Boris Johnson for all his faults had a wicked sense of humour, and poor Keir Starmer is so vapid a personality I doubt he leaves an impression on a cushion when he sits on it, he was often canon fodder, and Bojo called him captain hindsight, that never got old tbh.
In the UK when you hear Tory or Conservative party think Republican right, when you hear Labour part think democratic left, and when you hear Liberal party think middle ground. There’s the DUP of course, Northern Ireland MP’s rabid loyalists and usually ultra religious politics. Scotland and Wales have their own governments, but they have no tax raising powers, Westminster dole out what they see fit, and those bodies get to decide how it’s spent, they can enact laws to a certain extent Health, Transport and Agriculture mainly. Also They elect MP’s to Westminster of course, So in Wales for example we elect MP’s - Westminster, and AM’s to the Senedd.
My current MP is a woman, and she’s gay also a Labour MP, and the AM is also Labour, the MP’s are nearly always Labour, we have had Plaid Cymru AM in the passed, it’s a Welsh nationalist party, she was pretty good to be honest, at least as far as I was aware.
