Who should be the next leader of the Tory party?

[East Level 2]

I think it was Ben Elton who described John Major as "fuck all in a suit", but even JM would be a better bet than this shower.

As the song says you don't know what you got 'till its gone eh?

That was a daft question. Say yes and it looks like you're endorsing the ones you've just seen and heard. You'd have to put your hand up and shout, "yes but not this lot".

Whenever I suggest in my posts that the Politics Sub forum is left leaning I always get plenty quick to tell me that they are not left leaning.
There are 108 pages on this particular thread and having read each post at some stage I cannot find 1 post that has said anything positive about the Tories.
There has been one neutral post who has gone as far as to say Labour is just as bad.
I think we can agree that in 108 pages there are probably 50 different posters, yes ?
So that works out at 49 saying they are doing a very poor job and the 50th saying the two main Parties are as bad as each other, so he will either not vote or vote for one of the other parties.
So if it doesn't lean to the left, it must reflect reality and Public Opinion.
With such a massive majority 49/1, in my snap poll of the posters in this thread, the Tories will be lucky to hold on to their deposits never mind their seats, who ever they choose.
So you can all sit back, chill out, because come the next Election they are going to be obliterated.
Or have I got it wrong and if so, have you wondered why nobody ever comes on the Politics Sub forum to defend their record.

Because a lot of centrist tories got purged by the party and as a voter base they swallowed the not insignificant amount of people that used to vote for UKIP. Just look at the debate the other day and compare that to Cameron’s conservatives.

Would you class someone like Dominic Grieve as “left leaning”?

You have not really answered my question.
Do you think the politics sub forum fairly reflects public opinion

For a start it doesn’t relate to the general public because the vast majority of them don’t post endlessly or at all on political forums. Secondly you could be a conservative voter but still think this govt is very poor. Thirdly it is a left leaning politics forum which is to be expected.

There is usually a poll on here around election time and labour always wins comfortably. The people who post most on here are a very small percentage of the members of bluemoon and and a very insignificant number in society as a whole.

I think most people on here recognise Johnson as a lying venal fraud and by extension the current government. You don’t have to be left leaning to think that, just not fucking stupid.

Why should it?

The answer to your question is no btw:-)
