Hmm, but could it perhaps be the lack of ads that finally made him go
crazy? After all, our ads is the opium of the mind, keeping us happy and

 Our new government has united the country in a most unexpected way. Everyone agrees they are total crap.
 

The failure of our democracy, and US democracy, is that we don't have reasonable candidates to vote for.
Starmer, wasn't popular before the election, he actually got a much lower absolute number of votes than most winners, lower than Corbyn's both times.
I went through my candidates, one by one, trying to find one I could vote for. I couldn't find one. I think PR would help.
Same in the USA, who wants to vote for Trump or Harris?
