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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wider membership can’t be trusted. It’s put Boris and Truss in as leaders. Bonkers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon the Hat Posted 20 October 2022 Share Posted 20 October 2022 Just now, RoboFox said: 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon the Hat Posted 20 October 2022 Share Posted 20 October 2022 2 minutes ago, Sly said: 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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxdiamond Posted 20 October 2022 Share Posted 20 October 2022 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fear Of The Fox Posted 20 October 2022 Share Posted 20 October 2022 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicsmac Posted 20 October 2022 Share Posted 20 October 2022 2 minutes ago, Jon the Hat said: 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon the Hat Posted 20 October 2022 Share Posted 20 October 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
