His back benchers were selected because they were starmerites, it's the constituents that are the problem. Seeing off re form has to be a practical priority for the government. I'm surprised he doesn't go in much harder against Nige, like the MAGA's do to the dems.

Contracts and treaties are both legally binding agreements between parties, but they serve different purposes. Contracts are typically used in business transactions or personal agreements, outlining the terms and conditions of a specific exchange of goods or services.

While contracts are more focused on individual relationships and obligations, treaties have broader implications and can impact the relationships between nations on a larger scale.
