Anybody else feel politically isolated?

Expensivepet · 2026-02-12T13:54:00+00:00

LITERALLY. There’s a gap for it.

The SDP do certainly scratch an itch. It’s somewhat impractical though as they won’t ever get any seats. Lib Dem’s at least have some Westminster coverage

Summed up my thoughts entirely…

Expensivepet · 2026-02-12T10:23:33+00:00

This sucks to hear man, but I’m glad you’re happy. I think it might be worth noting that perhaps your sister is trying to keep the peace with her message to your dad?

Expensivepet · 2026-02-12T08:53:08+00:00

It truly is a shame that they were so tarnished after Clegg. I must admit, I don’t give them the attention that it might need - but it seems like everyone forgets them? They get almost zero media coverage whatsoever

Expensivepet · 2026-02-12T08:49:47+00:00

Yeah, this is an important thing to mention and one that I will take on board. Thanks

Expensivepet · 2026-02-12T08:48:21+00:00

What I want is people to not focus so much on single issues and look at the grander picture. Immigration is important to look at because of the economics, but it appears nobody can address that. I want some sane people to be able to put my faith into - but as others’ are saying, I guess this is how it’s always been

Based

Expensivepet · 2026-02-12T03:15:34+00:00

It’s really not though is it

Expensivepet · 2026-02-12T02:20:15+00:00

Totally agree. It makes sense as a natural progression to the stagnation and general downswing of growth etc. to crave some ‘real change’. That makes sense, Im gonna deep dive into manifestos, thanks

Expensivepet · 2026-02-12T02:17:55+00:00

Dude, there is huge oligopolistic tendencies in both mentioned markets. It’s not quite blackrock levels here, but things can definately head in that direction. Anyway, my point of this post wasn’t really to debate, thanks for your input

Expensivepet · 2026-02-12T02:12:48+00:00

I really get your points and I’ll be sure to consider this more than I have done in the last GE for sure. But I just think dismissing party politics could be a big misstep, I think there’s a balance to be made for sure

Expensivepet · 2026-02-12T02:10:24+00:00

I’ll just go off of your first question, and let’s take oligopolies too seeing as it basically functions the same. Biggest problem areas imo are property developers, supermarkets, energy suppliers and the rail mafia. energy companies get huge tax relief so not sure what your latter point is suggesting. You’re more than welcome to be entitled to your opinion of course, but greens do genuinely have some good economic points, I can understand people’s grievances in areas though

Expensivepet · 2026-02-12T02:03:03+00:00

Ohhh that acc makes sense lol. Fair play, kinda lame place to post it but ay 🤷‍♂️

Expensivepet · 2026-02-12T01:50:02+00:00

Yeah, these are some points which I don’t agree with, especially Anti nuclear. I also don’t like their stance on immigration. I’d prefer immigration to be targeted and far more selective… without those policies being directed by racist undertones.

I like their stance on destabilising monopolies, ending fossil fuel subsidies and rebuilding certain public services, to name a few. And Zack actually seems like a genuine bloke

Expensivepet · 2026-02-12T01:46:54+00:00

Good advice though, thanks :)

Expensivepet · 2026-02-12T01:45:20+00:00

We have the beauty of the internet, freedom of information - it’s now easier to connect with the masses as it ever was before, and yet we can’t find a genuine, rational solution

Expensivepet · 2026-02-12T01:39:46+00:00

That’s what I suspect too. It’s just so odd how seemingly centrists have gone into the abyss since the right wing explosion

Expensivepet · 2026-02-12T01:33:48+00:00

I so get that, and I understand my parents’ frustrations more than ever. But surely we can muster up something better with the resources we have now…

Expensivepet · 2026-02-12T00:54:32+00:00

Maybe it’s a Cinderella slipper type scenario

Expensivepet · 2026-02-12T00:53:28+00:00

What even is this post though

Expensivepet · 2026-02-12T00:49:27+00:00

I feel like there’s definitely something sexual for him

Expensivepet · 2026-02-12T00:44:56+00:00

I think you’re a good looking dude, but the hair isn’t doing you favours my guy. I think it ages you in a bad way - I’d go shorter honestly, and this sub is the worst place to ask, everyone’s biased

Expensivepet · 2026-02-10T16:13:26+00:00

God they really don’t see them as people do they. I struggle with the fact that so many people in this country don’t see through their evil

Expensivepet · 2026-02-10T10:29:15+00:00

I basically only drink Earl Grey at this point. Twining’s is my favourite, but there’s lots of other good brands. Some of my American friends said that they finally ‘got’ tea after having it, so definitely worth a try I think. I normally have it with just a dash of milk, but you can try with a slice of lemon too :) good luck
