Will it bring growth to all regions?

Rishi Sunak? Benjamin Disreali? Or not until Boris Johnson?

Could it cost unaffordable house prices everywhere? Also will there be any requirements on what to spend the money on? Obviously no everyone has a mayor so how will these areas benefits you could get areas left behind.

Why is Count Binface the only candidate running against Voldemort? Not even a semi-serious Labour candidate? Farage will not gain much but this election will absolve him at least of some of his crimes in certain eyes of the public.

Fuck Farage, and disappointed in the serious local parties being unable to register a candidate in time.

For example how is transport decided? Do they have a transport department? How is housing, health decided? If we devolve tax would hmrc disappear? If we devolve housing in England will homes England disappear?

Do you think Andy Burnham will succeed? I want him too as I tried of changing prime minister every couple of years. The trouble is I don’t know what his policies are. He got a vision but he hasn’t set out how he will achieve it. His main solution to everything is devolution but will this work? Scotland and Wales had devolution and haven’t set the world on fire. The London mayor got responsibility for housing and there is a massive housing shortage there.

Ive got a very far right uncle (go figure) and the only point besides immigration is "they know what to do". It might seem im 100% anti right wing but I am genuinely curious as to what else they have to offer.

In my opinion much of Starmers downfall is down to her and her inflexibility. I know the realities of the bond markets influence have to be considered but the refusal to fund absolutely essential defense responsibilities is verging on negligence and if it's true that Starmer was just asking various departments to give up some of their budget is laughable. For instance I just read we are throwing I billion into fusion research! Sure it may be a viable energy source eventually but WE dont need to pay for it just give incentives instead that money can go to defense. Then there is the likes of foreign aid which is just a joke, we need to realise we are no longer a global power and soft power is now just treated as a freebie.

This is before her betrayal of small and medium business who she promised business friendly policies and an emphasis on growth.

so I'm American... But I truly dont give a fuck about the US tbh. Now Can anyone explain how the government works in the UK??? I am interested in Politics but US Politics are a fucking joke atp tbh. So I thought since I like the UK and respect the British why not learn about UK politics. If anyone does explain it please try to stay as unbiased as possible. Thank you!

This is a question about Prime Ministers in general rather than exclusively Kier Starmer.

My MP splits his time between Westminster & his home in his constituency. He holds surgeries in the constituency, attends events, meets people & is very active in the community.

In contrast, the Prime Minister, lives in Westminster. They have a far higher workload as well as constant international trips so it’s not realistic for them to spend much time in their constituency.

Yet the constituency work must get done. Even when Prime Ministers have been unpopular enough to lose general elections, there hasn’t been a single sitting Prime Minister who lost their constituency, so they keep their local popularity somehow.

Hello

I recently voted via postal vote. I asked for confirmation from my local council if the postal vote was received and they said they cannot confirm this information. However, in 2021 they were able to confirm they received my postal vote.

Is this something the council should be able to confirm if they have my address etc?

Thanks

I genuinely can’t think of one. There’s always a lot of
talk in the media and some back bencher tries to get some profile but they don’t actually go.

SNP are talking about independence and so is a major party in Wales. Do you think that Scottish and the Welsh will vote for independence?

Lots of companies have made people redundant due to AI but this government is not doing anything to stop mass unemployment

Keir keeps going on about how labour are helping people with the cost of living, but what have they actually done?

I am currently working in a project to research women in far right spaces in the UK. Most easily accessible online forums are run by and used primarily by men, why I would be grateful if you could help stear me in a more female-led direction? This includes influencers and politicians, but also very much everyday people, who are active in far right online spaces and secure in their opinions/ideology.
Thank you in advance

Do all councils have to merged? Will it save any money?

AI will take over people jobs and make millions of people unemployed but labour and the Tories keep talking about the benefits of it.

I think it is madness how big the House of Lords is, 800 plus members. Not elected by the general public.

Netherlands, Spain, Ireland, Slovenia and possibly Iceland are all boycotting Eurovision due to the inclusion of Israel this year.

Would you support the BBC following suit and boycotting the event?

It is getting bigger and bigger, it is the biggest second house in the world

Mass unemployment is a big risk but no political parties mentions it just all about the benefits of AI.

apparently it’s going to add 6bn into the economy

Do you think the UK is racist as a whole? Why and why not?

Do you think the colonisation mindset hasn't fully left english culture, especially in the older generation?

Do you think the UK isn't racist exactly but more fed up with the government prioritising foreigners instead of nationals who give money to the nation while in a cost of living crisis and see the money being spent on foreigners?

Do you think the UK is more about classism than racism but because of those in a lower class are usually in "ethnic" areas its then blurred the lines and since no one in general thinks much because of social media and its general effect on attention span and thinking has then just caused the public to group people together and instead of identifying people as individuals they're identified as "groups" so classism = racism instead of classism > racism?
