The Conservative Party

Ultimatley the public get what they deserve, conservative politics serve absolutely no purpose in this day and age where we should be looking to progress forward in hundreds of areas.

Instead, you vote in a load of catch phrase shouting twats and people are shocked at stuff like this? I couldn't give two fucks, the nail in the coffin was the election years back and voting Johnson in instead of Corbyn.

Yeah, I kind of feel the same way. You vote for shit, you get shit. I mean, what else where people expecting?

That said, most people didn’t vote for shit, so I end up having to give a fuck :)

To a certain extent that works but like Trump and far right populist the hardcore cult following isn't that big. At some point the moderates who lent you there fault start seeing the mask slip and it all starts to unravel. You can only gas light so many people into believing the lies and corruption are nothing, Right now its a constant newsfeed of Johnsons fuck ups and lies which he can no longer hide,
When the Daily Fail turns its guns on you like it did again today with Christmaspartygate the clock is ticking down on Johnson. Its now a matter of not if but when he's pushed or jumps shop. I am no political guru but you can see that the Tories will not let toxic Johnson run an election.

You put far too much faith in an incresingly populace electorate to actually do whats best for themselves.

Of all their cock ups this has shocked me the most. Johnson is a dead man walking imo.

The odd thing with this one is how it got out and then thinking who stands to benefit from it. There’s so many links between some of the individuals involved and key people in the press, a lot of roads leading to Sunak…

More in the faith the basic but important fact of UK politics is popularity and people liked Bojo the clown and his bungling act routine. When they see the one rule for them and it starts to hurt people in the pockets Bojo the clown isn't so funny anymore,

Trump lost the election by about 20,000 votes, after 4 years of blatant corruption, lies, abhorrent behaviour and literal crimes with half his staff having been arrested and indicted.

You don't need a hardcore cult following, 70,000,000 Americans vote for anyone with an (R) next to their name, no matter who that person is.

And as this country slides more and more towards American politics, there are tens of millions of people who will vote Conservative no matter who, just because they're not Labour.

And they will do that no matter how many times this government treats them like shit. This latest scandal won't do anything, the next poll will show conservatives up even more than 2 weeks ago.
 
Yes this *should* be the end of this lot. But it won't be. That's not how populism works.

Look at Trump - the guy literally staged a coup and an attack on the heart of the nation's democracy in which people died and he's still talking about running again in 2024.

Johnson could kick an old granny in the head and he'd still get away with it.

Agreed about our slide into American style politics. But I don't think the UK will accept it, we don't have the equivalent of Fox or Briebart, there isn't the split in media coverage like the USA. Pretty much everyone is condemning them /him.

Which reminds me, let's see what gb news or whatever they were called are saying about it.

There are millions of people who take no interest in politics because they see the subject as "boring". However they have a vote and when they see a party led by an interesting character they vote accordingly. The Monster Raving Loony Party doesn't get their votes as the party name is a giveaway. But the Tories, led by a monster raving loony, benefits from having a collection of clowns in the cabinet.
