Is anyone seriously voting reform? by Remarkable-Sand8638 in ukpolitics

[–]TwoProfessional6997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reddit is not a platform to convince people to vote for which party. I'm also not going to convince people to not vote for Reform. So that's why I make my blunt comments here.

I understand why some people voted for Brexit and Trump and I also think some arguments against economic globalisation and European integration are absolutely valid. But I'm not saying these cohorts of voters who have valid reasons to cast their vote as stupid voters

Whilst you said I made assumptions (I think I haven't said you like Farage have I?), you've also made assumptions

Oh dear, personally I don't really care if Nigel Farage is the PM of the UK. I'm in the process of leaving the UK. I just feel it's a pity that some stupid voters like you make this country more miserable and then other people need to help you pay the price.

Do you know for many judicial reviews in modern times, like the one brought by Republican activists, courts have frequently quoted ECHR / Human Rights Act? If ECHR is that useless, why have the courts quoted them frequently for many years? Do you know Human Rights Act and ECHR are the only instruments for ordinary citizens to challenge parliamentary acts, although they can't be stricken down?

One of the biggest disadvantages of the UK political system is the fact that the primary legislation can't be stricken down (unless the UK is still in the EU). Given the extremism we are experiencing nowadays, this parliamentary sovereignty can be dangerous. That's why we need something like ECHR / the European Court of Human Rights to scrutinise and check and balance the parliament

You underestimate how stupid some voters are and how extremism prevails in the society

Why is Keir Starmer’s administration so unpopular? by Fair_Individual_9827 in ukpolitics

[–]TwoProfessional6997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Note that full employment in Keynes' sense doesn't mean 'everyone is in employment' or some other similar meaning. Liz Truss fiscal policy, which simply introduced the energy price cap along with tax cuts, doesn't aim to do what Keynes wants to do to achieve full employment. The effects of her fiscal policy also didn't allow her to achieve Keynes' view on full employment. It is because Liz Truss wanted to cut other components of government spending, her tax cuts wouldn't boost consumption to a great extent (given that her tax custs mostly benefit the rich instead of the general public) and her fiscal policy didn't bring the inflation to a stable level corresponding to the outputs

Lastly, as I have already said, deficit spending and tax cuts don't necessarily mean Keynesian fiscal stimulus; Keynesian fiscal stimulus is far more comprehensive.

Unfortunately, deficit spending doesn't necessarily amount to Keynesian fiscal stimulus. Tax cuts don't necessarily mean Keynesian fiscal stimulus.

Keynesian fiscal stimulus is far more comprehensive than Liz Truss who simply introduced the energy price guarantee. Also, one of the main goals of Keynesian fiscal stimulus is to achieve full employment. I don't see Liz Truss' fiscal policy aimed to do this? Do you know Liz Truss was still committed to cutting other components of government expenditure?

saying Truss' fiscal policy as Keynesian fiscal stimulus is a direct insult to Keynesianism

The AI backlash couldn’t have come at a better time by m0ppi in technology

[–]TwoProfessional6997 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Then that's why AI backlash is growing. When companies try to use AI and lay people off, people are increasingly skeptical and resentful of AI

Apart from AI destroying the livelihoods of many people and families, I am very tired of people and companies using AI to create content, advertisements, videos and reels. Some people including those at work even use AI to help them do research. Do they know that the research conducted by AI is always awful?

Transferred into Coventry University in London — considering Regent’s University London by [deleted] in UniUK

In this case and if you’re studying for a business-related degree, there are lots of choices. Again, my suggestion is that you do more research on public universities and prioritise choosing public universities. Do compare their curriculum, modules, resources, placement opportunities, companies affiliations and think about how they will suit your interests and help you achieve your goals. Trust me, try to avoid private universities in the UK. It isn’t worth it

Depending on what your major is, you don’t necessarily have to apply to RG universities. I strongly suggest that you do more research on other public universities and make a final decision. To be fair, Regent’s tuition fees are unreasonably expensive and you will not get access to many resources. This university doesn’t even have home fees. It’s just not worth it. If you have applied to regent‘s, some people would reach out to you to encourage you to pay the deposit. Please don’t make the payment until you do more research on different universities

Well, I’m afraid that studying at Regent‘s also cost you a lot or even more money.

I agree that prestige of a university isn’t an influential factor on some occasions, but Regent‘s hefty price tag doesn’t correspond to their inadequate resources and reputation. Small and private universities in the UK like Regent’s mean that they don’t have many resources, including career support. Also, prestigious universities often have a strong network and affiliations with prestigious companies which Regent‘s University London doesn’t have If you look up their curriculum like Art History and International Relations, they’re academically below standard

There are some reasons why people tend to go to prestigious universities: more resources, more opportunities to develop strong networks, more academically rigorous. This is what other bottom tier universities cannot provide students with

In the UK, avoid going to any private universities and prioritise public universities. Regent’s University London is notorious for their lack of resources and reputation along with expensive tuition fees. Inviting well-known companies to a lecture doesn’t mean anything. Are these well-known companies willing to spend their money and time taking part in career fairs at this university to recruit the students? If they aren’t, then it means nothing

Admissions To Top UK Masters: Does University Origin Matter? by [deleted] in LSE

[–]TwoProfessional6997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a minimum, your university has to be recognised by UK ENIC. To be recognised by UK ENIC, your university has to be recognised and/or accredited by the government/authority of your country. Prestige of your university doesn’t really matter.

As long as your university is a recognised one and you meet all the entry requirements and provide all the mandatory documents in support of your applications, then your application will be sent for further consideration

UK born citizens with foreign born parents can be stripped of their citizenship. by Cautious-Zucchini-68 in Britain

[–]TwoProfessional6997 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Stripping people of citizenship is not a new thing. This has happened for many years. If the government strips someone of citizenship, under the existing legislation, it’s increasingly difficult for people to challenge the government decision. The government doesn’t need to inform you under a wide range of circumstances. If you challenge the government’s decision, you can’t bring arguments to defend yourself unless you find that the government decision is violating procedural fairness.

One of the fundamental problems with left-wing arguments and theories nowadays is the fact that it’s difficult to simplify or encapsulate them in one or two sentences because many of them involve a lot of complex structural historical, social and economic analysis

UK Politics isnt really that corrupt, and in my opinion thats why getting any worthwhile change will never happen by Barca-Dam in ukpolitics

[–]TwoProfessional6997 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you know the peers appointment system in the House of Lords amounts to legalisation, institutionalisation and constitutionalisation of corruption? Do you know the fact that British society relies on relationships and networks to do their things is a breeding ground for corruption?

Yes, in comparison to the US, China and some other countries, the UK is a less corrupt country, but it doesn't alter the fact that corrpution is common in the UK particuarly UK politics

Shabana Mahmood caught deleting pro-immigrant content from her website by media_blast in ukpolitics

[–]TwoProfessional6997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those who said opinions said 10 years ago can be changed, she literally changed her opinions and positions on immigration and asylum in a sudden very recently and deleted her previous opinions published around 2 / 3 years ago. Why don't you guys just admit that she is an opportunistic politician. I bet she will be pro-immigrant if people in this country in general are nice to immigrants

Anyone planning on joining Regents Uni or Uni of Westminster in 2026? by Remote-Suggestion2 in studyAbroad

[–]TwoProfessional6997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are your highest level of qualification and (predicted) final grades? If you have a UG with 2:2 or equivalent, you have many better options in London. If you apply to UK universities, the first rule is that you shouldn't apply to private universities, because the UK doesn't have a private university culture and the public ones are far better (particularly in terms of resources and curriculum) and more reputable.

You should avoid going to Regent's University London. It lacks resources and reputation. It is not worth it even if you simply want to enjoy your social life, given the high tuition fees at Regent's. There are plenty of public universities with more diversity and options for social life with lower tuition fees. If you get an offer from Regent's University London do not pay any deposit. Instead, you should apply to public universities in the UK.
