I wonder how long it will be before the UK regrets their vote for labor?
In a couple of years folks in England will be begging the Russians to invade them.
As we speak.
Second Biden or Harris admin would look just like that.
UK seems to have a radical switch in parties in about 15 year cycles since Thatcher, more frequently before that....
Labour didn't receive a majority of the vote (only 34%) but won nearly 2/3 of seats of Parliament, giving them a huge majority.
so even even if they are only in control for 5 years, they can do incredible damage to the UK in that time.
Under the UK parliamentary system, there is virtually nothing that can stop the new governing party from doing everything it wants to do during the next five yearss, especially with its huge majority in the House of Commons. There are no mid-term elections, no divided government, and no equivalent of the Supreme Court. The Labor Party received only one-third of the votes, but got 66 percent of the seats. They will try to enact a radical program for which they have no mandate -

The whole country didn’t vote for Labor.
I hope not very long, and I hope the French regret voting the commies in.
They only got 1/3 of the votes, but 2/3 of the seats in parliament.
Reform UK (Nigel Farage) got 14% of the votes, but only 4 seats (~1% of all seats).
The Liberal Democrats got 12% of the votes, but 76 seats (~11% of all seats).
I guess every voting system has its drawbacks.
