  • It is very much true

    From the link you provided:

    This may come as a surprise to some: it is only after two years of continued service that employees have the right to request written reasons for their dismissal.

    Employers don’t need to provide a reason for your dismissal.

    There are some exceptions but they’re very specific and unlikely to relevant. If an employer wants rid of you they can do so at their whim.

    Even if you think you have a case, good luck finding a solicitor who will take on your case. They simply won’t be interested because it’s not easy to win without the rights you get after 2 years employment.









  • I completely agree, you’ve summed up my view far better than I could.

    There’s also a controversial approach that if you’re debating with someone and you believe in the points you’re making then you should upvote even the comments you disagree.

    By doing so the full thread of comments is ranked higher so more people see the incredibly clever points you’re articulating.

    This isn’t so relevant on Lemmy right now because it’s still small so you might read all comments on ba post. But it made a massive difference on reddit where there were thousands of comments. So the algorithm becomes very selective.


  • That coalition would need a majority.

    Apologies for not being specific. I was responding to the statement about even Reform not having enough votes for a majority. As you’ve pointed out what I meant to say was that:

    No single party would need a majority. Instead they could form a majority in collaboration with other parties to form a coalition solely to enact electoral reform.

    At present the Reform party are splitting the conservative vote, in fact I think they were polling above them recently. Reform claim to be in favour of Proportional Representation. If that’s true then there’s a legit possibility that a coalition could be formed between parties across the political spectrum to finally ditch FPTP.
