Rawanda (Sunny this time of year) Ukraine Refugees (We must have reached a quota) Brexit (half a job, fishing NI, education swaps, research alignment, border control) Cost of living (does not affect them) Housing Policy (they all have houses) Energy Policy (next big crisis if it's not one already) Covid (forgot about it) Whatever party is in power, whoever is the leader lets at least have a policy or stratgey for something.

Which is precisely why I think it was just a waste of time. What was the point if there was no intention of launching a leadership challenge? I just didn’t see the point. Media are of course making large of ‘four out of ten’ voted against him, but no mention of ‘six out of ten’ voted for him. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agriv8 Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 Big rumours that the vote of no confidence was run now because he had a chance to win Party gate far from over if he did miss lead parliament! The fact labour have failed to make any real headway just proves how useless they are ! last local elections here ( I know these are not the same ) a green candidate was voted in because she campaigns on local issues and pressed the flesh. Overturning a Conservative majority for as long as I can remember! The uk had the largest debt since the world war after covid and now heading into cost of living and fuel crisis! The long term financial analysts I have heard speak paint a very scary future. The traditional older conservative voter will abstain go red if they can’t afford to eat or heat ! my take is bully boy Boris has built his tower and thinks he’s bigger than the party that put him there. I will not vote conservative because of the views of his wife. I believe that the voting public will decide that a change is need leading to a labour win. ever if they elect a Boris replacement who’ll they have time to turn the ship ?

Forget the individuals where is the policy? The only thing we hear from either party is they are not as bad as the others but neither have any policy. 7 hours ago, Agriv8 said: ever if they elect a Boris replacement who’ll they have time to turn the ship ? Agriv8 The ship is going nowhere it's not a case of turning but to give it some direction. Tax cuts to heal the party now ????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick miller Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 Well, you can change the shade of lipstick on the pig of UK Government, you can even change its colour, but its still a total pig. The whole edifice from the electoral, first part the post system, to the bought and paid for MPs taking there paychecks from all angles needs massive reform. I'm not holding my breath. On the subject of who voted for and who voted against, you can never tell what their reasons for either choice were but it would certainly make life easier for us plebs if they took a leaf out of formula 1's book and ditched the suits and dresses for a jump suit, complete with the patches of their private sponsors.

Gordon R Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 Quote Forget the individuals where is the policy? That is fair comment. Tories seem a bit of a mixed bag on policy. Talk big, but don't always follow through. Labour - sorry, I haven't a clue what policies, if any, that they have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need policies when in opposition - and if pressed can claim (in fact with some slight justification) that you don't have access to the data/figures/civil service advice to formulate policy in any detail.
