We are basically being run by a hard right cadre of the tory party and you are still obsessing about EU  bureaucracy    

What can I or the electorate do? The answer is nothing. The Tories have an 80 seat majority. The Tories can pretty much do what they want with an 80 seat majority. I do think come the next election which is scheduled for 2024 that the Tories will turn round and say to the electorate that because of Covid they weren't able to put into action the plan and manifesto they had planned for the next 5 years etc.

Labour seem to be weak on a lot of issues or agreeing with the Tories. I mean do we have an opposition?

Then you've got the Lib Dems who are not the Tories but seem to be very close and the part they played in the 2010-2015 coalition will probably be remembered for many years.

Then there is the SNP who seemed to be obsessed with identity politics and independence and so is the Scottish Tories which is bizarre, there probably worried that if Scotland did go independent that it would make the Scottish Tories defunct.

I'm starting to wonder if the 2 main parties have had the day and that it's time for something new to emerge. We had the Alternative Vote referendum back in 2011 and I think we probably need to look at Proportional Representation again because in the 2019 General Election 43% of the British electorate voted for the Tories but 57% of the electorate did not vote for the Tories and somehow they have ended up with an 80 seat majority, it's not exactly representative of the British electorate. The thing is both Labour and the Tories aren't interested in PR because FPTP helps them but it doesn't help the smaller parties and it isn't representative of the electorate.
