#1 A proportional representation system — the norm in most parliamentary systems in Europe — would likely serve to bolster upstart political parties like Nigel Farage’s Reform UK.

In "winner take all" system extremists, eventually, take over major parties. For example: American Democratic Party.

#2 It seems in the British system, politicians on the left don't hide their plans and the voters are fine with that. The so-called "conservatives" announce conservative policies that they not only abandon but work actively against once elected. And for a long time, the voters seemes to be fine with that also.

Maybe that's changing now. I'm not holding my breath.

#9 I wish the main stream media would stop with all of the reporting and stories of how the ANC, et al., are killing the Boer.

Unfortunately, I recently missed the two-hour documentary on how Zimbabwe was transformed into an agricultural and economic power house.

/sarc (just in case....)

#10 Let the Chinese and Russians have it. New and more current definitions of geo-political quagmire will be forthcoming.

Stay out of it and enjoy the popcorn.
