OT. The futures Bright, the Futures Brexit!!!

I loved Noggin the Nog, but had a sneaky preference for Nogbad the Bad.

Quelle surprise...who’d have thought?

Just suppose (Mk2) there were to be a new Party born...leaving three altogether...and the Parties were typified by their leaders so...
Party 1 led by Rees-Mogg, Johnson and Gove
Party 2 led by Cable, Soubry and Starmer
Party 3 led by Corbyn, McDonald and Abbott
...who would be most likely to attract your vote and who would win?

Seeing as I’m asking others, I would unashamedly vote for Party 2, not sure if they’d break the British two party mould but they’d certainly possess more common sense imo.

Party 1 Rees-Mogg, swap Gove for Farage

Oh dear...so it’s a sort of new Nazi party you’re after?
Anyway you have to be an MP to lead a Party...remind me...how many times has NF screwed that up? SSSSSSSeven as I recall.
Hope you’re just being a wum again MoP and don’t really mean it.

Preference? One and a half. Three would be a disaster.
Prediction? Three

2 is the party of middle-ground politics, I think folk have had enough of that for now and want a punch-up

Has there been much ‘middle-ground’ politics since 2014, Andy? I must have missed it.
Think any ‘punch up’ is more likely to be within the Parties rather than between them. Much like here...oh for a bit of not so ‘common sense’ and leadership.

Yes it’s eroded over the past five years or so. I disagree about the punch up though, there is some real nastiness, driven partly by social media, between capitalist and socialist, left and right, patriot and globalist, PC and non-PC etc

Which is why my preference is for centrist, one nation politicians. I don’t want to be ruled by the bigots currently jostling for control of the Tory party or the idealists who represent ‘old’ Labour so, in the absence of MA getting his political act together, the names I mentioned for Party 2 do seem to offer some sort of decency.

I think we WANT the same thing but IMO we’ve got in a right bleeding mess being too polite/scared to ‘have a say’ as individuals and collectives and if it takes extremists like Mogg and Corbyn to stimulate the discussion I’ll take that as the route forward for a few years
