’s all down to results.
