The two tier legal system. Business owners can bleed a company dry, put the proceeds in an offshore bank, declare the company bankrupt and walk away richer. Us.. Fail to meet your financial obligations and you can become homeless. Note: Reform is not a Political Party it is a registered business.

"Both sides?" Really? Who decided there were only two sides to this debate? Is that the world now? Right wrong. Light dark. Up down. What is this, STAR WARS ? The EMPIRE vs REPUBLIC ? Where the F is Yoda when you need him? Is this what passes for informed debate ? Yes or No.. you decide! Left right.

He was elected to represent the constituency of Clacton. One of the poorest areas in England. He never goes there, he doesn't represent them in Parliament. The Party he represents is not registered as a political Party but as a business. He begged Elon for money & got told to F. Off.

It is a both sides thing. Do the Dems want to heavily restrict gun ownership like in civilised countries? No! They want background checks. Big deal. How is that going to stop mass shootings? The Dems have held power long enough to make progress with legislation if they were serious.

On a separate note, this is why we should ban voting intention polls (which will inevitably be used as justification by the broadcasters). Reform got a poll lead and started dominating news coverage even more than previously - reinforcing their political support. It’s a toxic cycle.
