If either he, Badenoch or Braverman get elected will have a PM born in the 1980s. Mordaunt is the oldest remaining candidate at 49.

Gemmill 35571 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 This is really good too. Sunak is a big problem with voters by the sound of it. Even Conservative inclined voters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to rule Sunak out cos I don't think the party membership wil vote for him unless his competitor fucks up badly (possible, happened to Leadsome). I think Truss is easier for Labour than Mordaunt. But if Labour can't beat Mordaunt they can get fucked anyway. Meanwhile I think she'll be less damaging for the country than Truss, so I'm hedging my bets and hope Mordaunt gets the gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a country With the exception of Mordaunt and Tugendhat the candidates are all political pygmies promoted well above their level of competence by Johnson. The problem for the Tories is that they went all in for the short term boost that Johnson gave them and ignored the inevitable medium to long term decline of their party and now they're set to reap what they have sown. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely this. Not only intellectual lightweights and sycophants, but also he massively skewed the party to the right, the Overton window has now also shifted as aresult, meaning Starmer has to pretend Brexit doesn't fundamentally fuck us over and always appears in front of two union jacks. Same with the GOP in the US following Trump (and previously Reagan). The drift always seems to head to wards the right in anglophone countries for some reason.

Gemmill 35571 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) Aye I'm working in the assumption they'll be as bad as each other. We've already seen Mordaunt lying about a lie she told the other day in a quite slick, polished way. At least Truss looks like a grade A dope when she gets put on the spot by an interviewer.

Craig 6321 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 While I reckon Truss would be easier for Labour to defeat, she's the nearest to a continuation of the Johnson ticket IMO and I can't lose sight of the fact this country cannot afford another 2½ years of this fucking shambles. Tugendhat or Badenoch would offer the most radical change, but realistically they not going to survive the next 3 rounds. In their absence I think Mordaunt provides the best opportunity for realistic short-term change. Sunak, Truss & Braverman would all be fucking disastrous. As I've said before, it's like having to decide which life-threatening illness you'd prefer to have. Utterly depressing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
