The I cant believe it’s not politics thread.

[Vacamion]

 

So... the Gazillionaire with the green card or Bad Penny.

 

I think I'll have a general election, then, please.

Strange thing to get a stuffy on stan. Dont tell your missus on the problem though. Squeeze the cheeks. Unclench, clench and repeat. See if it helps lol.

 

What scenes though over there? General election should be called.

 

Can charles deny a new pm and declare he is ruler until new pm is elected? Ok, i know that's not possible...

He was sensible and always was the correct choice. 
 

The wider membership can’t be trusted. It’s put Boris and Truss in as leaders. Bonkers.

I'm going to ignore the first bit as it's totally deluded. 

 

The truth is, Jon, if you really wanted the UK to succeed then rather than die on your little partisan hill, you wouldn't - much like the rest of us - have any faith in the current crop of Conservatives. I know you live in Australia, but have you actually been watching what's happening here over the last six months? Your take suggests you haven't. 

I dont have any faith in them.  I’ve been quite clear the leadership are completely incompetent.  It’s depressing.

[st albans fox]

She lasted 45 days and twelve days of that was suspended due to the queens death - it’s really barely more than a month !

The  Tories remain in power

It’s difficult for any party to stick to a manifesto, when the world is constantly changing at a ferocious pace. 
 

However, what the country needs is stability. 
 

Liz Truss was about as far away from that as possible. She’s left it in more of a mess in 6 weeks, than she inherited it.

 

They’ll lose the next general election either way. It’s more a case of who opposes labour. 
 

The Greens or Lib Dem’s could make great strides, if they can get themselves the correct exposure. 

I’d like to see the lib dems make a comeback.

[Foxdiamond]

Under normal circumstances you could accept the Tories alone choosing the next PM. Not now though with the third PM within months with the state of the governing party for all to see. We need a GE

[Fear Of The Fox]

I don't care about policies, internal procedures etc. I care about direct Democracy. GE now. How on earth the British public remains silent watching this circus unfold? The country is not a football club and can't be run like one.

It’s realistic.  Being exposed to Putins  whims on gas supply is much worse.

...worse than at best some hundred million people rendered homeless, thirsty and hungry with all the death and suffering that entails, and at worst....something an order of magnitude, several orders of magnitude, worse?

 

I don't think so.

 

The UK would feel the effect of that indirectly, if not directly.

[Jon the Hat]

To be clear a general election would be the morally right outcome.  It’s not likely though given our present system which would mean half of MPs voting for redundancy.

Its shambolic. 
 

However just thinking about it, would we expect the large swing voters to vote labour, or do they vote elsewhere? 

[StriderHiryu]

GENERAL ELECTION - NOW!

 

The state of this country... all because of this government. 12 years of absolute crap. 

[urban.spaceman]

Liz Truss is the first British Prime Minister to not have an episode of Doctor Who broadcast during her tenure since the show began.

The largest swing would go to Labour but now Brexit isn't an issue the Conservatives would hemorrhage votes to the right wing parties again.

 

There is the potential for a complete collapse of the Conservative Party.

[Bellend Sebastian]

I'm somewhere with next to no internet, so just popped in to say....

 

I can't believe this is politics

[Sampson]

Really don’t blame the Queen deciding to keel over the day after swearing her in.

My wife has just said this. It could lead to a split and we’ll end up with New Tory and Traditional Tory. With a divide, they’re screwed.

Just waiting for that odious willy puller Farage to announce his new party to take all of the brown people hating Tory votes.

Bit like when SDP split from Labour

[Sly]

Graham Brady….

Conclude a new Leader by the 28th October. 
 

Further clarity later. 
 

Expect Two candidates

[Sly]

Surely they’re not going to put Boris back in place? FFS. 

[SecretPro]

If Boris gets put back in then I am no longer responsible for my actions.
