    To be fair, the issue (or at least my point) here is not that they didn’t magically fix everything. It’s that they actively introduced things (like the online safety act) and are continuing to pursue things (like extending it to vpns) which didn’t exist before and are hostile towards online privacy.

    I do agree about the general mentality being outrage based which benefits the right.

    It’s actually quite interesting to look at the party manifestos in England Vs Scotland for the same parties. Reform UK has seen some success in the recent Scottish election and I believe part of it is that their “Scottish” manifesto reads closer to a regular conservative party (so only medium insane), whereas it’s batshit insane in England. I don’t think a lot of people compare those, despite it being the same party.

      Yes I understand being pissed off at some horrible legislation but focusing on single events and painting an entire picture will destroy any politician. Focusing on his worst legislation ignores all the good stuff he has passed and makes people think the left is just as bad when objectively that is not the case.

      Like even looking at the online safety act. Thats popular legislation with majority support. Think of all the things that wouldnt have happened under a conservative government, rail nationalization, strengthen labour laws, green energy expansion and reform, prison reform.

      All his biggest controversy kind of pales in comparison to the good done. So to throw all that out just seems very stupid to me.
