The Conservative Party

[aguero93:20]

No, sadly. The Conservative Party are all about self-preservation rather than the greater national good, and turkeys don’t vote for Christmas. We’re stuck with these clowns until 24/25 unfortunately.

You get what you vote for Ric.

Hunt has spent Friday, Saturday, and Sunday telling the world that he was just in the job, didn’t have all the data, and so couldn’t say what would happen and we’d have to wait, but, lo and behold, because the markets could react badly, he is to make changes today and then explain them to Parliament. But, of course, he wishes to be honest…

Obviously it'd be suicidal to call one.

The only way to force one is to bring a vote of no confidence which means 72 conservatives would have to vote with Labour & everyone else.

So I guess a lot will depend on who the next leader is and how divisive they are within the party.

If they pick Braverman or Patel? I can see it. If they pick Wallace they'll probably just go into damage limitation mode and try to survive 2 years without controversy.

72 to abstain, 36 to vote with the opposition.

Braverman or Patel only if the members got a say which won't happen.They can't find a unity candidate as they are not united, and it's hard to say how much disunity would be involved in choosing between Hunt, Wallace and Mordaunt. I suspect Sunak is the only obvious choice as he was MPs' choice before.

I asked a couple of my mates how they voted on Brexit and they said out. I asked why and they said “just fancied a change” I asked “a change from what?” Answer “don’t know”

Well they certainly got what they voted for!

A general election isn’t the answer to the problem. The electoral system itself is the problem.

One of the problems but certainly a highly significant one. Alas, a Labour landslide would only lead them to forget the last dozen years and convince them that the system works (for them) after all.

Yes,you can see this happening.
And round and round it'll go,a carousel of regret.

I so hope you’re wrong, mate.

Think they better had appoint Sunak as he appears to be capable of torpedoing anyone else who becomes prime minister.
