this country is so fucking broken politically it's beyond belief
this feels like an incredibly important moment in british and european history where every single political fuck-up of the preceding decades have culminated into one and been well and truly rubbed in our face
the failures of successive governments in allowing inequality to escalate and (especially northern) communities to 'fall behind', the failures of european leaders to properly and democratically manage european integration, the lack of proper voting system in this country which has contributed to an increasingly inaccessible political 'elite' which is resistant to political adaptation, the failure to address the constitutional status properly of scotland, northern ireland and england & wales vis-a-vis the uk, the whole fucking globalised economic system as a whole, even the fucking centuries-old fallouts from colonialism and the colonial era... all contributed to this and all will be deeply affected by this. and that's just the beginning.
honestly i'm feeling like once my degree is done i'm moving to scotland and getting the fuck out of here. i can enjoy the fringe with ease every year and participate in politics which isn't openly racist and heart-breakingly hollow. and i don't even mind the rain. sounds good to me
