    This could just be some ignorance on my part, I am probably using words wrong… I live in Australia. We have more than two parties but as far as I know it’s only ever been labor or liberals in power. I know technically it’s liberals/nationals, but y’know. It’s mostly just that the majority of people seem fine voting for one of those two.

    We also have that lol. Still just the two parties. But to be a little optimistic we are starting to see a lot more support for one of the third parties, and they have been able to affect some small, but positive, change. I think the younger generations are slowly breaking that mindset of just voting for the big two who have failed us so far.

    I could be wrong but I thought this was also how UBI would be implemented? It would just be a safety net for those without employment?

    Edit: I just googled it and I am indeed wrong. What I was thinking of is called a guaranteed minimum income. That makes a bit more sense to me than a UBI, but if it wasn’t apparent I’m obviously not well read on the topics.
