"I am today announcing that I will resign as Conservative leader on Friday 7 June. "I have agreed with the party chairman that the process for electing a new leader will begin in the following week."

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I made the mistake of flicking it onto Andrew Neil's show late last night and they were discussing the next Tory leader and they were saying Boris is the only one wth the charisma to rival Corbyn and Farage This is what it has boiled down to, how popular someone is. Forget about their integrity, intelligence, morals, policies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 17626 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 The next PM will be chosen by 0.2% of the population, statistically of whom most will be dead in 15 years. The president is hereditary and the second chamber is unelected. Brexiteers like to wail about how undemocratic the EU is (whilst ironically voting on mass yesterday for their MEP), when in actual fact it is more democratic than our own system. Like everything else, maybe we should have tried to fix our own problems before worrying so much about supranational cooperation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13811 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 The BBC love Farage mind. The coverage he receives is majorly disproportionate. Fascist bastards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 14527 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Watched these this morning... Conclusion: we’re all in a lot of trouble Possibly if we don’t leave the EU at the end of October we’ll get this lots’ version of democracy. Ordinary people love Farage, he’s far from stupid and is a natural charismatic salesman who tells people precisely what they want to hear. Bannon has banded all these types of characters together all over Europe and all we need to do is look at who sits in power in his homeland to see where all this may end up and how it happened. Looks to me European post war centralism/social democracy/small “c” Conservatism is on its deathbed. Things are changing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 17626 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 One of Johnson's biographers, who knew him really well, was on R5 drivetime yesterday. She sttated that at heart he was actually a europhile who is very supportive of the EU and our position in it. As we know his position in 2016 was pure political opportunism that backfired. I maintain he won't be the one at the wheel if Brexit happens. But in response to PL, I was out with an Asian mate tonight who said he felt now like that the zeitgeist in this country has fundamentally changed since 2016, and he no longer feels safe in Newcastle like he did say a decade ago. He said he doesn't know if it is just paranoia, but things don't feel right. I dont think he's imagining it personally, we're witnessing the logical conclusion of popularism. When a third of the country vote fir Farage, that country has genuine problems. I really hope I'm wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30241 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 (edited) That’s horrible to hear but completely unsurprising at the same time. And Newcastle is probably relatively tolerant Edited May 26, 2019 by Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
