Sunak v Truss Round 1

[WBA123]

To be honest 123, I don't know who to believe about what any more. What I do believe is that many of us who have been on different sides of the divide want the same thing, a leader and party with integrity, the ability to do their various jobs and to give the electorate pride in those that govern us. At this moment in time, I don't feel that any of the present parties have these qualities and few of the individuals. A sad indictment of the state of our politics.

Our whole political system needs revolution.

Starting with the voting FPTP system. We cannot be in a position ever again where our choice as PM is Boris Johnson or Corbyn. We need more choice than the current 2 party system we have.

Our media needs to be reigned in and impartially regulated. We need a free press, but not one that has so much political influence.

We need to reform the House of Lords, in particular how they are nominated/appointed.

And we need rules in place for our MPs that are not just convention, but written down and clearly defined. So people can't abuse the system, which has been happening now for decades.

Proportional Representation doesn’t work, in many countries it takes months to form a government.

It’s a typically “Liberal” concept that appeals to people who can’t or won’t make decisions.

For good or for bad I’d rather have a Labour majority than a mush mash in which some hideous creation like Sturgeon or that wet Ed Davey are holding the whip hand.
