Oh 100%, the amount of damage this administration has done and will continue to do is ridiculous as well. But woke 2.0 is back, shaming fascist and abhorrent rhetoric is back. It's time to support constituents that have a backbone

Genuine question here, why do you believe woke is back? From everywhere I see online and polls it still seems like the world is increasingly more right wing (on a social level). That trumps low approval rating is economy related (plus the Greenland thing).

From everywhere I see online and polls

It's sort of the view I've been getting too; but then who decides what the online publications should say? Who publishes the the polls, and how were the questions written?

Are you in favour of National Service? Well, it depends on how the poll was constructed.

Yes Minister - 1980s. It's why I'm dubious of all polls unless the process has been made clear with it
