Nah, they have a choice between a party on the right and a niche party on the left who concentrate on infighting and the working class only. The left leaning middle class are homeless as nobody targets them properly. Very much IMHO

The gravitate to to the Lib Dems, but once they realise what a waste of a vote that is they go Tory.

idk, maybe its the same all over but can't help feeling right now that this country is particularly enthusiastic about electing the most monumentally craven & incompetent idiots available.
I think it's something to do with how deeply stratisfied we are, that Eton accent people confuse it with competence, i don't think it's as bad elsewhere in other countries.

Yeah, I know it feels like that, but always worth remembering that, even in their 2019 electoral triumph, of the 47,587,254 UK citizens registered to vote, only 13,966,454 actually voted for the bunch of cunts.

Yeah, if there was a pandemic that made people stop using water and stop needing a postal service it might totally happen.

I think people tend to vote for the person they aspire to be. The UK want to be thick and rich. The USA want to be thick and rich. I haven't done much research into other countries.

The last two elections had manifestos for a gamut of renationalisations written clearly on the tin

Yes, one faction of the left party of capital did include some re-nationalisation in their party's 2017 & 2019 GE manifestos, but it's now pretty clear that other factions of that party controlling the bureaucracy, administration and finances worked to ensure those commitments could not be realised under a Corbyn-led government.
The wrecking faction(s) have now wrested back control of policy formulation and I think we can be pretty certain that the right of the party will not be offering re-nationalisations as a central plank of their future offer.

Amazingly the ship that got stuck in the canal is still there, they have just agreed a ransom to pay and it will be freed on Wednesday: Ever Given: Egypt agrees deal to release ship that blocked Suez Canal

More evidence, if it were needed, of Labour’s disappeared vote among leave voters.
In amongst all of the outpouring of psephology following the defeat in Hartlepool and the narrow win in Batley the long terms consequences of Labour’s accommodation with the middle class remain demand for a second referendum is consistently underplayed. Wonder why those at the forefront of that clamour - either for continuity remain reasons, or to try to do Corbyn in or both - constantly overlook this in their various explanations of where Labour’s votes have gone, why and who is responsible for it?

Agree, though Leave Remain also has huge culture war dimensions to it, well beyond any issues of the EU. One of the reasons the referendum was so toxic.

Another story which suggests that the shortage of lorry drivers and shortages of goods on supermarket shelves some may have experienced is not simply the result of "Brexit", and also that the government doesn't want to take the necessary steps to solve the problem.

Project Fear/The Guardian's 100,000 shortage appears to have reduced to 60,000 in ... checks notes ... 4 days.
It's a funny old thing how this has happened time and again over ... checks notes ... 5 years. Never once do Remoaners twig ...

That lame "...checks notes..."; heuristic of those who actually check very little.

Yes, Brexit has created some labour shortages and eggs have to be broken before making etc.
