It will take some doing to restore any sort of respect in them, the longer they hang on. I totally understand your point. All I would say is that what goes on in the corridors in Westminster is anyone's guess. Johnson comes across as someone who can't be trusted and shouldn't be in the job. He is though, and it's an immensely powerful job. There's no telling what he'd do to the career of a back bench MP. When faced with taking on the PM and his cronies or waiting a couple of weeks to see if he does the decent thing on his own, most will opt to give it some time. I'm sure they won't wait forever though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will put their own careers before everything and deserve to be nowhere near government though. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, carry on voting for this and it will only get worse, more extreme, and less accountable to any democratic processes, in my opinion. Heard an excellent point today on a non political podcast of how intriguing the Tories are. No greater example in how they successfully used Thatcher’s upbringing and her ascent into working hard, making money as a celebration of being a Conservative Yet there’s been a succession of Eton educated leaders now who celebrate Thatcher as why they became Tory but don’t share her same ethic as cold as it could be (in my opinion) Edited 30 January 2022 by Cardiff_Fox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience, there's no part of society that has greater contempt for women than privately educated men. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
