See, I don’t think you are British, and it makes me wonder why you display such a strong reaction.
You really think that the UK going through 9 PMs in ten years is a great situation?
The very fact you admit you know fuck all about Burnham or his policies suggests that, at best, you are under informed.
Here’s my take. Burnham is just another Starmer and all this whole sorry episode has done is highlight how broken our system is, how our politics has become quick-fix personality led nonsense guided by a jaded media landscape and constant commentary by absolute fuckwits on an international scale.
I think people like the spectacle of resignations. They like the drama and something to talk about, but ultimately they don’t care for fixing problems and having to make nuanced and possibly unpopular decisions.
For what it’s worth, I’m not fan of Starmer. But if keeping him in helped up repel Farage and populism just a little bit longer, I was willing to make that concession.
I hope Burnham proves better but his chat during the campaign shows him to be of similar mind, just with a little extra personality. Maybe it will be enough.
God ducking riddance. Not sure how the new person is though

This isn’t a day to celebrate fuck all though.
The exact same.
