How British Politics Became A Meme

Gareth Southgate wears goggles to drink a glass of water

I luv Phat’s content. I’m body positive that way

LARRY THE CAT would do a better Job than any of these Clowns. Do you think Starmer will still be there in 2029? Larry will still be there😂

niko is just cringe and its bad content and just plane strange, hes a grown man trying to use the lingo of 12 year olds for viiews, what a strange man

You mentioned Liz Truss’ mini budget without mentioning what the Bank of England did that was the actual cause of her downfall

Nigel farage for Prime Minister

I wish we could have normal politics. Someone with a bit of charisma and solid integrity. No one like this is in any leadership position currently.

Poor public services,patchy education system, regional divergences, flaling infrastructure, faltering politicians and diminished standing on global stages are the current scenario of the UK. Trust and confidence in politics and constitutional set-up is at a historic law. There is a visceral anger on a host of issues like immigration, the Ukraine war and soaring cost of living. But the disconnect between the ruling elite and the citizens is highly visible.

Politics went from persuading the public that you are better than the alternative to showing how the alternative is worse than you.

Right wing populism requires a figurehead with a strong personality at the helm in order for those who follow to latch onto, absurdity whilst you typically wouldn't consider it a respectable trait is however a strong one, and provides a barrier from critique as criticisms of core beliefs become dismissed as shallow because followers only see the surface facade.

Now its a different Pm what do you think of him?

A MEME?

You know the way things are now with Starmer i really thought he would be a shit show.

You know tho hes probably really going to help this country.

Seems hes not going to fuck about.

Not like the right wing fucking Trump of the US

I think hes making some really controversial decisions that are going to piss us all off.

Hes going to i hope un fuck a lot of our previous prime minsters mistakes.

I think he might for a long time be someone that's going to be a bit harder to meme.

Ya im thinking he is a bit of a hard ass Hitler right now.

Bet most of the young genz hate him but.

I dont know thinking hes probably...... mabe.... what we need.... mabe!!

I think the British public just dont trust the government.

Which should always be the way.

Even our best was no saint.

You know who i mean x

We always had a sense of humour in this country.

Sadly, we learned it by laughing at the joyless upperclass.

So they exclusively never developed one.

Iron Politics

Just give up the power to the king😂

Ed Balls

So many of these types of videos get the pronunciation of Ruislip wrong (great besides that though lol)

Nigel Farage is a living, breathing meme

Nigel and reform became popular on tiktok as they weren’t cringe. Nigel acts like a normal bloke who drinks and smokes, he talks to people normally and on the same level. That’s why people like him, he’s real. You wouldn’t catch sunak or starmer stopping in the street to talk to a bunch of lads about anything other than their ideologies and ‘vote labour’ ‘vote conservative’. People like that Nigel isn’t afraid to say anything in fear of offending others, something that has swamped politics now.

When joke candidates are more serious than the actual candidates

Politicians shouldn't do memes. THAT'S OUR JOB!

lol that Farage Minecraft video! I only saw that a couple of days ago and here it is again haha.

Choices are, Tory, Tory lite and Hitler with a pint.

Us politics is funnier

They are a joke, as an English guy myslef

I think we forget that a lot of the memes aren't designed for young people as the only people who are young persay are those between 18-25, as say 15-17 year olds don't vote. A lot of the memes are designed for people anywhere from the ages of 18-50. Particularly for millennials who a lot of the cringe in modern politics is designed for.

The only political party that can actually make good memes are the Democrats in the US I would imagine because they have an actual gen Z who actually knows what we want to look at but it doesn't change my opinion on the facts for the last couple years all political parties in all people running for the US Presidency are clowns

Will my country even survive the coming years?

My goals have both been intertwined

I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed this too.😐

England is falling

Wow our leaders are too busy meming and making tiktok accounts to actually run the country properly...

Nigel Farage is so funny

The house of commons and John Bercow are the best memes

It's pronounced Rye-slip. Source: I'm from there.

Political memes have been good fun, but it's extremely sad that it can influence people now and are used to do so, i just wanna go back to Boris Johnson being a bit quirky

Vote Niko!!

I remember in my History lessons years ago, learning about political cartoons and reviewing them. I feel this is just the progression of the modernized and our future will review these memes similarly.

Niko omilana as funny as a week in the jail

Well we had to make memes since we didn’t have any sky tv 😭

British politics has always been a meme though????? monster raving looney party has been running since the 80s, The Natural Law party ran in the 80s too. Nick Clegg's "I'm sorry" song, etc etc. It's not inherently a bad thing, we're just British & taking the piss is exactly what we do! The internet just makes it way more accessible.

yeah but nigel farage is actually funnyj

Someone show this man indian politics lol

With how short liz ran for minister I forgot she existed and I live in the uk

BLACK MIRORR MENTIONED 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥☄️☄️☄️🔥🔥☄️☄️☄️

Unfortunately your democracy is still way more stable than mine in the states

"But at least back in the day..." Boy oh boy should you ever read what the English Liberals wrote about the Irish at the time of the great famine. You think politics was better back then? No hon. It was always a shitshow. And the system was always a Plutocracy pretending that "the people" had a choice when, in truth, they never did.

I’m voting Waldo
