I agree. It's all become very tribal.

Seems to me there's far too many people in politics these days who are lusting for personal power. Inevitably they're the ones who will do anything to get themselves into powerful positions.

Politics would be very different if anyone standing for election had to be able to demonstrate a level of self awareness and emotional intelligence before they could put themselves forward

MPs have to declare if they have a rental property that generates more than £10,000 a year income. There are 85 MPs who declare themselves as landlords under this definition. This includes 44 Labour MPs. MPs own 184 rental properties between them. What has gone wrong with our politics and with the Labour Party? Why are so many very rich people in Parliament supposedly to speak on our behalf?

Typical politician, tows the dreadful party line rather than give an honest answer. #BrokenPolitics #electionnow

Much of Canada is on fire, much of the East Coast and Midwest have been under a layer of smoke, yet watching the news the threats of today are trans women and affirmative action in university admissions?

@aldanacohen Present that to one or more of truly independent transparent binding #CitizensAssemblies and you could get a fast result.
Present #BrokenPolitics looks as if leading to The Xi win where racism is reportedly rampant. They don't do equality as women in China dare not tell you.
