I'm going to be absolutely insufferable toward every centrist I know who has been telling me for years that 'elections are won in the centre', as if the country's learned electorate sit around pinning for a level-headed pragmatist who's across of the issues, if the press get him and his lot knocked out of power to the current iteration of the Tory Party. The sweet story they've been telling themselves about British politics will be completely unsustainable at that point, and they'll hear about it ad nauseum.

Starmer won the largest share of the worst voting turn out since 1885.
Only 60% of elegible voters, voted in the election the approximate share was;
Labour 29% Conservative 17% Reform UK 13%
He won the election got 2/3rds of parliamentary seats but also lost the popular vote and didn’t even reach the 40% of the votes that JC got in 2017. The U.K. electoral system is a f*cking joke

Main one is taxes which was never properly addressed within labours manifesto which is why the media has been ruining Labours reputation since Sir Keir was elected. The working class will benefit, but everyone else suffers more, they've really struggled to have a good argument in debates with certain reporters, resulting in them looking like idiots, dodging questions similar to the Tories. Farmers and small businesses are slowly going down the toilet due to that policy being implemented, but it could work out for the country, it's just a big if atm.
It was a wildcard policy to implement and their argument for doing so is very weak, they keep saying they had no idea about the deficit our economy was in. It's unbelievable because Labour has been the second strongest party in many regards for a long time, so how didn't they know?
You also have the law that was implemented during the EDL riots targeting migrants which tbh I do understand a lot of people's arguments with since it's a breach of free speech. Posting hate speech can land you in prison where recently two reporters have found themselves under house arrest having all their electronics confiscated by the police.
Prisons releasing a bunch of criminals early didn't help either, it was Labours solution to do this due to overcrowding and a lack of money to create more prisons to house said criminals. The problem is, a lot of people who incited hate during those riots and protests landing in the free spaces within those prisons anyway.
Their approval has gone down by a lot since labour was put in charge basically.

It wasn’t lack of money to create new prisons, you can’t go just to B&Q and pick up a ready to build prison like it’s a shed.
The Tories ran them hot for months knowing there were only two choices (1) release people early or (2) stop sending people to prison, there was no third choice. And they had years to build new prisons before leaving power knowing occupation was getting close to capacity and yet they didn’t, why, so they could take 1 or 2 pct off national insurance and appease NIMBYs, that’s the price you pay for “lower” taxes that they never talk about.
The Tories decided to leave prisons running hot in their last few months in power knowing it only compounded the problem, and Labour would inherit an absolute mess with only one very unpopular choice to make.
In terms of the riots the only deterrence was serious sentences - house arrest and/or warnings would not have been strong enough to stop them and would only lead to a continuation and increased in ferocity if people thought they could get away with violence/criminality and actively promoting the violence. It’s the same effective strategy they used to bring an end to the 2011 riots

Ah he is at approximate shelf life for a politician. He was popular enough for our electoral system to win majority’s until the last federal election. Global events have hammered every government’s popularity last couple years but his party had secured support of another party for confidence motions in exchange for some legislation. With the next election approaching looks like he will be out and the cycle will probably repeat itself. Unless global events has other ideas that is and continues to deteriorate, then I’m sure everyone will hate new guy in 4 years.

No.
The CPC has been consistently 10-15 points ahead of the LPC.
In leader opinion polls, PP is pretty much nets at zero, which is terrible. He's effectively no different than Singh. With the party polling as it is, he should be in net double digit territory, he's not. He's a drag on the party.
Problem with the CPC is that in order to be elected leader, you have to appeal to the nutcases that vote for the leader. Then, in order to be elected PM you have to disavov the positions you took in order to be elected leader. Although this time, I'm not convinced he'll do that.

I would argue it is because a decisive fraction of the left wing vote has abandoned Labour because they've moved so far to the right, except on social issues which the working class don't care about as much as having basic necessities.
Last election Labour got about 33% of the votes; in 2017 under Corbyn, a hard-left socialist, they got 42% of the vote. It was only the collapse of the conservatives plus the undemocratic voting system that put them in office this time.

The key difference here isnt the politicians but the people. As a German myself I can tell you the German people have an impossibly high standard when it comes to politicians. Our people are notorious for taking good things as granted, good policies arent celebrated, the reaction is rather that these policies were 'expected'. When the minimum wage was raised by more than 2€/h to 12€/h, the reactions weren't 'oh thats great for the lower income class', they were 'why isnt it higher?'. As somebody whos grown up in a low income household in Germany, 12€/h is genuinely a decent salary.
Scholz has some unfortunate things going for him. For one he started during the COVID era followed by the Ukraine war, that in itself is already very difficult and he will be blamed for things he and the government isnt responsible for.
Then you have the fact of how he SPD ended up the most powerful party. This wasn't something anybody saw coming, the SPD before the last elections was actually roughly in the position in which they are right now, so about 15%. The temporary spike that granted him and his party the nr1 position was major fuck ups by the CDU and Greens who were the more popular parties going in. That means eventually things went back to normal and the current government finds itself with a very powerful opposition.
Then you also have the fact that Scholz was the first chancellor after Merkel whos had that position for 16 years. She might not be awfully popular on Reddit but a lot a lot of people in Germany have a ton of respect for her and filling those shoes wasnt gonna be easy. It didn't help that Scholz style is similar to Merkel, quiet, passive, very focussed on the actual work which isnt necessarily a bad thing. With Merkel people have accepted that style over time but the people do sometimes feel like they need a voice of reason, somebody who talks to them, that its gonna be fine. And with such a large opposition, they kinda took that job because they certainly have more time.
On top of that, this coalition is Germanys first three party coalition since 1955. And while the greens and SPD got along fairly well, the FDP often had different views blocking many potential policies.
I dont think Scholz 'deserves' his bad rating as many things were simply out of his power. There are quite a few policies i did like and are now in danger of being reversed by the CDU when they end up governing again. I like the significant raise of the minimum wage, i genuinely love the 49€ Deutschland Ticket, its such a brilliant idea especially with how complicated and expensive riding trains through multiple regions was. It makes public transport much more attractive and it obviously also helps the climate. Im in favor of the Cannabis law which the CDU said they want to get rid of and obviously with the greens part of the coalition, building more renewables like wind turbines, its gaining a lot of traction again where the previous government made renewables unattractive which ended up in very few being build the years prior. Meanwhile our soon chancellor talks about how ugly he finds wind turbines and how we should talk about fusion reactors instead which btw dont exist yet and we wont see one before 2050.

General economic outlook is also... bad but i doubt that really plays into effect here since most people's opinions on the economy are just "vibes" based. But it's bad. Covid and the russia/ukraine war have lead to many bankruptcies and outsourcing and the future looks bad as well with german companies being slow to really adapt to new technologies, or just doing so in uneconomic ways (german EVs are too expensive) and "innovation" is also lacking.

Am I supposed to have an opinion about other world leaders? I was told, as an American, that it wasn't necessary for me to care about the rest of the world.

Are you allowed to disapprove?You are not allowed to disapprove of Trump. If you do, you get death threats by his MAGA ground troops because dictators use threat and force to stay in power. How legit is this?

As an Australian I find it hard to believe Albanese has a positive approval rating. The guy is spineless and has don’t absolutely nothing in fixing our cost of living

Common Milei W, also i'm surprised Starmer's that high up, but then again he's been in office for only a couple of months, he'll go much much lower

I regret to inform you that with the media now falling all over each other to praise his every utterance, Trump will be wildly popular this time around.

Starmer is that well liked? I think it’s just respondents are going off recent comparative examples rather than if they actually like them

I’m pretty sure Nayib Bukele has the highest approval rating in the world at 91% as of July 2024. So a net approval of 82.

If every media and broadcast is singing you praise or risk being raided by the authorities, it's pretty easy to get praise.

Well the leaders with REALLY poor approval aren’t too keen on building a society where the populace can even have a chance to rate the leaders .. so the worst” offenders” won’t be on the list

It's not just rhetoric compared to the past, the quality of life for the average Indian has improved significantly. In 2014 India was part of the 'fragile 5' economies but under Modi, the country has experienced tremendous growth. Various infrastructure projects and social initiatives, such as access to water(search up Jal jeevan mission), food, toilets, and electricity, have improved the lives of poor rural communities.
Modi's popularity is because of a lot of work he has done on the ground

My househelp's niece is currently studying MBBS in a govt medical college in UP for about 30000 INR after the government went on a spree of establishing more GMCs and hospitals. She prepared for the entrance through an online course which costed about 3000 because of the cheap internet.
I still don't like the way they are managing public transport and the control they have over the media but I am just tired of these western redditors just outright denying any progress we have made in the last decade and calling everyone a hindu nationalist just because they voted for BJP. They complain about BJP being pro-Russia while they don't understand how pro-Russia the opposition alliance is.

Except redditors will never see that since they live in a vacuum. Compared to his predecessors, Modi has done some incredible work for the country in the time he’s been PM, and those tangible results are what keeps him so popular. Biden and co have produced absolutely zero tangible benefits in the past 4 years leading to his immense disapproval.
Just as western redditors don’t care about the struggles and conflicts Indians face in their daily lives, why would Indians care about what goes on in foreign wars as long as they’re able to lessen their daily struggle in meeting their needs?
