I live in the UK, but my knowledge of UK politics is so bad I didn't even know about the election. I mean I knew one was coming sometime, because I'd received leaflets (which went straight to the recycling bin), but didn't know it was this soon. Literally no one was talking about it - not on SN, not on Nostr, not on X, not on Youtube.
I don't know what the current government has done (other than Brexit and some scandals around Covid), but I had the vague feeling that they were associated with cronyism. The new government may be much more socialist and mess things up even more.

American politics is far more entertaining in my opinion. Iā€™m probably similar to you in that I ignore a lot of the political theatre in the UK.

Thank, I found out about it yesterday by accidentally seeing someone reading an article on their phone.
As an ancap I'm not into politics, but I reluctantly admit I'm not yet at a point in my pursuit of freedom and self-sovereignty where state predation has zero effect on me.
