Conservative politicians. The same all over the planet, greedy evil selfish shitheads. Served by their base who are mostly greedy evil selfish shitheads too.

They use wedge issues to maintain power in our 'first past the post' system. They're desperately trying to latch onto and exacerbate any wedge issues between now and Jan 2025 in a desperate bid to stay in office. I warned my friends of this a couple of years ago.

Old vs young (pensions triple lock, inheritance tax); straight vs lgbt; lgb and angry straights vs trans; middle class vs 'scrounger' lower class; residents vs immigrants; these are the wedges they are trying to exploit.
