The Conservative Party

The whole governance thing needs a radical shake up

Its going to get one soon. Its called a General Election when you can do some research, read the literature and learn the facts to enable you to make an informed choice and go out to change things or indeed keep the status quo if thats what you are happy with.

Sadly half the voting population will do none of that - they will just sit of forums like this posting about them being two cheeks off the same arse or dangerous psychopaths or that Starmer isn't left enough or is Tory Lite and then after the elections repost the same whines they have done for the last few years.

Wasn't thinking about the GE, more the accountability, 2nd jobs, no competition for tenders, association with companies awarded contacts etc

Apologies in advance.
Not putting this here to be controversial, but just came across it when perusing Sinead O’Connor material last night. (In the name of the father)

This is pretty powerful stuff from Gerry Conlon and if you can get to the end of it is pretty spot on regarding where you are with politicians and government in Britain today.

Yep.

If it was me, I’d ban voting for everyone except half a dozen posters on here who it is clear are the only ones capable of holding the responsibility of installing the next and future governments.

Thanks,
But you’re on yer own there.

Very good idea.
Policies could be determined by a show of hands.

I had the privilege of meeting that man when Bob Crow invited him to join us during a TUC conference.

Very clever man and one hell of drinker.

They don’t give a fuck about you, nobody is really talking about how they’ve allowed profits.

NB. This is the second time that I’ve realised that the majority of the UK population (reading various stuff) don’t really use their political view. The first time was the Brexit vote.

Couldn't you just apply for a postal vote and get someone of sound judgement and who isn't as easily swayed to vote on your behalf?

:)

I’m never voting again unless you or someone else on here comes and holds my hand.

Anybody notice that business is making huge record profit while we, the people, get poorer by the hour?

Twas ever thus.

That’s the system, that’s the game.

Of course, it’s just now that it has become excessively so.

Has it or is it a case of 24hr rolling news ramming the numbers down our throats as breaking news in a yellow ticker?

I went years without having a fucking clue what the gas, electric or banks had made but not anymore.

Exactly, it's a strange argument that many make on here.

Look at this Tory recession but also look at these companies making record profits!! Hmm...

Some of that, yes, but there is a lot of ‘Record profits’ being reported, and it’s easy to see why.

I find it laughable that Farage's rimmers were going around saying Rose and Flavell were rubbish and had to go and Howard Davies needs to leave too. Meanwhile the Natwest Group announces profits up from £2bn to £3.5bn under their stewardship. Most firms would love that level of failure lol

At least some self awareness.
