I'm baffled that all this tracking nonsense is pushed through by a government that is supposed to be left of the tories. I guess that goes to show you that "center" parties can be just as evil as conservatives.
They aren't left. Starmer and chums undermined the left-wing leader of Labour. They're the pro-business wing of the party. New Labour folks were always dreadful for this sort of thing. Many authoritarian changes are coming from the centre, in UK, France, Denmark etc.
It all feels co-ordinated as states and their representatives squeeze down on working people.
I know they aren't left, that's why I wrote "left of the tories". They are centrist and how Starmer ever managed to become prime minister is beyond me. That guy as a suit through and through.
You are exactly where the US was thirty or so years ago. Get ready for the hard push right to try to "attract the moderate Tories".
Get ready for something they were doing 20 years ago?
