The strange thing is people think it's about politics...

I said this 2 years ago when everyone was celebrating Starmers win like they personally won something.

Whoever is in power will have almost no influence over the wheels that run the UK.

Whoever is in power has virtually no influence over the world's economy either.

The public get duped into the next shiny object they think will change everything.
Farage or the greens will also promise things they cannot deliver.
The promises never work almost 100% of the time.

Nobody wants to hear this because they want to believe their "team" is the answer to all the problems.

It always ends in disappointment.
