Well that's the trouble. We did. We voted out the Tories, only to get a government that now does the same or worse. It's not hard to see why people feel like giving up on politics.

I think you exaggerated in degree.
But, given a government must deal with the real world, sometimes, that the real world poses and sets us problems, and that some of those have less than two solutions, one government is likely to do the same as another, or by avoiding it, worse.
Sometimes.

➡️ I think the real world is determined and constructed by those types with their default perspectives of war by #design - Governments and groups especially - all towards conflict or battling on people rather than with them (home or away as the battle / #war against everyone - never with them unless it's more #economic #war which is longer / unseen damage / extraction / business. All the same.

====================
So it's part of the same thing not so separate even if they find themselves in another war - even that is not by chance.
Imagine 'these' countries all doing #business with #Russia for gas - knowing how bad they were from before and now hardly willing to fight or condemn them. that's what you get for jumping in bed for so many years with bad controllers of that country.
And they knew / know it.
Impossible they didn't know who they were funding and building a #gas pipeline to / from and building a fragile civilisation upone that destined to die when inevitable trouble starts (again).
=================
➡️ Government's main directives are directly against the people (even if it's seen through public's eye of as "helping" but really still doing more of the same) IT IS USED TO PROFIT FROM THEM,
RAW PROFIT, NOT CARING AS THE BUSINESS MODEL!

⭐ Knowing and expecting that main thing is ESSENTIAL to not using or trusting them more. ⭐
and so....
🔴 ultimately power to itself and not people
🔴 profit over people
🔴 always going to put itself first
🔴 use even hospitals for that same thing (economic #war, profit, human energy extraction)
🔴 make sure it just tightens these thigns over time (I think history proves this)
and we cannot expect Government or rich or powerful to EVER give up that in favour of people as that naturally goes against directives / power construct.
♦️ I think we have to accept that we literally have to do it ALL OF IT OURSELVES (#DIY) and can't trust or invest any more.
Re-do relationships from me and you so those politics are clearer and nearer than 'those' politics (distant, taking money, uncontrolled ETC)...
Take out losses and re-do intelligence between the people...
How many times people have to be lied to and stolen from more brutally depends, but I feel it's all self-evident and even if we still need them on this tangent created, we can use them less and increase out own personal politics and understandings more.
This is why #TommyRobinson gets support - might not be the answer but is example of #DIY because you know the bad you're always getting with Gov setup almost being copied and pasted like a sick dog meme and people still complaining about it or about another president.
Just have to do it yourself. And talking about it AND building best you can helps.
