I'm really angry with the British government right now. In some ways they're worse than the Tories, because at least with them you knew where you stood. With Starmer he keeps trying to outdo the far right, which leads to them adopting even further right policies, and him adopting them and so on. The cracking down on freedom of speech is genuinely scary, whether it be through the online safety act or abusing terrorism legislation to proscribe direct action groups. They need to fix the housing and healthcare crises urgently, but they're tinkering at the seams while the far right are on the cusp of taking power in 2029.
On the local level, I don't like our elected assembly much either, and I feel like all they do is pose for photoshoots and blame all their mistakes on the government in London.

Parliament: They're alright, just a bit boring. And that's a good thing. -

Our leader is a lying business man, told a ton of bullshit during the campaign. I'm talking about Mark Carney of Canada. The Liberal party has shifted so far to the right, it's hard to tell the Liberals and Conservatives apart.
The Liberals also want to take away our Charter (our version of the USA Constitution) protected rights to privacy.We have a bit of a power struggle in Halifax, Nova Scotia with the Provincial leader Tim Houston wanting to overrule municipal decisions. If Houston is bored, we have a health care and housing crisis that will give Houston plenty of work.

City: seems like we have an incompetent administration.
Province: Actively harmful
National: Undecided, but it should keep clapping near the money.

It's also not like City Hall has been doing a bang up job either.

city government: run by suburban car lovers, absolutely intractable, getting bike or bus lanes might as well be happening on the moon
state government: run by liberals who largely run near or entirely un-opposed. They do good things sometimes, but are simultaneously incapable of forcing municipalities to do good things, and roll over the feds when pressed. For example, no resistance to the fucked up ICE kidnapping campaign that's still going on.
National government is a hot mess and voting in my state has had a zero percent chance of influencing it in every election I've been alive for.

All bad honestly.
State and country ruled by right wingers. The city ruled by a green party that plays the citizens out against each other so they don't have to do anything.

Current Country: USA. Absolutely fucked.
Current State and City: Eh, just the average bullshit, nothing bad as the federal
Former Country: PRC. Absolutely fucked x2. Except there wouldn't even be a "No Kings" type of widespread protest. Corruption everywhere. There is no "FDA" (or if there is, they never do anything about food safety), there is no "FTC", there is no "FDIC", there is no laws protecting consumers like if some fraudster stole money from your bank, oh well, (at least bank in the US might help you). No Medical privacy laws. And no "ADA" equivalent. No independent unions (there is supposedly a government controlled one that does jack shit), very lax worker safety regulations, and if your employer doesn't pay you, good luck, there's no government agency that'll help you. For a country that obsess about control regulation, there sure is a lack of regulation
.Seems like the EU is the final beacon of actual freedom and prosperity, but unfortunately, I probably don't qualify to immigrate to.

Capital= very happy actually, the transport system is amazing, access to almost anything within walking range, only minor issues.
Isfahan (the city I go to uni)= medium to frustrated. The transportation is decent, not great. It is basically run by a mosque or prayer leader with minimum education, no idea of politics or city management. Extreme water shortage, dusty weather due to poor management of a crucial river passing the city. And the uni just kicked out most of the girls in dorms to open up space for international students(dollars baby!)
Country(Iran)= almost everybody planning to imigrate, so pretty obvious ig.

South Korea, I'm pretty happy overall. Previous president attempted self coup but failed and got impeached(#), now things are mostly going well.

Pretty happy. There’s universal healthcare, there’s decent investment in infrastructure and when there’s corruption, people tend to go to jail. There are two main parties and although things are bitterly contentious between them, neither one seems to be radically rewriting the social contract. It’s not perfect of course, but seems like paradise compared to the country I moved from, which sadly has fallen to the fascists. Of course, there’s a giant authoritarian country next door that keeps saying they are going to invade us, so it probably won’t last.
