.. which should really have gone into my 'NOTES' .. care to be taken.

Clearly.

@larand ah ha - do NOT get me going on the left / right variations of the US v UK - I think maybe some of the UK's Tories might be accepted into the Dems tent :-)

I don’t regret my Thatcher vote - because the other choice was 'Jim' who was only one of many Labour voices at the time, including people like Tony Benn and Michael Foot, which I think pointed to a potential mess in Govt. had they got it in. Maggie was a least clear and leading.

But I guess we will never know, unless we find a way through to the other worlds in the multiverse.

As for better choices ... would be good - but really - don’t you think that anyone who runs these days must have serious character flaws by definition? It's almost a corollary of Catch 22.

@larand i am one of those people that will put their hand up and say YES - I voted for Thatcher.

The first time.

She then got a wag the dog boost for election 2 - and totally lost the plot as did the acolytes she surrounded herself with.

I think the same has happened this time around ... 14 years does that to you - I mean it was clear (to me at least) that the Tories should never have won in 2019 - but the anti Corbyn media made sure that happened. So again - they got carried away - that’s how you get a lettuce.

My point being that I THINK of myself as someone in the middle - at least what used to be the middle. Old Tories - old Labour were in the middle - but as both parties have moved out to their respective fringes - the majority of us 'in the middle' are left with no one.

I think that is how 'Bliar' won - he moved the Labour party to the middle - which Major tried - but he was tarnished with the Thatcher brush.

So in some ways Starmer I think is going to do what Bliar did - but I hope with more integrity ... as a human rights lawyer and a real experience in government rather than a 'career politician' that was Bliar.

We will see.

@pratik it is isn't it ... i presume that is a Greenworks Power Washer? Color looks too dark for Ryobi.

@larand don’t know Canadian Politics - so not sure what those two parties were about before the merger - in the UK we have had mergers before eg;

SDP - founded in the early eighties by disgruntled laborites never got traction and merged with the liberals before the end of that decade - since then the two of them together have barely had any impact.

To me Farage is not normal so if those Tories who think he is great should wander off and join him - they don’t need to take the whole party - that is as self destructuve as the rethuglicans in the US who have allowed their version of farage to take them over.
