Kemi Badenoch - Elected Tory Leader

[Phil1]

Why have we not had any messages of support from our resident Conform posters?
Surely they are excited at the bright new dawn that this poisonous creature will bring?

All hail the new overlord.

Im pretty certain she won't be in that position in 5 years.

It will take them a couple.of years to realise they have made a mistake appointing her. Then she will be sacked and a moderate brought in.

Yes, I can easily see all the octogenarian cryptofascists learning the error of their ways in a couple of years…

 

[hilts]

Great result for Labour.
However after they got rid of Cleverly, it was win win for the government.

Shame that there won’t be credible opposition for the foreseeable future. It’s not good for democracy.

It would be a good point if we had a democracy. People can vote for the Lib Dems instead. The Tories being on their arse is never a bad thing.

 

[mosssideblue]

A loose cannon who would be an embarrassment on the international stage. Luckily,, she will never be PM

she was on Tory K this morning saying the budget is incoherent as the NHS will have to pay the increased employers NI - which they won't as they are exempt from all employers NI - of course there was no kick back from Tory K

Are you ok?

Very woke of you to check on how Kaz is doing

Unfortunately after the election of Badenoch as party leader on Saturday, the 1922 committee increased the minimum number of letters required to trigger a vote of no confidence, from 15% of the parliamentary party to a third.
That means 41 letters will now be required to trigger a vote, rather than 19.

It’ll be 19 again when their moderate MPs have defected to the Lib Dems and they only have 57 left.

She sees it as incoherent as she doesn’t understand it, much like the many Tories before her who seen it as a way for them and their ‘friends’ to make money.

Rules get changed to suit the desired outcome in all walks of society. We know this because of the ficticious charges City are facing.

 

[denislawsbackheel]

And they can’t have the moderates deciding they don’t want a fascist leading them now do they?

It does make sense to adapt when the numbers change so dramatically. They could have faced a VONC every other week otherwise.

Am i wrong ?

This really is not a good thing for the country. Getting on my centrist soap box for a second. We need an effective opposition in this country. One with salient counter-arguments to proposed government policy and one that can suggest their own policy ideas. Labour had many of their policies eventually adopted by the Tories while they were in opposition. Now they have an enormous majority and being held to account and challenged appropriately is important.

But instead we are consigned to 5 years of the opposition tub-thumping about irrelevant culture war nonsense and endless bleating about pronouns. Labour can do pretty much whatever they like on the economy knowing that the opposition can’t string a coherent argument together and has zero credibility. The arguments the Tories put out on the back of the budget were fucking woeful. There was so much they could have rightly contested for a budget that has numerous risks baked in but instead they chose to just make hyperbolic shit up, catastrophise, and develop more ridiculous soundbites. It seems like that’s all they can do these days.

I have no love for the Tories and I hope they are never in power again in my lifetime for what they have wrought, but I was really hoping they would see they have to completely change tack and try something new to attract younger voters again. But no, they seem determined to become completely irrelevant.

You are describing the other lot who with an 80 seat majority set about doing what they wanted with no thought of what damage they were doing because they were effectively unopposed.

We have to believe and hope a Labour Govt with a big majority will at least have some decency and a moral compass to not be a set of cunts

I believe Labour would have to be unfathomably bad to be worse than the Tories when it comes to things like integrity.

My point is that all a poor opposition does is narrow the discourse over policy, which is pretty much never a good thing.

Isn’t the real point a wanky electoral system that lets a party with about a third of the popular vote doing what the fuck it wants for five years?

Are they any men in grey suits left?

Only one a year is permitted.
