O/T:- ⚠️Impressed with the leadership [The UK Party Politics Thread]

If it was a straight choice between Labour and Conservative (which it probably would be) then I would reluctantly vote Conservative.

The same question to you and anyone but Boris is not a worthwhile answer.

I certainly could not bring myself to vote for the Tories however, I don’t think I could vote for Labour either. Looks like I would have to abstain or do a protest vote. (Protests seem quite popular on this forum at the moment)

Poor reply Elite.

You asked a question, I gave an honest and open answer. Not my problem if you don't like it.

Which party other than Labour or Conservative do you think (as a betting man) are likely to form a government at the next election?

None of them, and that's the problem. In my time as a voter, realistically it's always been one or the other. Probably for the first time in my life I want to look elsewhere. I'm not saying there are better options out there, but if there were they would find it bloody hard to be elected because so many are entrenched in the two party option. I think that was proved at the last election.

A nothing answer from you, a hypothetical question then who would you chose to vote for if there wasn’t a Tory candidate.

Partly explained above. If there was an election soon, I would base my vote on gut feeling rather than any manifesto promises. If there wasn't a Tory candidate, I would have to see what the alternatives were.

Thanks for your answers or lack of them.
End of discussion.

No need for an end, I've given an honest answer to all of your questions.

If you're struggling to understand any, I'm happy to try and make it clearer.

Have to say that I find it ironic that after BJ criticising Starmer for politicising Covid, he will now be dependent on Labour getting through his Covid plans next week.

Watching HIGNFY last night showed just how low we as a country have fallen.

The government have tied themselves up in knots with lies.

Johnson is done.

You would hope so, but somehow he was elected as a proven serial liar so who knows?

If he survives all this, we might as well make him Prime Minister for life and just bend over and let him shaft us any way he chooses.

I always hoped that as a nation we were better than that.

Boris tonight

"It is now clear that two doses of the vaccine are simply not enough to give the level of protection we all need"

Then:

"vaccine passports for nightclubs and large events, with double-vaccinated exempt from requirement to test"


Do not question the science

Can't really see a problem.

Not the level of protection we all need is not saying that two doses give no protection, just that we need more.

Quite concerning that there are now people in hospital with omicron.
