With respect, I disagree, but I don't think the forum wants us discussing German politics on top of all the other pain it will have to endure this evening, so I'll leave it there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I will say is that even Germany is worried about keeping the lights on this winter - partially because of Merkel's policies - which makes our totally unserious and vacuous politicians even more infuriating. Clown country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bovril Posted 20 October 2022 Share Posted 20 October 2022 Totally unserious politicians making speeches for social media likes and an electorate that is either clueless, old and selfish, or young and apathetic. We're ****ed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most of the UK would like politics here to revert to being quite boring again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'll get shot down here but if there's no GE for the next 2 years and we must continue with a conservative government, I'd rather have Teresa May back than any of the other idiots tbh. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also can't see anything except a postal ballott working and that won't be sorted by the end of the month. This. They won't let it go to the membership this time.

They’re an interesting perspective on The Rest Is Politics, where they talk about imposter syndrome and that Merkel had it…and that Truss clearly didn’t. All about how it plays in to how you listen to others and take on board opinions…something Truss was completely incapable of. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It cannot be understated just how despised he is amongst the Tory MPs. He wins and you'll have resignations forcing by elections and others walking across to the Labour benches. Edited 20 October 2022 by Brizzle Fox Of course he won't win for the exact reasons given above 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of me wants another complete disaster like the last two to get the job to ensure a Labour win - but the parent in me wants someone like May to instil common sense and moderation for the sake of my kids. I’m conflicted. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
