I decided to vote for the person I thought best in my constituency, & it wasn't Nazim Zahawi the Conservative candidate, who won of course, this being a true blue area.
I think we should reform the entire political system so that the Prime Minister could be directly elected (for starters) rather than being the appointee of what amounts to a tiny part of the demos, whether they be old fart nostalgics in the case of the Tories, or academic unrealists allied with still in the closet Stalinists in the case of Labour.
In any case we've ended up with a svengali figure in the form of Dominic Cummings running the PM as a glove puppet, to an extent which can only be guessed at, & for the benefit of obscure interests.
AOC would transform the US, & by extension the rest of the developed world, into Zimbabwe, so thank Christ there isn't anyone like her over here....yet.
