Are there certain members you won't talk to about politics?

@joe438 yeah exactly at least in U.K. we have a choice in most constituencies of at least 5-6 different parties 3 main parties and a selection of minor parties/ independents and manifestos where we can vote on which aligns closest with what would want - even if a politician wins in a location, which goes on to hold overall majority they sometimes pay attention to the numbers voting for other parties to temper their policies to be palatable to all population. Sometimes doesn’t work like manifesto in 2015 having referendum assuming Conservatives would compromise with a coalition government but had majority.

@QuietEd2019 I can remember when politicians from different parties in the U.S. worked together to do the job they were elected to do. You have to go back quite way in U.S. history to see that. I'd be fine with either party in charge here if I had *any* confidence that the group would give/take and discuss issues. They won't, so we have no choice but to fight over who gets to be in charge. No matter who that is, half of the country will be unrepresented.

@joe438 yeah I noticed that whichever party is in power the other party dedicated itself to undermining everything
