One is a case of good/great government, the other is now led by an anti-vaxxer who blames Ukraine for Russia invading it.
OTOH, we just watched the UK PM resign after 6 weeks out of incompetence which was preceded by one of the more corrupt and incompetent gov't (Boris Johnson) in UK's history. The UK's current predicament is the result of one man, David Cameron, who in trying to keep his job as Conservative leader offered to run a referendum on EU membership despite knowing full well that was a TERRIBLE thing to do.
I could also name you numerous businesses which have been run horribly - WeWork is a good example - but I could also name you businesses that have been run great.

Completely agree.
What is frustrating is this notion that -anything- related to even BORDERLINE conservative values is TrUMp!!!
Like has Sim even come out and said anything about how he wants to run the city besides maybe being a bit fiscally responsible and people are already shitting on him? The city is a fucking mess.
