Could this happen in Australia?

The UK govt has only been in power since July 2024. This must be the most dramatic fall from grace ever. Mainly supported by younger people who don’t remember the last labour govt who lost power in 2010.
The labour landslide in July was helped by the appalling ineptitude of the previous Tory govt who swung increasingly left over the last 14 years. Normally first past the post works quite well but this time round only 33% of those who voted opted for labour, who attracted only 20% of the vote from the available electorate.
So no chance whatsoever of Labour being turfed out and I suspect any debate prompted by the petition will be scheduled for last thing friday when MP’s would have already left to go to their constituency.

Discussion with a tech guy – suggests PKI/encryption has ALWAYS had a back door, mathematical proof around prime numbers came out just at start of COVID fraud: https://rumble.com/v5rvqmt-peter-duke-who-rules-the-world-and-the-secret-meaning-behind-doge.html?e9s=src_v1_ucp Interesting to think about implications… Hit pieces always suggest an angle they don’t like. But who knows, really?

It will be interesting to see how Trump does. I got the impression that last time round he wasn’t aware of the true size of the swamp and only paddled around at the edge of it and didn’t do much draining.
This time round he must be much more aware of the size and depth of the swamp and the individuals and organisations inhabiting it.

Another crisis Who knew?

What a difference a day makes.
UK posted 19C, a new record for this late in the year. It was widely 17/18C in the SE, only one Scottish summit lingered around freezing point (because of all the melting snow!).

Wake up, Australia! Our good luck is running out! ‘Unlucky country’ warning from our business leaders. Labor may have ditched the idea of silencing the internet but the concept lives on. Beware the march of the Marxists. After voting them in such a short time ago UK residents are now running a petition to “Loose Labour”. We’ll have our chance early
Other correspondents names and email addresses are pre populating my reply box is anyone else noticing that?

What a difference an Oreshnik makes!
