Why would I vote for libdem?
Because they want to get rid of FPTP and fix immigration, your main two important issues. But it seems like you’re adding extra steps now…
Anyways, reading your other comments here, you’ve confirmed what others already suspected - you don’t really want to fix the root issues of immigration, you’re just a xenophob.
If those are your main issues, how are they any different from greens or libdems?
Assuming you’re not trolling. Can you please expand on what good points do you think they offer?
You need TV licence, so no, not free.
Mainly 5 year terms, but I can see on the list some 6 and 7 year terms as well… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_term_limits
Not every country has four year terms. Also, elections can be triggered early for various reasons.
What do you do when you need to update all the machines with your setup?
Genuine question - what’s your opinion of the Jordanian treatment of Palestinians?
Learn history, or stop lying. Napoleon invaded Russia through (today’s) Lithuania and Belarus.
As I thought, you’re not here to debate in good faith with facts. Just spew your version of events and propaganda. Thanks for clarifying.
Are you sure you’re a Marxist? Sound more like an American from the 50s…
Socialism and capitalism are not mutually exclusive.
Capitalism is an economic system where the capital owner holds the means of production and their operation for profit.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but China does have companies that operate globally and are for profit, and some of them are even privately owned.
There are different forms of capitalism. For example: France is mainly welfare capitalism, China is state capitalism (party state capitalism to be more precise) and people would argue that USA is laissez-faire capitalism.
There are also different types of socialism… France for example is a socialist democracy. China is totalitarian socialism.
France is a country with a capitalist mode of production. Markets have nothing to do with the distinction between capitalist and socialist modes of production, the ownership of the means of production and thus also the class in control of the state is the defining characteristic.
Most of the biggest industries in France, from energy to rail, are state owned.
China is socialist. China has home ownership for personal use, but no private land ownership and ever dwindling private ownership of the means of production. Homes for the purpose of living in, ie personal property, are not a means of production, and houses for rent for the purpose of enriching the owner at the expense of the tenant, ie private property, basically don’t exist.
Seems like you live in a dream world. 20% of home owners in China have a second (and more) home/s, and they definitely use it for profit.
Also, leasehold of state property exist all over the globe. It’s not unique to capitalism or socialism or any other ism.
I’m confused… Do you know what the terms that you use even mean?
To get a baseline here… Do you think France is socialist or capitalist?
China has been mixed market economy for decades. You were talking about private property ownership. Are you not aware that China has one of the highest home ownership numbers in the world?
Isn’t China the biggest capitalist country in the world?
Sorry for my ignorance, but I think liberal means something else in my part of the world. Can you please tell me what’s your definition?
Edit: As I thought - you guys mean Neoliberalism. Even in the links below it’s mentioned that there was a split in terms. Language matters! Liberalism - a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights and civil liberties (the opposite in the political spectrum from authoritarianism).
Somehow I don’t think that you’re arguing in good faith, but anyway… There were many pro Palestine protests in Tel Aviv University and up until recently the biggest protests Israel ever had were against the current government. It’s also probably not possible to organise anything when you have to run to a shelter every hour to hide from rockets.

I don’t know if it’s your reading comprehension or you’re just confused, but I urge you to re-read my comments - I’m not trying to convince you of anything, you clearly made your decision and it doesn’t seem to be based on any empirical evidence.
You made some bold claims though and I’m here to challenge you on those.
So my answer is this… If you vote Reform, you’re not a leftie. If you vote Farage, you’re not a Remainer either. There are other parties who want to reform voting and immigration with better track record, actual councillors and more humane policies.
