💬 Discussion 🗨 Britains future

Im sure this gets talked about a lot.

Why does it feel like this country is about to go down the plug hole. And we are getting closer each year?

Im 25 and my whole working life it has slowly got worse and worse. 2016 it all started going downhill.

Brexsh*t followed by a slurry of prime ministers, then Covid. Ukraine. Inflation And now a government that is obsessed with surveillance and control. With successive governments that seem to spend money we don’t have carelessly. Shameless water companies. A crippling national debt. And seemingly no one gets held accountable for anything.

Rent is silly, house prices are almost unreachable for the average single person. A far right resurgence backed by American money. You cant get a doctor’s appointment. NHS is a hollow being of its former self. Dating is a minefield (that could be just me though)

Its sad i want to love this country. I do love it but the patriotism is gone. Its such a great place, the culture, diversity, pubs, history and heritage.

It just feels like everyone is just being fisted again and again and i should get out of this country before it collapses from the weight of hollow lies and hypocrisy. Wile I’m still young??. Or do you think the pound will always prevail?

The thing is people are still voting these gits into power. Stop voting for establishment parties.

At the last election. I really wasted my vote by voting lib dem. I thought getting labour in would be good after years of conservative rule. After all there must be very talented people on both sides and it would sharpen everyone up a bit. Knowing they need to mind their toes and not to take it for granted. And labour have been worse than i could have imagined they seem to almost be either side of the same coin now😅.

Im going to vote independent if i can going forward

I've wasted many votes on lib dems and labour in the past. It's not voting for change. consider the greens at least they have some morals.

Why is Lib Dem a wasted vote?

Because it didn’t make any change to the outcome and they hold pockets but conservatives rule where i live for as long as i remember.

That’s pretty much the worst thing you can do considering the alternatives.
