From your style of writing, you're in your teens, AI suggests. Later you may come to understand irony. Although I confess that I wrote not completely tongue-in-cheek.
You may also understand, that there are 650 elected MPs in parliament. Only a small handful are in the executive Government. The rest of the MPs or junior ministers are either cajoled by past indiscretions, a K, blackmail or thin majorities, to follow party line or are part of His Majesty's loyal opposition(s). There is room for change in the former, occasionally the trough (or whip) isn't enticing enough, and the role of HM Opposition is .. well .. opposition.
You may not realised that continuous raids on personal pensions by successive governments, and starving pensioners - of which I am not one - over the winter is a "bad thing". It is.
You may have wanted to own a home one day; you're probably going to be disappointed. I could go on but your friends who are somewhat older than you are probably already saying these things to you. Highest tax burden in living memory ..
Meanwhile, the pigs have their snouts firmly in the trough from way before Boris and Starmer all the way through.
The status quo isn't working. Something has to change.
I really hope that when you reach your twenties or thirties things really have changed, by whatever means necessary.
My first language isn't english sorry if my writing is not on par with yours. But no i didn't know this was ironic as some people in this thread seemed to be serious about it. I do understand there are problems with how things are now but AI wouldn't fix much, maybe it would help for a short while but then it would all go up in pieces.
You're all good, my friend.
I hope you and your peers are not subjected to a life that is substantially poorer than that of my peers.
That a person is destined to live with their parents until they are approaching their thirties is awful for that person, and that seems to be happening as a normality.
I said it wasn't a sentiment that was completely in irony. I'm rather sick of the corruption inherent in this country's government, and that official investigations into the corruption never result in a resignation or job loss.
