The Conservative Party

[Bodicoteblue]

The scary result.
Sunak and Blojo make it to the final two.
The mp's vote splits roughly:
Sunk 200
Blojo 100
The members vote for Blojo.
Then you will see the mother of all fcukin meltdowns of the Tory party.
Oh and the UK economy will tank.

There really isn’t a good ending to this, is there?

Anymore than it already has?

As far as public finances or economy go, perhaps an economist can enlighten me a bit on the below:

- To control inflation, Bank of England raises interest rates > that subsequently increases mortgage payments and cost of financing > that reduces consumer's/business's residual income > less consumer spending reduces GDP > Continous reduced GDP results in recession

- Bank of England does not increase interest rates > resulting in higher residual income > higher spending and high inflation and more people fall into poverty brack as wages do not rise in line with inflation, causing the strikes (as they are)

- Bank of England base rate aside, commodites like gas, electricity and fuel prices rising due to Russia/Ukraine ware so inflation will increase no matter what as energy is directly impacting production and transport.

- Ukraine unable to produce/export Grain in line with prior years also causing food prices to go up everywhere in the world (less supply than previous years across the world)

- Add in brexit, rise of extreme politics etc

With everything being so interlinked, how would anyone control this spiral of everything going wrong at the same time? What is a genuine way out?

I have thought of Labour's plan of windfall taxes but that's a short term solution and in the medium term it'll drive business away from UK Shores.


I have also thought if Russia/Ukrain war somehow comes to an end, would that sort some of these problems out? I think not as Europe will not go back to Russia for energy and it wont become self sufficient for many years to come.

Going back to other energy alternatives like coal will affect the climate change and Net Zero commitments.

Would appreciate anyone with economic hat on to suggest viable solutions on a macro level?

That would be the quickest way to a GE however the collateral damage in the intervening months would be far too high. Has to be Sunak. He’s shit but he will not tank the economy before the next election.

**** isn’t standing.

**** isn’t standing.

He doesn’t have the support.

'Just to clarify, have you just compared the former chancellor to a member of Al Qaeda?'

A particular highlight there............. :-)

This was from a tory party member

The lesser of 2 evils that is the best I can say

 

[west didsblue]

Says he had 102 MPs.
If he did he wouldn’t have dropped out.
He’s a fucking liar.

We knew that.

Seen his arse, as have the twats who wanted him back.

posted this on his thread, but apt here too.

Like I said he clearly does not have the numbers. I reckon the 1922 comittee did some back of fag packet calculations and knew this to stop Johnson getting on.

He had 60 and was never going to make much more.

 

[WestGorton]

I am Labour but it's a relief for the country. Irrespective of my views Sunak was the obvious choice.

 

[mat]

Sunak coronated tomorrow afternoon then...

 

[inbetween]

Sunak it is then it seems, he's been extremely clever in all of this.

Truss got in and he went underground but he didn't fold like the opportunists to try and get a cabinet job and now they've all torn themselves apart.

I think a big change is coming now. We'll hopefully finally see the back of these dickheads like Jacob Reese-Mogg, time to put them back in their box.

 

[BobKowalski]

Johnson‘s statement pitching himself as the ideal candidate thwarted by the unwillingness of Sunak et al to recognise his greatness, will deepen the Tory divide, especially if they continue to lag in the polls.

Totally self-serving to the end.

 

[BobKowalski]

I rarely like tweets, but this I liked.

‘Still, good news for the 60-odd MPs who actually did crawl up his hole and have now been farted out by him, blinking and confused into tomorrow's daylight, wondering if they can ever wash the stink off themselves. Well, no, you can't. You've tattooed a cock onto your foreheads.’ @nickpettigrew

 

[Norbert D]

Makes you wonder if the sixty or so Johnson cultists will try and get Penny Moribund over the 100 mark then leave it to the Russians and bigots to get her elected? Sunak seems a posh boy tosser but be good to see him flush out that smug wanker ReesTwat and the other Johnson hole lickers. Then sit back and open the popcorn, election next spring I would say.

 

[Norbert D]

So back to work tomorrow which for Johnson means another expensive holiday paid for by one of his accomplices

It’s never his fault….

Reminder. There are no good outcomes.
