Summary

I've reached an inflection point.

I no longer believe Britain's political system can fix itself. This isn't about left vs right, Labour vs Conservative, or the next election. It's about unconstrained power, broken incentives and a system that rewards failure while hollowing out the next generation.

In this PMQs episode, I explain why I'm withdrawing my consent from the British state and why so many young people have already done the same.
This isn't apathy.

It's a vote of no confidence.

In this episode:
– Why politicians care about only one thing: staying in power
– How unconstrained government creates inevitable failure
– The collapse of trust in institutions
– Why young people feel betrayed by the system
– Nick Fuentes, Piers Morgan & generational revolt
– Why Reform and the Greens are the same phenomenon
– The moral failure of intergenerational debt
– Why Britain needs limits on power, not new parties

0:00.0	Hello, hello, welcome to another episode of the podcast. I'm Peter McCormack.
0:11.6	Got your boy, your Bedford Groper. Conner here, how you doing, man?
0:15.5	Who's the grouper now, actually? Who's the grouper now?
0:18.2	You're the grouper.
0:20.3	It has been an, it's been an interesting week.
0:23.7	I don't think I've ever had a week where I've read so much, written so much.
0:28.9	I wrote four articles.
0:30.8	I call this, I call this week an inflection point where I think I've, I think I've given my last fuck.
0:38.7	I'm done pretending that what we have here, this democracy that we have in this country
0:46.1	works anymore.
0:46.7	I'm done.
0:47.1	I'm over it.
0:49.3	I want to talk about that today.
0:50.8	I want to talk about a couple of things.
0:53.9	The inflection point came. I watched
0:55.7	an interview between Pierce Morgan and Nick Fuentes. And I didn't know much about Nick
1:00.6	Fuentes at the time. I'd seen a couple of clips about him. Just seemed like some crazy
1:06.6	ultra-right-wing American guy. And I watched this interview with Piers Morgan and I had to
1:13.8	reflect. I had a moment of reflection, thought about it a lot, ended up writing loads. And
1:19.7	going through that process, I kind of came to the point where I'm done. I'm done. I am done with the state of our democracy and the state of our government. I'm done. I'm done. I am done with the state of our democracy and the state of our government. I'm done with the decay. I'm done with the left-right arguments. I'm done with the infighting. I'm done with the culture wars. I think every problem we have right now in this country is downstream of the limitations of our government.
1:46.8	And so I'm going to shift my focus.
1:50.2	I'm going to shift my focus.
