Better to be lucky than good?

Well..

Interesting. Starmer appears to be a lucky politician at this point, and as we know it's much better to be lucky than good. 

How Joe Biden did not fall asleep in the presence of the Bollard is a mystery. He would have had a perfectly understandable excuse in this instance.

Bojo came in on a wave of enthusiasm and bluster, but then covid stuck...  Keith's  luck could run out with boat invasions, a fomenting islamic insurrection, early release prisoners running amok, Russia getting impatient, and mad Ed Milliband, Or even the next WEF/WHO hoax - or maybe a plague of locusts being snuck in with boat invaders.

Or even a massive solar flare from the present peak of solar activity... Or maybe everyone waking up from the strange post election trance, and being asked to explain how he can claim to have a serious mandate with only one in five of the Electorate voting for him.

Starmer's startlingly fraudulent government could be over a lot quicker than anyone who has believed, the frantic efforts of the BBC and other media to overlook the elephant in the voting booth.

Why, you ask is the Conservative Party not driving home this point? The answer is probably that forcing this argument to end Starmer's fantasy administration would inevitably lead to the loss of the first past the post electoral system. Which the tories would gamble would still be in their best interests of an absolute majority in the long run.

However,  I would argue the ideas on offer at realdemocracy.uk provide the basis for a far more grown up and creative solution that can provide the best of fptp and pr by engaging the electorate in a process that is a lot more meaningful than once every five years.

Of course the uni party would hate it, since it is proves the point that voting can make a real difference - something that politicians have been trying to avoid for 100 years.
