Off Topic The Politics Thread

They all look the same to some

 

She could hardly deny this. Communications were terrible. Drop the hubris and face and explain to the electorate regularly.

 

So it appears Johnson surrounded himself with a slightly better quality of corrupt idiots than Truss has managed.

 

A bite from one side of the lemon will be no less sour than a bite on the other side of the lemon Will.
Politics in general is sour now across almost all sides.

I’m fed up with non-answers and diversionary responses to reasonable questions. We can all respect difficult choices and honest direction but as long as policies widen the gap between the needy and the rich the more difficult/impossible it becomes to make decisions that improve life for all people, families and businesses in our country.

 

I hope she is prosecuted, any normal driver would be...

 

For all his faults, laziness, corruption and noncery, Johnson at least had a bit of charisma. Now it’s like we’ve got a plank of wood in charge with an AS Level in Economics.

 

That’s a bit like saying a shooter only meant to hit his target in the arm but hit them in the head instead BR!

 

She’ll shoot the least well off in the head in return for lower taxes for the wealthy and some fairytale dream of economic growth.

 

Bloody interns

 

Odd question. She is PM, for better or worse. She doesn't need a vote on what she proposes

 

Just the approval of 80,000 pensioners will do.

 

Not an entirely odd question. At general election times...parties put out manifestos which we the public (should ) vote on...(obviously a lot of people just vote for the same party all the time)

Add into that Truss (and her views) only had support of 50 MPs during the Con Party voting in the next PM round of voting.

She has actually got very little visible support for these...or any other of her policies... and I mean good policies or bad ones

 

No different from Gordon Brown's coronation surely?

 

I guess the big difference is that Gordon Brown didn’t intentionally set the country on fire in his first three weeks in the role.

 

No...or Boris's first arrival either.

It is a bad flaw in our electorial system, which is highlighted when the new incumbent takes us in a different direction to their predecessor

 

I see that JRM got a warm reception in Brum.

 

what happened

I see Gove says he will vote against Trusses policies...when do they get to vote???
