Fellow Wikimedians, I am Activatedyeast. My username's namesake is (quite obviously), a fungi called yeast that has had water and some sugar added.

Opinions and Ranting
I'm currently studying Law at A-Level and currently interested in British politics (including the recent General Election), the (hopefully ill-fated) downfall of the Tories. I am a supporter of the Liberal Democrat's policies, especially in regards to undoing Brexit and rejoining the European Union, although it is acknowledged as a 'long term objective.' In my opinion, Nigel Farage i s an extremist (in many ways, especially xenophobia) and Reform shouldn't be considered a serious party, and especially not a threat to any party except maybe the Scottish National Party or Alba Party. I used to be Labour until Keir Starmer announced principles that he would not do in terms of integration with the EU such as freedom of movement; I am not alone in this opinion either.

About French politics, I think Le Pen is basically a French copy of Nigel Farage and shouldn't be taken seriously either. Being on the right doesn't make anyone an automatic 'Farage clone', but the far-right seriously should be slapped with some hate speech allegations. As a result, I'm glad that she made it no where and more sensible individuals (I am not endorsing Macron, just saying that he's less 'crazy' than The Pen) Not to mention certain allegations against her, which just goes to show that being an extremist means you can't be grounded at the same time.

I don't particularly identify as any part of the political spectrum, with my opinions not being dictated by predescribed moulds, rather, solely based on my opinion. Identifying with a side is okay, but being far on any side should raise some concerns. And that's how I think people should act — not because their party or their 'side' thinks that way, but what they ( as a separate individual ) think. My current association with the Lib Dems solely rests on the fact that they agree with my opinions mostly, but not all. Furthermore, I'm an advocate and proponent of retaining the House of Lords and the monarchy of the United Kingdom as it provides political stability that has proven its worth for centuries. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. They can serve as an effective check, not focused on short-term  'will I win this election policies that serve no purpose than opinion polls, and rather on the merits of the bill at hand. In fact, I say repeal the Parliament Act 1911' and give the HOL equal rights as the Commons as it is technically the 'upper house', and that erroneous mood swings can't drive Britain to the ground (ahem, Liz Truss for literally driving the pound to the ground, and Boris Johnson for Brexit.)

Although informed in American politics (only to a level sufficient for minor/moderate edits), I am not particularly interested in it as it's just 100-year old men fighting it out with each other and none of them have any sense of competence (while both universally qualify for ineptitude.) One man wants to go to war like General MacArthur, and the other is too soft and can't remember words or form coherent sentences. Similarly, Canadian politics is quite frankly Trudeau being a burnt in Parliament for every failure of Canada by Pierre Poilievre (the ultimate reversal from Labour in the UK burning the Tories in parliament.)
