Tuition fees and their impact on young people is one of the most purposely misunderstood things in politics. Telling lies and mis-truths to bash your opponents just leads to more people questioning whether uni is right for them.
Instead of listening to politicians scaring you about the cost of ‘tuition fees’, it’s probably best to listen to experts like @MartinSLewis when deciding if university is for you. ‘Tuition fees’ explained and how to work out the cost.

I see Democrat adjacents haven't learnt anything from the "Basket of Deplorables" backlash

Lads, are poppies woke or anti-woke now?
I’m not wearing a poppy this year because the Royal British Legion’s ‘Head of Diversity and Inclusion’ earns roughly £65,000 a year while many ex-servicemen struggle for support. I’ll still honour and remember the brave souls who served and sacrificed for our freedom.

This is possibly one of the best arguments beyond proportionality for Constituency-List electoral systems. The splitting of MPs by their functions will help reduce the parochial nature of parliament.
“I have bought a house in Clacton! What more do you want!” Nigel Farage on claims he’s not in his constituency enough.

It is easy to understand as a third party supporting Brit. "I vote for you locally because of what you do, but you aren't credible on a national scale"
I do not believe in the mirage of voters who voted the whole down ballot Dem but also voted Trump. Apparently, millions of Americans did that, but I haven’t seen or heard of a single one. So if that’s you, please explain.

Britain is definitely moving right. It's just a quirk of our electoral system and Labour being the natural and easy choice of anti-incumbent voting that aided them in the size of the majority.
"Britain is moving massively to the right". Meanwhile in reality, the Labour Party got over 400 seats and a Blair-sized majority a matter of weeks ago.

The holds of senate seats in swing states and down ballot wins is increasingly confirms my belief that the presidential election was successfully framed as a referendum on Biden
North Carolina Democrats appear to have broken the GOP's supermajority in the state legislature -- flipping a key seat an hour east of Raleigh. Come January Republicans will no longer hold the power to override gubernatorial vetoes from Democrat Josh Stein. Democrat Dante Pittman unseated Republican Rep. Ken Fontenot in House District 24. axios.com/local/raleigh/2024…

The lesson Labour needs to learn is not one of Gaza and leftism, but rather one of it not mattering how good the spreadsheets are if people's wallets are slightly lighter.

Because when your opponents are fighting the election on tribal messaging and the base layer of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, all those things listed below don't matter.
Really not trying to stoke conspiracy, but is it really feasible that Dem enthusiasm at near Obama levels, an insurrection, the fall of Roe, Trump’s SCOTUS immunity deal, and Project 2025–really yielded 15 million fewer Blue voters? Help it make sense.

When you have a choice between "I'll help you feed your family" and "The concept of democracy is at risk" I can tell you which one is a easier message to sell. It also explains why good times means social liberalism.

Complete misunderstanding of US voters outside a small group here. Had Harris announced cutting support for Israel she would have lost far more votes as Trump would put out "Comrade Kamala bows to Iran" ads literally everywhere.
The clearest bit of Kamala Harris' otherwise fuzzy platform was her ongoing support for Israel's genocidal war machine and her deep contempt for pro-Palestine voters. This is what it cost her in Michigan.

The wider point is that voters in the US are far too firm in their ideologies and solitary in their communities for the two party system to function for those on the left. And this is exclusively a problem of the left
