If voters don't trust Government & a resulting cynicism about politics spreads further, then democracy is under threat from populists & other agitators who claim to offer another way to organise society.
This may not be accidental but an agenda driven by the right to push us into the eager hands of anti-democratic forces;
However, this corrosion of trust has been compounded by a media that has forced/allowed centre & left into similar sorts of duplicity.
@ChrisMayLA6 I think the results of the locals somewhat belie that analysis - the ones that were drastically underreported by the media. Huge gains for the Greens, loads of indie wins, and Labour doubling down on the "it's not us, it's them" position with regard to the votes they lost because of Palestine. Remember, after all the hulabaloo, Reform only won two seats.
