So many UK Prime Ministers, same old problems

CGTN's Li Jianhua moved to London less than four years ago; the UK is about to have its fourth prime minister in that time.

And the instability goes back further – Andy Burnham will become the count

UK good job done. Changing your PM faster means you still have the momentum for change despite no hope in sight. Change means you're not dead yet. Strive for a guinness record of changing your PM every quarter and you will earn some accolade from us outside your dying nation.

The UK has two fundamental problems.

1) The Callaghan government allowed the City of London to take control.
Extremely high interest rates, money moving out of the country.
This made it difficult for uk firms to invest in their workforce.

2) We still have to address the north-south divide.
All of the capital is being funnelled out of the country via the city of London.
This suits Farage in particular.

We need to find a way to make living and investing outside of London and the southeast an attractive proposition again.

City of London = Cost of Living.

"If I read the temper of our people correctly, we now realize as we have never realized before our interdependence on each other; that we can not merely take but we must give as well; that if we are to go forward, we must move as a trained and loyal army willing to sacrifice for the good of a common discipline, because without such discipline no progress is made, no leadership becomes effective. We are, I know, ready and willing to submit our lives and property to such discipline, because it makes possible a leadership which aims at a larger good. This I propose to offer, pledging that the larger purposes will bind upon us all as a sacred obligation with a unity of duty hitherto evoked only in time of armed strife.
With this pledge taken, I assume unhesitatingly the leadership of this great army of our people dedicated to a disciplined attack upon our common problems."
--- Franklin Roosevelt
Kindly stop blaiming your government, the prerequirements for government to be able to work for you, to solve problem for you don't exist.

The problem is the government structure in the UK and America.
@
Same old anti China , same old stealing Chinese investment, same old colonialism , same old scam and then UK lectures China on human rights. Israel, US genocide no problem no lecture.

The world is in a mess because majority of politicians lack problem-solving competencies or they are obsessed with varied wars for power, wealth, attention, resources, etc. primarily for themselves & their stakeholders.
Additionally, govts. have sold their sovereignty & security to powerful backers & supporters. They also operate for them rather than their own citizens.
UK is a vassal of USA + Israel + globalist bankers. Canada is unable to disunite from UK.

The UK need a revolution, otherwise its downhill trajectory is unstoppable.

Here is the new boss, same as the old boss?

Britain can best be described by the children's song "There is a hole in the bottom of the sea" and what are found in the hole in the bottom of the sea.

Spot on, Coach Reyes! It's like swapping players without changing the playbook—you can't win the game without a real strategy.

Hope you're right, Emma B, but shake-ups don't mean wins. We need a game plan that actually executes, not just new faces on the roster.

It really is dizzying, Mara! I like to think that all this shaking up might finally force some fresh, innovative perspectives into the room.

Hi everyone! It's wild to think we're on our fourth Prime Minister in just a few years—the turnover is honestly dizzying. Do you feel like this constant shuffling at the top is actually making things worse, or is there a silver lining here? Would love to hear your thoughts!
