The Conservative Party

[MillionMilesAway]

So 100 backers needed, 2 or 3 max then. Sunak and Mordaunt nailed on? With the only other possible Bojo?

Meaning that the Braverman/Badenoch mob would have sided with Johnson?
That's an interesting mix, even allowing for Johnson's general amorality.

Can’t see the party really uniting behind any candidate, so whoever they choose they’re still fucked imo. They’re going to get trounced at the next election regardless, just wish the country didn’t have to endure two more years of pain before it happens.

They are not a Party though thats the point - they are the Old Traditional Tories - the ERG - the NRG - the Red Wall - The Blue Wall sorry but its the Peoples Front of Judea against the Popular Front if Judea territory. The idea that they can find Unity Candidate - you are so correct.

Has to be Boris for me it's the only choice really.

This whole sorry saga has highlighted a glaring error in politics that needs rectifying. When a government implodes like this then a general election has to be called. In all my years I've never seen a party so unfit to lead the country. Watching TV interviews of the general public though there are still some defending them and saying they'd still vote for them. It's a beyond belief.

They will find it incredibly hard to hold together for 2 years. Especially if Boris or some other loony gets in. The various camps literally despise each other.

I've been doing it a lot lately

You've been doing WHAT lately?

wow - I never had you down to be someone keen to put the final nail in the Tories coffin - welcome aboard here's a nail hammers are over there.......

 

[lazerblue]

surely the only option now should be a general election, these are unprecedented events and we must demand it!

 

[waspish]

What should happen is a GE but we now that ain’t going to happen!

rishi Sunak will be the next pm just because of what he was saying about the finances and calling out Liss truss..

They are an absolute basket case mate.

But therein lies the rub. Who decides what constitutes an implosion? And of what magnitude must it be before a GE need be called? There is still a chance, slim may it be, that enough Conservatives could get behind Sunak, Mordaunt, and Hunt in a kind of ‘emergency cabinet’.

I’ve had a hunch for a few weeks that the sheer scale of the country’s financial problems are even greater than has been admitted, and that when the figures are finally released at the end of this month, the shock from them will either sink the Conservative ship immediately, or be so frightening that it forces enough of them to coalesce around such a ‘team’ as outlined above. Just my hunch.

I don't know mate, I guess it depends on the number of "Loyalist's" he has left if he has a chance to get 100 backers.

Yeah, anybody's guess until at least Monday.

Keeps my thread going the tories are fucked anyhow:-)

History has repeated itself and I'm a bit concerned it will again when Labour get in. We certainly can't have a general.election anytime soon. We cannot afford a large majority for any party.

That's not the way the system works, the system that the majority in here have voted for over and over again. Most of voting age are getting exactly what they deserve.
