Sacked. Sacked by your own party as a criminal after 1 too many scandals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Mordor is leading the tory party membership polling. Expect Sunhak's team to try make sure she doesn't get second place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted July 13, 2022 Moderator Share Posted July 13, 2022 I don't get it Do they really think your average voter will care about the subtle difference between "This Government" and "The Prime Minister" Most people will still see a Government removing their own PM, and replacing it with AN Other and then having confidence in the Government lead by the former leader Most people will view this after the refusal of Labour's motion to be "playing politics" and also see the Govt having confidence in what they don't have confidence in Oh and the Johnson cheerleaders will just says, if you have confidence in the Government why are you getting rid of Johnson risking losing its most ardent support to other parties or abstention Labour by the very act of proposing the original motion and having it refused got their point across already Do they understand that when you are in the shit you don't dig deeper?

Well that is an interesting point. Do we see our government as cabinet led with the PM as first among equals (hah lol) or are we now basically a presidential system in which the PM has carte blanche to do mostly whatever they please? If we think its presidential then I would argue that it is not democratic in changing a Prime Minister on a a 3 year rota without calling a General Election.

Wainy316 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I'll predict Hunt to be cut at 5 o'clock and maybe Kemi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 So Hunt in 3 years on the backbenchers has managed to make himself even less popular than when he first stood. The hard right owns the party now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Pretty open field which suggests none of them have a real power base and as soon as the become PM the Tory party will eat itself again. It could get very tactical at the end with Sunak supporters voting for Truss to not get Mordant in the run off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From that I assume she has been “talking straight” and said something brexity/transphobic/“anti woke” to instantly decide in her favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
