That isnt strictly true. Whilst all mp`s get teh job from the 5 year cycle of the popularity contest, it is the leader of the party (of the largest majority) who get the role of Prime Minister - and the unwashed masses dont get a say in that, unless they are a paid up member of the party and/or a trade union member.

It is literally true. All PMs are elected by their electorate. Their party chooses who becomes leader, and the leader of a party that wins the general election becomes PM by default. The fact that we don't vote for the role of PM does not change this fact. PMs are still elected officials.

Thank you for agreeing with my statement then. Did you personelly vote for Boris Johnson or Jeremy Hunt to be leader of the Conservative Party (and thus PM) in 2019? If not, the UK public does not have a direct hand in electing the PM (unless you are a memebr of the party or a union).

I agreed with part of it.

Nope. But other people did, so the PM is still elected.

Not the UK public as a whole, true. But that wasn't the original claim. The original claim was that PMs are not elected. They are; they're elected by the people who are eligible to vote for them, just like regular MPs. No single politician in this country is voted on by the entire UK public.

Technically however you do not have to be an MP to be PM
Convention is that the PM is a serving MP but that isn't a requirement

Russia has ~80% of her ground troops occupying ~161,000 km2 of Ukrainian territory. The exact number of troops is impossible to know, but estimates vary from 300k-500k.

That was at the peak by the way, when they held north of Kyiv, estimates for current occupied territory is about 120,000km2.

A quick look into that channel and it appears to be getting called out as Russian state financed even before the conflict kicked off.


Definitely not a biased source of info!

Oh my god. These reports is exactly what I am talking about, just cancel everyone who says it from their own analysis. Same as them guys from Newsguard they just block and demonetize everyone who wouldn't go with narrative. Those guys do not call anyone names and stuff (Thanks for Russian troll and **** sucker epithets). All they do is taking news articles and other reports and produce the analysis. Alex Christoforou might be a bit harsher and more biased with words but Alexander Mercouris provides very good analysis and insights.

It's a Russian propaganda channel and you are falling for it. No one cares for your pro-Russian propaganda here, suggest you give up and take it up with your friends in the Kremlin.

This is why you don't fight a war dog in its own back yard.

I feel bad for the people being forced to fight. Looking at the Russian propaganda it's like watching ww2 stuff. They are so in the past.

I think the West should try and give the Russian soldiers and conscripts a way to exit the war.
