O/T Trussed in Leader gone

[howdydoo]

These elected puppets will do as they’re told.

Need a few to take on the super rich. Those that never pay any tax.

You must be joking Grist , the Tories are done for , absolutely done for .

There isn't anybody in UK political history who have come back from this , one poll today has the Tories on 11% .

They've neither the time nor the talent to pull this off and things are only going to get worse with the economy going forward .

They can't even agree with themselves and nobody votes for a divided party .

They've virtually handed the next election to Labour on a plate .

When it’s the choice between a bad Tory party and a highly risky Labour Party voters will hit the middle and throw wasted votes at the Lib Dems, Greens and other no hopers. Many won’t bother voting at all. Result being a hung parliament

It's not really a risky Labour Party Grist , Starmer is seen as credible , or credible enough , to be fair that's not exactly hard given the current Tories .

Labour are taking votes off the Tories .

They are way ahead of where they were in 1997 when they secured a 180 seat majority .

There's nothing the Tories can do other than slightly lose by less .

Once these things happen you can't change it , it's completely out of their hands because they've lost control of the economy and in doing so the trust of the electorate .

Another leadership contest just adds to the fact they've lost control .

They'd be well advised to call a GE pretty sharpish and get this done with because if they carry on with this thing for too much longer and with Farage threatening to stage a comeback they may be done for good .

I think the Lib Dems are the best out of the main three, they've only had 5 years as junior partners in a coalition, so they haven't really had a chance.

The other two have and been found wanting.

Probably pick up some good seats in what's regarded as safe Tory territory , other than that .......

I always thought the 2019 election said quite a bit about the Dems .

They campaigned on reversing Brexit in its entirety , that's 48% potential votes .

They got rinsed .

I'm not wild about them but they're not really responsible for this countries decline like the Tories and Labour.

Although Vince Cable privatising Royal Mail has not been a huge success.

The coalition with Cameron was a catastrophe for the Dems and they've never really recovered from that in my opinion .

Anybody wishing for PR is going to be disappointed in my opinion too .

We are stuck with what we have , vote for the least worst option is about as good as it gets .

With PR you do at least get a party who represents your views, because you get lots of parties, but very little gets done. We haven't got a lot done in recent years either though.

Just think if Jeremy Corbyn was Labour leader, & Labour won a election now.
He would have been sending aid to Russia, instead of the Ukraine.
Thank God they got shut of him has Labour leader.

I have a different theory and you won't agree either.
Inflation should peak at the end of the year and then ease early next year.
Bank of England won't increase interest rates as much as was predicted.
The pound will rise slightly and the Markets will quieten and stabalise.
The Tories will then unite rather than let Labour in. They will then brush this latest fiasco under the carpet as if it never happened.
My dad has a saying, "theres nowt so queer as folk".
All dependant on who is new Tory leader and what cuts Hunt is intending.
Get ready, can't wait till 31st October, or will they move it to November?
