    There seems to be a lot of admiration for China, and a general hatred of the UK & US governments on here.

    Considering South Wales and Cardiff are generally more socialist areas than anything else, it shouldn't be surprising if it is.

    The first bit is bollocks, the second half of your statement is understandable. What is actually good about both countries' governments?

    The UK Government are a bunch of horrible greedy *****
    The US Government are 1000 times worse
    The Chinese Government so bad they are beyond comparisson with the other 2.

    Re: Is this a leftie board?

    South wales is generally a left leaning area when it comes to politics

    Cardiff , swansea , the valleys , bridgend , port talbot , neath , newport , llanelli have by and large been represented by non right wing politicians for generations

    Swing seats include the vale of glamorgan and cardiff north and tory seats like Monmouth may as well be located in the surrey stockbroker belt

    So a message board that caters for the supporters of a club based in an area that is mostly left wing voting is going to be mostly left wing

    There’s a swing to the right everywhere though, Working class people now vote for parties that don’t have their best interests at heart.

    I've said before I don't know why people are shocked that a board of (mainly) South Walians is left leaning, just look at the election results of the last century!

    And they are soon going to see the results of their vote

    I still have sympathy for anyone who voted for them though, the media and social media have done a great job in promoting the tories and undermining labour.

    The right wing seem to be experts at using social media to spread this.

    There was also the perfect storm of labour having an unelectable leader.

    I think people seem to forget how many seats Labour won in Corbyn's first general election. The media really went for him after that as he was seen as a viable threat, where he wasn't before (hence Theresa May calling the early GE predicting a landslide victory).

    They each have their problems, but I would definitely stick with the UK given the choice of the three.

    China is an authoritarian dictatorship, and people who cross it are very harshly dealt with. Corruption is also rife and there is no independent media to hold the leadership to account.
    Britain knew what this regime was like and handed over 5 million+ Hong Kong citizens to an oppressive regime without even giving them a say in the matter (the 99 year lease didn't actually apply to Hong Kong Island, only other islands and north of the Kowloon peninsula)
    China has seen in recent decades a remarkable improvement in living standards for many of its people and it is easy to miss that looking from the outside - people within China are certainly aware of it, that said they were starting from a much lower base than the west.

    The USA and UK have different problems. Their goverments are just motivated to get re elected in the next elections, so there is little long term planning, a lot of playing to the crowd and in both countries 2 parts systems that don't allow the majority of people to actually vote for what they want, with increasing gerrymandering and voter supression in both (still - better than a 1 party system).
    Additionally the media and especially now social media holds a lot of power. This means that they (us and usa) can be far too easily manipulated by powerful billionaires, global corporations, and nefarious foreign powers, which is seriously undermining the principles of democracy .

    I wold definitely prefer the UK of the three currently, but we are on a concerning trajectory.

    Yes I’d take the U.K. government over those other 2 every day of the week. But they are far from perfect especially with how populism has crept in.

    The thing that’s got me is the use of social media by billionaires and governments was something that should have been jumped on by conspiracy theorists etc but they seem to be the ones that get taken in by it the most easily.

    It’s crazy how many of them are pro trump.

    This interesting article talks about how facebook has become more right wing. probably also as its user base has got progressively older.

    https://www.wsj.com/articles/faceboo...ns-11590507499
    And this shows how they became aware they were fuelling increasingly divisive content that was weighted heavily to the right wing, and had identified steps to redress that balance, but it was shut down by the top management
