It has far too many Champagne socialists in it.
The biggest problem is, they are not actually socialists at all.

Thornberry is a symptom of what is wrong with Labour.

A party originally formed to champion the interests of the working classes is now full of "asprirational" middle class types who think it's all about every kind of inequality they can think of except economic inequality and who feel utter contempt for the working class.

If Labour were a viable proposition and actually stood for what their electorate wanted they might've had a chance. Instead you had buffoons like Emily Thornberry who showed utter contempt for the Labour voters.

Better than Truss who decided to put her mom as deputy PM with the worse cabinet I have ever seen.
Therese Coffey as health minister after being the nastiest DWP minister ever, (even worse than IDS and Priti Patel.  Coffey's replacement at the DWP is also a very nasty piece of work.

The only part of Boris ever found dead in a ditch was his integrity. And that was years ago.

Yet the idiots still voted for him anyway.

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

Found dead in a ditch is a quote by Boris.

What a contemptible little shit you are
There are indeed many "contemptible little shits". 

But many of them are to be found in parliament, particularly on the front benches of both main partiies. 

The most contemptible little shits do seem to be on the Tory benches, I have to say.

Kwarteng who sees value in allowing bankers unfettered greed again. Mogg who seems to have a moral problem with workers having paid leave. Truss who thinks we should all have to pay to see a doctor,

Shits, every one.

I disagree,it's not low iq nor ignorance but that too often Westminster only gives a nod to democracy at election time and then proceeds to ignore the people and tells them what's good for them.
That is undeniably true re Westminster, but it doesn't alter the fact that they regularly rely upon millions of idiots voting stupidly for stupid reasons. They'd never be able to get away with it otherwise.

No, he has utterly failed to deliver on most of his promises.

But like most charlatans everywhere seeking office, he succeeds politically by relying upon mass gullibility and/or the stupidity of millions.

Even now, the lower the IQ, the more they like him in spite of everything.

The greatest failing of democracy is that democracies tend to contain millions of idiots and ignoramusses whose votes count too. It is difficult to counter this sorry fact without a cure being worse than the disease situation. Because any alternative to democracy would likely be worse.
