oldypigeonpopper Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) Hello, I hope not !!!, Tory Politics in this country is at an all time low, and they only have themselves to blame, I am sure most in UK are just so fed up with politics in general , we need a party that puts the country first , has there ever been one since I could vote in 1967, Edited October 21, 2022 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokingdragon Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 It shows the state of the Conservative party if he's considered as a candidate - shown to be an unfit leader once and now he's considered to be the best of a bunch of self centered clowns. This only shows the priority of this government to put themselves first and sod the rest of the country. I'm fuming with the whole circus - reports say that one health board could have saved 40 babies by doing a proper job, hungry cold kids in school and htey are more concerned with their own standing!!

smokingdragon Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 One of my colleagues in Romania asked me what was going on in the UK, because he said that is was pretty normal in his country for chaos, corruption etc in the government, but he said he thought 'civilised' countries like the UK didn't have those scandals!! I laughed - sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, he won in London (twice) and most recently won a 90-odd seat majority in the Commons. All the BS around Covid events in No. 10 was a media-generated storm in a teacup and I believe the majority of voters will see it as such.

Gordon R Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 How could the MPs who stabbed him in the back work for him again? Whatever his strengths and weaknesses, he was sent packing. The fact that he might be the best on offer is a truly sad situation for the Tories and even Labour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, she clearly has a lot of say in things, and shouldn't have any. 32 minutes ago, Flashman said: Not really, he won in London (twice) and most recently won a 90-odd seat majority in the Commons.

It was a clear witch hunt, probably linked to brexit. 1 hour ago, TIGHTCHOKE said: Then who else is there? 1. Rishi Sunak 2. Penny Mordant 3. Ben Wallace 4. Suella Braverman 5. Kemi Badenoch 6.

Scully Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 Personally, out of all those who’ve thrown in their caps, none are exciting. I think the only one I would back is either Penny Mordant or Suella Braverman. The thing with Boris was he excited people; he is unpredictable, he rocks boats, he is entertaining, aggressive and passionate, and I for one genuinely felt we were going to get somewhere, then the pandemic happened. He is also the last thing the Labour Party want. I may have to change my avatar! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldypigeonpopper Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) Hello, how can anyone take Boris seriously when you lie to the country , while the parties were going on in Number 10 the whole country was in lockdown, people could not visit loved ones in hospital or care homes, family members died with no family there, the NHS struggled to cope, NHS staff died of COVID, I cannot see a credible Tory MP that would put the country top of the agenda rather than looking after the top earners and companies who make billions profit from the vast majority of hard working people on low incomes, but I have said before with Corbyn and his gang had they got in number 10 I dread to think what our country would be like today, 🤔 Edited October 21, 2022 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris is not perfect (and in that respect neither was Churchill) but as noted above they are leaders capable of leadership, Sunak, Hunt on Tories, Steamer in Labour etc are all hangers on and grey men much like Major. If you want a political change, introduce full PR, that will allow people to have a genuine choice and know their vote counts, unlike the vote blue or vote red to keep the others out of first past the post.

islandgun Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 Having watched all the episodes of Borgen the excellent Danish political drama. I now consider myself an expert on PR, the whole series was about the party in charge having to appease all the other parties to stay in power, a mess of double dealing and back stabbing..😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
