Like a herd of sheep shuffling from pen to pen. When you get bored of one pen, you shuffle back to the other. On top of these pens are names. One says Labour, the other says Conservative.
Except that's precisely part of the problem. If you have a populace that see's no point in the vote, then you are really only a stones throw away from complete anarchry
It's funny, the main complaint from labour ideologues is that Tories are anti-immigrant. And yet illegal and legal immigration have absolutely soared under the Tories. Complete illusion that either is better or worse. The rhetoric is slightly different but the result the same. Half tempted to vote Reform in protest.
JP has obviously not had to live in UK for last 12 years , corrosion of public services and political life grinding down the population while the uk -ship piloted towards the rocks…. And I’m definitely not a starmer fan either!…. The structure of the country I have enjoyed was built by a previous generation, this generation of political ministers are borderline treasonous 😢
@yogig6271 No 'borderline' about it! They are working for the benefit of some entity other than the British public. They are indeed thoroughly treasonous and Blair altered the law regarding treason in order to protect himself and all the other filth rats who are involved in their grand megalomaniacal scheme.
Voting between Labour & Conservative is like choosing your preferred method of having your country trashed. Either trashed by incompetence & ignoring what voters want verses being trashed by corruption and ignoring what voters want.
@@mogznwaz I think the Tories are more corrupt than Labour, but that's only because Labour are ideologically posessed (and really not that bright) so they didn't need the corruption to get them on board with wokeness, climate hysteria, and the WEF.
Unfortunately both parties are incompetent, if the polls are correct and Labour is successful, the only thing is Labour similar to the conservatives have a lot of mediocre MP’s I find, I just hope if Starmer when he’s picking his cabinet he picks a decent & strong team.
@@EattheRich-re7kvI heard someone say that Tory's and labour are 2 cheeks on the same bum but torys are slightly to the right of Stalin, a good point. Tory's are shocking socialist's but starmer will be worse, if reform split the vote labour gets in. The only way it works is if reform take some labour seats and ALLOT of convervative and we get a Tory reform coalition with reform in number 10 and I hope sir Desmond comes over to reform. It might also help if Nigel farrage takes a seat
@@tankrabbit534 Are you seriously suggesting that the Reform Party is akin the Nazi Party of the 1920s/30s? If not, could you please clarify? I think that vacuums in politics are usually filled, and the pendulum does indeed swing - history shows this time over. But the Reform Party is nowhere near a 'far-right-wing' party, not even in any way close!!! Have you read their policies? Their 16-page document is online - it's essentially the old Conservative manifesto, as Richard Tice and Nigel Farage were both ardent Conservatives (of the social and economic model).
But if it IS worse, then what? Another 5 years of an even faster decline? I mean, I don't know what the answer is, the Tory/LieBour shitweasels will ONLY perpetuate the misery the country has witnessed over the last quarter of a century, would another "unproven" party be any better? Remember politicians are only interested in the prols just before the polls, once in power the swine all feast from the trough of public expenses and/or the hand of big business lobbyists, and the little man is ignored at best or shafted again so the rich keep getting richer.
honestly I'm so pessimistic towards all parties in the UK right now that I genuinely do not think it matters who wins or loses at this point. Every party is just a different snakeskin for the same neoliberal machine. If voting mattered, they wouldn't let you do it. But unlike in america, I do not even see any individual political figures to root for. Britain is lost to bureaucracy. And I do fear significant violence on the streets by 2030. But it's out of my hands, I can only control my own life and impact those around me. I've lost all investment in the politics of my nation.
Surely Reform UK is the most acceptable option at the moment? They seem to actually be conservative in a lot of ways *shock horror* as opposed to the failing Tory party.
I hate to say it but I agree. I honestly wonder at what point is someone going to do something murderous. When a political system no longer serves anything but the people in it and their friends/family, it’s no longer fit for purpose, and if the people in it are willing to support regimes and governments for their own financial gain, then that’s a pass for people governed by that system to do the same and take life (the politicians) to protect their friends/family and countrymen/women for corruption. Im most likely seeing the government through a black and white lens because i do not fully understand the workings of our political system and its components, but i guarantee you, many people like me see it the same, but some others won’t recognise their limited understanding. It’ll be those who I worry about it but also in a small way hope for.
I like Jordan but on this occasion he's talking complete bollocks. This is the same 'Venezuela here we come' commentary we heard just before Blair became PM. If Starmer is such an ultra lefty, whey to the ultra left despise him? Best to keep your nose out of this one Mr Peterson.
The problem is Jordan what other option do the people of the UK have? I don't think he understands the state this country is already in. People can barely afford their bills and buying a home feels like an unobtainable dream, illegal immigration has not been stopped despite Brexit which has done nothing to control our borders and we have a police force that allows terrorist sympathizers on our streets to chant for genocide but has no issue with invading someone's home to arrest an autistic person for calling a police officer a lesbian. What has our Government do to try and change this? "Lets fire Suella Braverman and maybe we should ban pitbulls?" Okay great, well done. Our Government is an utter joke and it has brought us down to our absolute knees begging for crumbs. Trying to tell people they should still vote the Tories despite all the damage they have done feels foolish. I don't like the idea of voting for Labour any more than you do but I don't see what other choice we have, I will likely vote reform but what good that will do seems as equally futile.
@@lorenzbroll101 I understand why you feel that way and for many years didn't even bother to vote myself because of that reason but unfortunately we don't live in a time where we have the luxury to be apathetic about this. To say you shouldn't vote at all to me feels unproductive, I will more than likely feel some level of shame when I come to vote this year but at least I can say that I voted for something that felt like the lesser of all the evils being presented and I urge you to do the same. Our ancestors have fought and died for rights to vote and however you feel about how voting actually works I feel a sense of duty to vote never the less.
There is always a choice! but your a sheep that just follows the herd. Why not take a chance on a new party that isn't the main three what harm can it do? people need to wake up and stop following the masses and think for them selves labour isn't going to save this country they will sink it
@@lorenzbroll101 The elites clearly didn't get what they wanted with Brexit. Vote Reform. I'm an American who votes third party for President. So... I've heard all the arguments about a 'wasted vote' a million times before.
Our conservatives in the uk are basically labour lite. They aren’t conservative enough. I hate them but I’d rather them than labour. Labour will do WORSE things
@@chrismacdonald8494 They didn't have as incompetent leaders such as Corbyn, Starmer or Brown, the only standout was Blair who actually revitalized the party when he went it went to pot. Neither party is worthy at the moment but I'd pick the blue poison over the trash that is the red.
@98LPM you're overlooking the fact that Blair saw the longest period of sustained economic growth for 200years and also reduced borrowing.. You're also overlooking the fact that Gordon Brown protected the people when the Sub prime mortgage crisis hit the UK - the tories would have left lots of people homeless.. No wonder the tories shout 'War criminal ' and 'The note', they hate the fact that LABOUR ARE BETTER AT HANDLING THE ECONOMY.
Who do we vote for? For the first time in 48 years of voting not one party appeals to me, speaks for me or could represent me without further damaging the UK (morally or financially).
Jordan Peterson obviously knows almost nothing about UK politics but still feels confident enough to say Starmer will ruin the UK. What a complete B3ll3nd! Imagine being that insanely arrogant?
Yes do take a look at what the conservitive have realy done, they are the worst tory party ever but still better that any labour party, please people take a close look at what labour say and the woke ideas they are backing there truly would be “catastrophic” for the UK.
Nothing compare to what you'll see if a left government get in. Simply look at Canada, NZ and any other liberal left government run country! Much much worse than UK.
Terrible situation … Tories are wholly untenable and Labour is utterly unworkable. Meanwhile Blighty continues is slow demise into dysfunctional obscurity …
Exaggeration and Peterson is againn talking about Things he's not an expert on.Britain is struggling for sure, but then look at everyone else. if you take all of the 3rd world and developing countries out of the way as "currently" not doing so well as the UK,, even though some of them are gaining ground quickly.Then looking at all the 1st world countries, UK is 1 of only a handful with decent demographics, e.g.: USA, UK, France, Israel, Australia and Scandinavia are the only countries with "close" to replacement level birthrates over the last 45 years, every other 1st world country has backed up catastrophic birthrates in both generations since the beginning of that time, especially Germany and Italy. Then look at the Economies and only USA and France are doing better *The only option is to vote for Starmer to kick out the current regime who have invested nothing in the country, wrecking it since the boom period when Britain had the highest GDP per capita in the world briefly into thousand 2007. There are so many problematic things that we can't solve all of them, but at least we can try to put pressure on Starmer through the unions - voting reform will simply define the vote, the Tories will get in again and finish the country of. As far as normal citizens are concerned - they are in cahoots for the WEF plans as well.
@@Rowlph8888During the previous labour administration Gordon Brown sold off our gold reserves. What was the point of that? Brown when he was chancellor pumped 2 billion into the NHS.No one could account for it! What gives? Cheers.
He's massively overestimating Starmer here. Starmer is barely to the left of Sunak. As for the ULEZ zones, they've literally happened under a tory government, so i have no idea what he's talking about there
If you actually look at Starmer's history he is very left. He's currently hiding how left and woke he actually is. Plus the majority of the Labour party is very left. The Tories completely oppose ULEZ and 20 mph speed limits. But the Tories are not in power in London, Labour is under Sadiq Khan.
@@mandarkastronomonov2962 You don't have to be an expert to know that Starmer isn't far left. The fact that Peterson talks in this way when even some of the least informed people in the UK knows that he's talking nonsense shows how incapable Peterson is of talking about this subject.
The man who has dragged the Labour party to the right, whose apeing toryism. If Peterson can name me one policy of Labour, just one, I'll eat my hat. I don't even like Keir Starmer. Venezuela: Rachel Reeves is somewhere to the right of Ronald Reagan, economically. This is a level of impressive ignorance.
Its always been interesting to me that the US gave Ukraine potent enough weapons to defend themselves but not potent enought weapons to provide retaliatory attacks into Russia. Its almost as if the US wanted the war to go on as long as possible without producing a result. It occurs to me that that is exactly what the Military Industrial Complex would want. Endless war.
No actually, the reason for that is because Biden and his key advisors (esp. Jake Sullivan, who seems to believe that he's some sort of foreign policy genius, while he's clearly far from it) are very afraid that if Russia were to lose, that would be worse than Ukraine winning, therefore they are giving Ukraine _just enough_ NOT to lose, but not enough to win this war. And under the current conditions, the US Military Industrial Complex is actually making _very little_ extra profits, because what Biden is giving Ukraine, are old weapons that were going to be decommissioned and replaced anyway in the fairly near future, which means that the Military Industrial Complex's manufacturing schedule remains practically unchanged from the pre-invasion times. So, this is a misguided political stupidity that benefits neither Ukrainians, nor the US Military Industrial Complex. A quicker Ukrainian victory using a larger number of newer American-made weapons would be more beneficial to Ukrainians _and_ to the US Military Industrial Complex.
1. First of all, when Eisenhower coined that expression in the late fifties, the arms industry 15 years after WW2 and at the height of the Cold War was a substantial segment of the economy, roughly 25% of GDP. It had enormous clout. Today it's about 4%, as opposed to pharmaceuticals (20%). The arms industry has no influence over foreign policy, but what does maverick psychologist Peterson know about it? 2. The Blinken-Sullivan-Kirby-Biden gang were the architects of Obama's appeasement policy after the invasion of Crimea and Donbas and that obviously had nothing to do with boosting arms production, but the opposite. The explanation is cowardice, the same reason they have drip-fed arms to Ukraine. 3. Your assumption is not even correct that drip-feeding arms to Ukraine as opposed to sending a massive amount of expensive long-range missile systems and fighter jets is more lucrative. The opposite is the case - we can crunch numbers if you like. Moreover, those systems and air superiority would have to be maintained for decades if Ukraine succeeded in recovering its territory, especially Crimea. There are serious commenters on the war on Ukraine on yt and elsewhere, including retired generals and military and foreign policy experts. You don’t need a flash-in-the-pan anti-woke star with a background in biological reductionist psychology to understand Ukraine.

How is the deficit ever going to decrease without government spending reductions? The Conservatives implemented austerity and brought the deficit down from 15% to 3% of GDP. It came at a terrible social cost but economically it stabilised the debt. Under Tony Blair we had the largest deficit since World War 2, and he took national debt as a percent of GDP from 39% to 75% by Gordon Brown’s time. The reason why socialists and left-wing supporters in the UK look fondly on Labour of the early 2000s is because Tony Blair spent wildly on public services. Of course it was a great time, but eventually you have to pay the debt back, or your economy will collapse. Look at Greece for an example of what can happen when a country defaults on its national debt. The fundamental problem today is the UK economy is simply not large enough, nor is it growing fast enough to support the spending expected by many in society today. Furthermore, the spending done by the government is mostly wasted in bureaucracy and overstaffed institutions. We saw this during Covid with the wasted money on Nightingale hospitals and PPE contracts. There are too many middle managers in the NHS, and not enough doctors. Wasted money. Why does HMRC have as many employees as the entire British Army? Wasted money. So what do we _reallly_ need?: •Economic growth to support sustainable public spending. •Reduction in national debt and deficit so that less government funds need to go to debt interest payment (as opposed to NHS spending for example). •Reduction in the amount of government control and bureaucracy, so that money goes directly where it is needed, especially in organisations like the NHS. All non-essential staff should be slashed and all government bodies should be financially audited, just how you or I would be audited by HMRC if we missed a tax return. No more executives on multi-million pound bonuses. •Reduction in the amount of economic red tape, regulation and guidelines, so that big corporations can’t monopolise and exploit the country. Large corporations hire lawyers and lobby politicians to exploit the rules. Remove the rules and give small businesses a chance to compete. Lower the barriers to entry across the economy, so big corporations have to fight for their spot by offering better prices or better services, which ultimately benefits society. •Return to Milton Friedman’s free market economic theory. Stop following Keynesian economic theory with maximum government spending possible to “stimulate” the economy, or Labour’s economic theory with regulations to control corporations, which then results in corruption, monopolisation and exploitation. •No more wasting money on foreign wars and military action.
It's a popular sentiment to hate politicians, this tory govt have been an absolute disgrace. But Dr Peterson needs to stay in his swim lane, he isn't a politician and further exacerbating the political/societal rift is very dangerous in these times. I respect the man greatly as a psychologist and advocate for young men finding purpose; but I urge you all to not be blinded by the pedestal we put him on.
Unfortunately Labour will probably get in. People will just think because the Conservative Party has been so bad, we need to vote the other one in - regardless of how much worse it'll be.
What I find interesting is that I read about SO many people here that are so negative about the political options in the UK. It makes me wonder; First the financial crisis was the problem, then immigrants were the problem, then EU was the problem, now immigrants are the problem again... Is there a chance the political system itself might be a problem? The House of Commons is simply not a functional means of democratic representation.
Peterson talks like Labour have never been in power before. An unhinged, ultra-religious psychologist saying that a human rights lawyer has got no sense. That is quite something!
He's neither unhinged or ultra religious. The man is from a currently fucked up Canada and lost his psychology license if i remember right because he refused to refer to people by their preferred pronouns. He simply thinks Labour is a step in that direction
haha JP isn't an expert when it comes to UK politics. Starmer has smashed the crank left. To equate Starmer to the state of Venezuela is beyond moronic.
@@Station9.75 I didn’t mention anything about the Tories. In fact I agree their latest innings has been a disaster in extraordinary times.

Time for a reset and Reform for U.K. don’t you agree?
The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money. Both Tories and Labour have followed this principle since Blair. Sad really.
You seriously think the labour party right now is socialist? But not to mention, this conservative government so far has had a very strong record of spending taxpayers money in the most inefficient and wasteful way possible.

On one hand, five years of a Labour government is a good things as it will force the Conservative Party to become conservative again and those under 50 would be taught a lesson in the realities of a non-Blair Labour government. One the other hand, the UK will become a one party state for a while if he lowers the minimum voting age to 16, but the irony of that with the open door immigration policies that will no doubt follow Sharia will end left wing politics in the UK and a lot of people who voted for it, will become acquainted with roof tops.
No, it will do the opposite. If the Tories lose they will lean even more left to appeal to the voters. We already have the choice of hard left or radical left. There is no conservative party.
He's probably right about Starmer, but we're already facing a catastrophe with the Tories and have been for the last 14 years. What we need going forward, is a change in the voting system with PR and allowing smaller fringe parties and independent candidates a better chance of winning seats in parliament.
Agreed, I would vote Reform UK but they will never have a chance of winning my local seat. Consequently, the choice for me is now between Conservatives and Liberal Democrats... oh goody!
Does Peterson know ANYTHING about the damage inflicted on the UK by the Tories over the last 13 years, not to mention their incompetence and corruption? He should stick to his areas of expertise. British politics clearly isn't one of them!

It’s a catastrophe right now and has been for years with this government. Labour will bring back the workers rights and workers unions across the board. They will stop the exploiting 0 hours contracts and poor work conditions. They will build the affordable houses on the green belt land for the majority not houses just 10% of the population can buy. The British people need someone like Sir Kier Starmar for hope for a future.
Oversupply of workers is why zero hours contracts are in wide use. There are millions of workers to take your place. This is why Labour opened the borders. Labour has ensured the erosion of British workers rights (and wages) through mass immigration. They are not your friend

He didn't make a single point or substantiate it. He just called a centre right party 'socialist' and compared Starmer to Chavez. He clearly knows nothing about UK politics but wants to keep his key audience demographics happy with some "left is bad" spiel.

Yes, we are hungry for change ... the only problem is 'None of the above thieves, liars and self-servers' is the only option that doesn't appear on the ballot form.
I am resigned to the UK voting for starmer. Four years of dreadful decline, the necessary pain to wake people up. (Please wake up!) Then maybe things can get better. Trouble is I haven't got many years left.
Keir Starmer’s behaviour as chief prosecutor is what prevents me from voting for his Labour government. Trying to stitch up Damian Green with a prison sentence by claiming that the leaking of the intelligence Green gained (about Labour) was compromising national security, when really all it was doing was flagging up Labour malpractice. I don’t think we’ll end up with Venezuela, but Starmer is not to be trusted. The real clincher for me is that he ruled that police who dupe women into sexual relationships, fathering children with them etc. while undercover, should have impunity….
We need to vote REFORM UK. Yes, I understand a Keir Starmer government will result in this election but if you really want change, and a proper conservative party, that step is necessary. The useless Tories must go and there's no sense in sending them your vote if you're looking long range.
Let’s hope plenty of labour voters are JP fans. Might at least get some of them to think, rather than blindly ticking the red box “because that’s what I always do” later this year. A strong protest vote is needed to at least try to force change. With Tories or Labour in power the UK will continue walking (although recently it feels more like a jog) towards its doom.
The main topic is immigration yet in 2003 Kier Starmer took Labour to court and won it was about giving immigrants the right to benefits and thats why we are in this situation now.
Jordan Peterson doesn't understand UK politics enough to make comments on this. He, Canadians and Americans always assume that we're as socially polarised as they are. It just doesnt operate like that and Labour voters are not comparable to social marxists that he fears. The Conservatives need out of this country and the only chance we have of making that happen is voting Labour.
It's all good and well saying a Labour victory would be catastrophic for the country, and personally I believe it! But, to continue with the present status quo in my mind would be just as bad which displays how rotten and predictable British politics is! Until this mutually convenient two party state is broken I can't see much change ahead which explains the present contempt and disdain Westminster has for the people of this country, if a strong and viable third party can emerge it would definitely change the political landscape and perhaps add a bit of fresh air to what is a stale and rancid political cabal!
OK this guy doesn't have a clue on UK Politics. Labour have moved so far to the centre Starmer even praised Thatcher at one stage haha. A labour government will make little difference to the current status quo. I don't know why helping the poorest and most vulnerable is so abhorrent to JP. It was better pre the 2010 coalition for anyone that experienced life on disability benefit fro example.
This is how it tends to be in the UK. Since WW2 1945-51 Labour, 1951-64 Tory, 1964-79 (basically labour with 3 year break in the middle), 1979-97 Tory, 1997-2010 Labour and now 2010-24 Tory
Ha vote Labour because you want a change, Tories and Labour are the same party at different speeds. The reason Labour are predicted to win is because the people who want an actual conservative government have rightfully lost faith in the Tories and won’t be voting. A victory due to the nation’s apathy is not a victory, but it’s the only win Labour could possibly have.
I see a tragic similarity between the two wars mentioned.........Iran is willing to fight Israel to the last Palestinian, and America is willing to fight Russia, to the last Ukrainian. Its so sad to watch all the innocents caught in the crossfire.
The fact that Peterson thinks Starmer or Labour are socialist completely undermines any point he may have - not that he seems to be making one at all. Keep out of UK politics Mr Peterson, your psychological work is very interesting, but this is clearly not a topic you have any knowledge of.
What Jordon Peterson says is not only right, it's also well-known by anyone who doesn't rely on the corporate media for news. I've got to say though, I was surprised Piers Morgan didn't interrupt Peterson (and keep doing it) as he does others who say much the same thing.
We kicked Jacinda out on her arse and NZ is so woke and now we have a govt on the right it's all about undoing all the damage. We also have a stupid system of proportional representation which gives parties almost no one voted for a disproportionate amount of power.

@@mogznwaz I think the Tories are more corrupt than Labour, but that's only because Labour are ideologically posessed (and really not that bright) so they didn't need the corruption to get them on board with wokeness, climate hysteria, and the WEF.

Are you seriously suggesting that the Reform Party is akin the Nazi Party of the 1920s/30s? If not, could you please clarify? I think that vacuums in politics are usually filled, and the pendulum does indeed swing - history shows this time over. But the Reform Party is nowhere near a 'far-right-wing' party, not even in any way close!!! Have you read their policies? Their 16-page document is online - it's essentially the old Conservative manifesto, as Richard Tice and Nigel Farage were both ardent Conservatives (of the social and economic model).
But if it IS worse, then what? Another 5 years of an even faster decline?
I mean, I don't know what the answer is, the Tory/LieBour shitweasels will ONLY perpetuate the misery the country has witnessed over the last quarter of a century, would another "unproven" party be any better?
Remember politicians are only interested in the prols just before the polls, once in power the swine all feast from the trough of public expenses and/or the hand of big business lobbyists, and the little man is ignored at best or shafted again so the rich keep getting richer.
Sounds like a really well thought out vote.
Reform are Tories, further right than the Tories though.
honestly I'm so pessimistic towards all parties in the UK right now that I genuinely do not think it matters who wins or loses at this point. Every party is just a different snakeskin for the same neoliberal machine. If voting mattered, they wouldn't let you do it. But unlike in america, I do not even see any individual political figures to root for. Britain is lost to bureaucracy. And I do fear significant violence on the streets by 2030. But it's out of my hands, I can only control my own life and impact those around me. I've lost all investment in the politics of my nation.
There's only really Farage and Reform, not perfect but far less bad than the others
I agree.
Surely Reform UK is the most acceptable option at the moment? They seem to actually be conservative in a lot of ways *shock horror* as opposed to the failing Tory party.
Yeah I'm voting Reform.
I hate to say it but I agree. I honestly wonder at what point is someone going to do something murderous. When a political system no longer serves anything but the people in it and their friends/family, it’s no longer fit for purpose, and if the people in it are willing to support regimes and governments for their own financial gain, then that’s a pass for people governed by that system to do the same and take life (the politicians) to protect their friends/family and countrymen/women for corruption.
Im most likely seeing the government through a black and white lens because i do not fully understand the workings of our political system and its components, but i guarantee you, many people like me see it the same, but some others won’t recognise their limited understanding. It’ll be those who I worry about it but also in a small way hope for.
Starmer is WEF through and through, what more do you need to know about him. God help us all.

I like Jordan but on this occasion he's talking complete bollocks. This is the same 'Venezuela here we come' commentary we heard just before Blair became PM. If Starmer is such an ultra lefty, whey to the ultra left despise him? Best to keep your nose out of this one Mr Peterson.
Right. he removed corbyn and Abbott
Realy.
The problem is Jordan what other option do the people of the UK have? I don't think he understands the state this country is already in. People can barely afford their bills and buying a home feels like an unobtainable dream, illegal immigration has not been stopped despite Brexit which has done nothing to control our borders and we have a police force that allows terrorist sympathizers on our streets to chant for genocide but has no issue with invading someone's home to arrest an autistic person for calling a police officer a lesbian.
What has our Government do to try and change this? "Lets fire Suella Braverman and maybe we should ban pitbulls?" Okay great, well done. Our Government is an utter joke and it has brought us down to our absolute knees begging for crumbs. Trying to tell people they should still vote the Tories despite all the damage they have done feels foolish. I don't like the idea of voting for Labour any more than you do but I don't see what other choice we have, I will likely vote reform but what good that will do seems as equally futile.
What's the point in voting anyway, I think you should ask yourself, as they always go off on a tangent once in power with their own pet projects.
@@lorenzbroll101 I understand why you feel that way and for many years didn't even bother to vote myself because of that reason but unfortunately we don't live in a time where we have the luxury to be apathetic about this.

Then look at the Economies and only USA and France are doing better

Its always been interesting to me that the US gave Ukraine potent enough weapons to defend themselves but not potent enought weapons to provide retaliatory attacks into Russia. Its almost as if the US wanted the war to go on as long as possible without producing a result. It occurs to me that that is exactly what the Military Industrial Complex would want. Endless war.
No actually, the reason for that is because Biden and his key advisors (esp. Jake Sullivan, who seems to believe that he's some sort of foreign policy genius, while he's clearly far from it) are very afraid that if Russia were to lose, that would be worse than Ukraine winning, therefore they are giving Ukraine _just enough_ NOT to lose, but not enough to win this war.
And under the current conditions, the US Military Industrial Complex is actually making _very little_ extra profits, because what Biden is giving Ukraine, are old weapons that were going to be decommissioned and replaced anyway in the fairly near future, which means that the Military Industrial Complex's manufacturing schedule remains practically unchanged from the pre-invasion times. So, this is a misguided political stupidity that benefits neither Ukrainians, nor the US Military Industrial Complex.
A quicker Ukrainian victory using a larger number of newer American-made weapons would be more beneficial to Ukrainians _and_ to the US Military Industrial Complex.
1. First of all, when Eisenhower coined that expression in the late fifties, the arms industry 15 years after WW2 and at the height of the Cold War was a substantial segment of the economy, roughly 25% of GDP. It had enormous clout. Today it's about 4%, as opposed to pharmaceuticals (20%). The arms industry has no influence over foreign policy, but what does maverick psychologist Peterson know about it?
2. The Blinken-Sullivan-Kirby-Biden gang were the architects of Obama's appeasement policy after the invasion of Crimea and Donbas and that obviously had nothing to do with boosting arms production, but the opposite. The explanation is cowardice, the same reason they have drip-fed arms to Ukraine.
3. Your assumption is not even correct that drip-feeding arms to Ukraine as opposed to sending a massive amount of expensive long-range missile systems and fighter jets is more lucrative.

Whats catastrophic is the past 13 years of austerity and deprivation that the bastard tory government has put this country through. Change is needed.
What do you think Labour would have done?
Either way it would have been a fuck up
Labour was supporting austerity measures going into the 2015 General Election.
How is the deficit ever going to decrease without government spending reductions? The Conservatives implemented austerity and brought the deficit down from 15% to 3% of GDP. It came at a terrible social cost but economically it stabilised the debt. Under Tony Blair we had the largest deficit since World War 2, and he took national debt as a percent of GDP from 39% to 75% by Gordon Brown’s time.
The reason why socialists and left-wing supporters in the UK look fondly on Labour of the early 2000s is because Tony Blair spent wildly on public services. Of course it was a great time, but eventually you have to pay the debt back, or your economy will collapse. Look at Greece for an example of what can happen when a country defaults on its national debt.
The fundamental problem today is the UK economy is simply not large enough, nor is it growing fast enough to support the spending expected by many in society today. Furthermore, the spending done by the government is mostly wasted in bureaucracy and overstaffed institutions. We saw this during Covid with the wasted money on Nightingale hospitals and PPE contracts. There are too many middle managers in the NHS, and not enough doctors. Wasted money. Why does HMRC have as many employees as the entire British Army? Wasted money.
So what do we _reallly_ need?:
•Economic growth to support sustainable public spending.
•Reduction in national debt and deficit so that less government funds need to go to debt interest payment (as opposed to NHS spending for example).
•Reduction in the amount of government control and bureaucracy, so that money goes directly where it is needed, especially in organisations like the NHS. All non-essential staff should be slashed and all government bodies should be financially audited, just how you or I would be audited by HMRC if we missed a tax return. No more executives on multi-million pound bonuses.
•Reduction in the amount of economic red tape, regulation and guidelines, so that big corporations can’t monopolise and exploit the country. Large corporations hire lawyers and lobby politicians to exploit the rules. Remove the rules and give small businesses a chance to compete. Lower the barriers to entry across the economy, so big corporations have to fight for their spot by offering better prices or better services, which ultimately benefits society.
•Return to Milton Friedman’s free market economic theory. Stop following Keynesian economic theory with maximum government spending possible to “stimulate” the economy, or Labour’s economic theory with regulations to control corporations, which then results in corruption, monopolisation and exploitation.
•No more wasting money on foreign wars and military action.

Lol
After he shovels concrete for 15 years....
Then and only then will he know what the average person wants..
News of the World is what they want...
😆😆😆
Agree but listening is not enough as action is required !
Does this imbecile know that Russia actually invaded Ukraine, is occupying 20% of its territory, has kidnapped thousands of Ukrainian children, has committed every manner of atrocity there, bombards Ukrainian citizens daily and nightly? Or is that too all fabricated by the "military-industrial complex"?
Kind of like an undergraduate Trotskyist on the other side of the spectrum, except on Ukraine, where he's just an undergraduate Trotskyist tout court.
It’s a catastrophe right now and has been for years with this government. Labour will bring back the workers rights and workers unions across the board. They will stop the exploiting 0 hours contracts and poor work conditions. They will build the affordable houses on the green belt land for the majority not houses just 10% of the population can buy. The British people need someone like Sir Kier Starmar for hope for a future.
Oversupply of workers is why zero hours contracts are in wide use. There are millions of workers to take your place. This is why Labour opened the borders. Labour has ensured the erosion of British workers rights (and wages) through mass immigration.
They are not your friend
what do you mean by worker rights exactly? lol
Listen to intelligent people like Jordan not twits that have ridiculous views. If they don't listen. The state of affairs will decline even further.
He has the intellect of an undergraduate Trotskyist.
Sadiq Kahn didnt instigate ULEZ, it was Boris Johnson
He’s intelligent in his field.
All his Canadian predictions never happened regarding politics
@@jezcorrigan651 "He's intelligent in his field."
I once forced myself to listen to a lecture of his, and found it to be crude biological reductionism. Do you actually know his work, or you just assume it must be good? He seems to benefit from the fact that although he's famous, he seems not particularly insightful or informed outside of his field, so everyone assumes he must at least be good in his field. Not necessarily.
That’s pretty funny
“Venezuela here we come” oh dear. Starmer is about as radical as Miss Marple.
Our country died and lays in Flanders Fields and beyond 😢
Personally I regret voting for Boris and the Conservatives ..Never knew Boris was such a war monger
At this point I would welcome a Corbyn government
Nationalising the Railways electric and water companies and price caping rents doesnt sound so daft now does it
Either party (Conservative or Labour) would be a disaster for the country. We need to stop voting for the main parties! We need reform, vote Reform👍
Both Jordan Peterson & Douglas Murray should enter politics and save the world with their sense.
I would have agreed, until Murray's ludicrous stance on Palestine. I'm really disappointed in him and believe his personal emotional issues have gotten the better of him in this issue.
@@anthonyat2401 what do you find obnoxious about Murray's stance on palestine?
I must have missed something.
@@anthonyat2401he visited Israel
He can't visit Palestine because it's not a country
@@PortugalZeroworldcup ... and you don't understand what I wrote because your English isn't adequate.
How is "Iran's "indifference" to the killing of thousands of palestinians" is a horrible thing, while Israel's indifference to the same thing is not really worthy of being talked about? Israel is doing the killings, but it is all the Iranian mullahs' fault? How come?
Well said, Dr Peterson !!!! Agree completely !!
You been asleep for the last 14 years?
@@GerryT. certainly has been
He didn't make a single point or substantiate it. He just called a centre right party 'socialist' and compared Starmer to Chavez. He clearly knows nothing about UK politics but wants to keep his key audience demographics happy with some "left is bad" spiel.
Completely agree too! Labour need to be kept out!!!!
@@MCDONALD6969 You been asleep for the last 14 years?
And 13 years of the Tories has been a success?
No, not at all, but putting Starmer in power will make an already dire situation much worse.
@@andywilliams7323 No, it will make it better.
@@moomin7461Really? Well, you're about to find out, then. The hard way. The same way most people found out about Blair.
This Guy was head of the CPS during the Post Office Scandal and had the power to Halt Process on wrongful convictions of Post Office Staff ,, he did nothing , Think about that when you Vote for Labour 😢
Also during the Rotherham rape gangs and Jimmy Saville.
The post office could prosecute people totally privately. Starmer worked in a public capacity , so What you’re saying isn’t Right.
Vote reform 🇬🇧
What a load of tosh, things were pretty good in 2010 when Labour lost the election, and now it's an absolute mess. Labour have a much better economic record on growth, the Tories do not understand that you have to invest in a country.
JP again talking about stuff that he is clueless about.
> things were pretty good in 2010 when Labour lost the election
Modern day Labour has only less and less to do with Labour back then.
I really appreciate your comment - it reminded me that bad politics, as we experience these days, usually turns into worse politics. If you do a little bit of research, you are going to find out how many European countries experienced pretty much the same issue during the past decade.
Let me assure you - things might, and most likely will become more problematic. So, brace yourself.
@@jeremijakrstic1968The left wing of the labour party have been going ballistic about Starmer working with Blair, Brown and Mandelson. What you're saying simply isn't true. The main criticism would be that it is a continuation of New Labour.
@@jeremijakrstic1968Labour now is almost identical to the Blair/Brown years. Starmer has literally made it is only mission to emulate New Labour and put as much distance between himself and cJeremy Corbyn as possible 😂😂😂😂
Bloke knows absolutely nothing about current UK politics. Labour now is basically a slightly lighter touch Conservative. The UK Labour Party is about as far removed from the socialist ideals of the Labour movement as can be.
🤣 at the rich guy complaining that the poor will have some help from Starmer
The poor bring nothing bar taking so they aren't a priority
They won't though you need to look who is donating to him
14 years of Tory government is catastrophic. Peterson is making an utter fool of himself . Tw@!
The last time Labour was in power The UK was booming.!
Venezuela here we come.... Agree with Dr Peterson here.... Although the Conservatives are also taking us down that path
He has no understanding that Labour and Conservative are practically the same party at this point, and perhaps labour is slightly closer to the political centre, but essentially he is just talking about something he knows absolutely nothing about.
The conservatives did this to themselves. They took their power for granted
JP stick to talking word salad involving areas your qualified in like head shrinkery, uk is dead no matter who is elected, government can only be as strong as the people it represents, uk too fragmented, tribal, divisive and polarised....being thousands of miles away from is a blessing.
Dissecting what JP says, he continuously makes grammatical and general language errors…uses an unnecessary amount of long words to divert the attention of what he’s actually saying- all in all, he’s a very good bullshiter*
Shame so many vulnerable men listen to him
We can’t have this bell end starmer running this country. Reform is the choice
Morgan keeping his mouth shut is a first nice one, TRUTH IS BEST
WTF does he know about UK Politics !!!
Labour equals total nightmare
@@ABRAM_BEATS Really? I remember them being absymal, which is why they got voted out.
@@ABRAM_BEATS I remember they just kept borrowing more and more money, they opened the flood gates for hordes of immigrants, and dragged us into an immoral war.
Tories equals perpetual nighmare
Time for total change, vote reform uk
Yes, we are hungry for change ... the only problem is 'None of the above thieves, liars and self-servers' is the only option that doesn't appear on the ballot form.
The fact he referred to Labour as 'Socialist' just says it all. He should stick to writing shit books.
Up to the British people to decide
Decide' REFORM UK!🇬🇧
@@daveglynn748 no chance without PR
Tories been in power 14 years the country in mess .This guy talking rubbish.
I am resigned to the UK voting for starmer. Four years of dreadful decline, the necessary pain to wake people up. (Please wake up!) Then maybe things can get better. Trouble is I haven't got many years left.
Thank god
Trouble is that the UK will have sunk so low in those 5 years that it will be difficult to recover
Keir Starmer’s behaviour as chief prosecutor is what prevents me from voting for his Labour government. Trying to stitch up Damian Green with a prison sentence by claiming that the leaking of the intelligence Green gained (about Labour) was compromising national security, when really all it was doing was flagging up Labour malpractice. I don’t think we’ll end up with Venezuela, but Starmer is not to be trusted. The real clincher for me is that he ruled that police who dupe women into sexual relationships, fathering children with them etc. while undercover, should have impunity….
Reform party!
We need to vote REFORM UK. Yes, I understand a Keir Starmer government will result in this election but if you really want change, and a proper conservative party, that step is necessary. The useless Tories must go and there's no sense in sending them your vote if you're looking long range.
Let’s hope plenty of labour voters are JP fans. Might at least get some of them to think, rather than blindly ticking the red box “because that’s what I always do” later this year. A strong protest vote is needed to at least try to force change. With Tories or Labour in power the UK will continue walking (although recently it feels more like a jog) towards its doom.
The main topic is immigration yet in 2003 Kier Starmer took Labour to court and won it was about giving immigrants the right to benefits and thats why we are in this situation now.
Bang on the money as always.
Jordan Peterson doesn't understand UK politics enough to make comments on this. He, Canadians and Americans always assume that we're as socially polarised as they are. It just doesnt operate like that and Labour voters are not comparable to social marxists that he fears. The Conservatives need out of this country and the only chance we have of making that happen is voting Labour.
It's all good and well saying a Labour victory would be catastrophic for the country, and personally I believe it! But, to continue with the present status quo in my mind would be just as bad which displays how rotten and predictable British politics is! Until this mutually convenient two party state is broken I can't see much change ahead which explains the present contempt and disdain Westminster has for the people of this country, if a strong and viable third party can emerge it would definitely change the political landscape and perhaps add a bit of fresh air to what is a stale and rancid political cabal!
OK this guy doesn't have a clue on UK Politics. Labour have moved so far to the centre Starmer even praised Thatcher at one stage haha. A labour government will make little difference to the current status quo. I don't know why helping the poorest and most vulnerable is so abhorrent to JP. It was better pre the 2010 coalition for anyone that experienced life on disability benefit fro example.
The Tories have had power for too long. Nobody should have power this long. We need a new party in power.
This is how it tends to be in the UK. Since WW2 1945-51 Labour, 1951-64 Tory, 1964-79 (basically labour with 3 year break in the middle), 1979-97 Tory, 1997-2010 Labour and now 2010-24 Tory
The only way forward for the UK is to vote for Reform UK!
JP is not an expert in this matter as much as i hate Kier
Ha vote Labour because you want a change, Tories and Labour are the same party at different speeds. The reason Labour are predicted to win is because the people who want an actual conservative government have rightfully lost faith in the Tories and won’t be voting. A victory due to the nation’s apathy is not a victory, but it’s the only win Labour could possibly have.
It’s easy to forget, the Tories can lay crown to the worst UK Pm of all time in 2022. In Liz we Truss 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I see a tragic similarity between the two wars mentioned.........Iran is willing to fight Israel to the last Palestinian, and America is willing to fight Russia, to the last Ukrainian. Its so sad to watch all the innocents caught in the crossfire.
So despite the Tories ruining the UK in the last 12 years Labour would be catastrophic 😂
It's always everyone else's fault but the Tories, lol. 😂😂
The fact that Peterson thinks Starmer or Labour are socialist completely undermines any point he may have - not that he seems to be making one at all. Keep out of UK politics Mr Peterson, your psychological work is very interesting, but this is clearly not a topic you have any knowledge of.
What Jordon Peterson says is not only right, it's also well-known by anyone who doesn't rely on the corporate media for news. I've got to say though, I was surprised Piers Morgan didn't interrupt Peterson (and keep doing it) as he does others who say much the same thing.
Anyone who understands politics, markets and ideology can see that the Uk is a sinking ship for the next 15 years at least
they're all corporate media. controlled opposition. wake up
We kicked Jacinda out on her arse and NZ is so woke and now we have a govt on the right it's all about undoing all the damage. We also have a stupid system of proportional representation which gives parties almost no one voted for a disproportionate amount of power.
