The right wingers over here are much the same but during the last presidential election their candidates were saying things like; let the uninsured die, the poor are poor because it is their fault, gay solders deserve to die etc.. and it bit them in the nuts. The economic crash over here was caused by greedy unregulated corporations and too many middle income folks lost a lot of savings and homes for most folks to listen to that kind of hate filled rhetoric. But it scared me plenty. If one of those fanatics had won there would be the same brush fires going on over here. The problem with brush fires is that they often get out of control and take the whole forest with it. That means a lot of casualties.
So those fanatics have turned their gnashing onto the abortion, health-care & war on women intent to destroy whatever they can in the name of their hate. Frankly the entire world seems to be overrun with these right winged nuts in every country right now. In the 60's the world leaned liberal now its tilting the other direction, perhaps someday if we don't self destruct we can find the balance between the two extremes.
The voting rights is one of the issues that they are spending lots of time and money on and it is outrageous since many studies have proved there is very little to no fraud going on in voting. Not by the voters anyway, but the majority parties often twist things by changing demographies to their favor and trying to make it harder for minorities to vote. They do this in hopes of overrunning the government for their causes. I'm not sure about the duration of service times in UK but here it is 4 years & 6 years so the really bad ones usually get weeded out after a term or two. But it is getting harder and harder to keep the checks in balance as both parties now cater more and more to only the wealthy, & money buys votes though ignorance & lies.
