Nothing new will emerge while we have first past the post, the two leading Turkeys are not about to vote for that version of Christmas so we won't see it in our life time.

The little men (and a few women) with big ego's, and them that eventually became UKippers who didn't want us in the EU because it didn't suit their future (bye, bye tax havens, pay your taxes where you earn your money) or their present (Proportional Representation meant they could never get a majority of like minded bigots across Europe to form a big enough majority, or any majority come to that) meant that there was only one way they could go.

Dress it up as pandering to the Little Englander vote and hope it carries the day. It did, by 4%.

Hardly a stunning victory and hence nigh on half the population that voted were stuffed by the turkeys that chose to use the vote for other purposes, like railing against Cameron's austerity policies as well as the bollocks of .....

- taking "control of our borders" - we always were in control of our borders. When was the last time you didn't need to show a passport to come home from abroad when you turned up at an airport or sea port? We were never in Schengen let alone the EU completely free movement in a fully paid up sense.

- restricting immigration - that's worked well with Covid hasn't it? Immigration is still pretty much at the same level, other than from countries that won't let people out, because they don't want them going back from this Covid infested hell-hole.

- and deciding what to do with our money. Our money? You mean, which tax haven(s) to park your money in Bodgit (and friends). We actual tax payers at the pleb end of money tree never get to decide what to do with our money, which even with a well paying job quickly gets swallowed up if you join or stay on the money-go-round that is the housing market.

Yes we can decide to occasionally go on holiday, buy the occasional new or used car, TV, clothes, food, drink, in normal circumstances if you're in a position to do so, but unlike some (yes you Bodgit) we, actually pay for it, even though we are just the "registered keeper" of our vehicles, and the Government actually owns them (look the legal bs on that one up). We can't however park our "savings", or to make it easier for you - the money we don't really want to pay tax on either - in the same offshore counts as you can.

Strange, but these "off-shore tax-havens" where even the locals apparently pay little if anything in the way of taxes, all seem to make the world go round, so they must be raising revenues to pay for the infrastructure and all the political shenanigans that go on somehow. Creative accounting perhaps?
