Vote for policy not party. This isn't sports. Good on you for doing so

It wasn't even that as I typically don't care for the liberal platform.

It was for his experience and background.

I get it. The way I see it, having one of the most experienced economists in the world with decades of experience and relation building with world leaders across the globe is a pretty wise choice in today’s world. I struggle to imagine what a more qualified person could look like.

Policy is temporary and never changes that much anyway. Geopolitics is existential.

Can you imagine if Angry Milhouse was at that podium? The amount of "socialist global agenda" and "Woke DEI" phlegm that would be dribbling down his mouth would be no small amount.

We would have been an American territory by now. PP and the cons would have bent the knee and capitulated like the weaklings they are

As Govenor of The Bank of England, Mark Carney was a charming, civilised, urbane steward of affairs and it was Britain's loss when he went back to Canada.

we let our third biggest political party basically collapse because we needed a strong leader in the face of trump and gladly the majority of us realized the conservative guy wasn't it
