[Politics] Next PM (proper poll).

[Dorset Seagull]

Has anyone found out what the question is yet?

 

[portslade seagull]

Rishi Sunak would step in

 

[WATFORD zero]

Rishi Sunak would step in

Given your unstinting support for Johnson for the last 5 years, you can probably understand my trepidation at leaping in to support your second choice

 

[Change at Barnham]

Unfortunately The Sun, Telegraph, Express, the Daily Mail and Sky News won't allow a Labour win.

Whatever Murdoch and his mates want, they get.

Want/think/need?

As if your answers to each of those questions would be different from one another

Your views on my potential views are irrelevant, I was simply asking the question.

Some may want a Labour term, NEED A Labour term but believe it is not yet possible.

There are many permutations, hence the simple question.

Sometimes, one can overthink things.

More likely to be Lab /SNP

if the Libs have enough seats to hold the balance of power they'll turn right again.

I doubt it if you've read any of the books by Liberal Democrats from the period. They won't make that mistake again.

Would probably still be a Conservative government, as they’d have a new leader and go for their traditional rebrand.

That’s what I think would happen.

What I would want to happen is a Green Party government.

The best I could hope for would be some form of coalition excluding the Tories. I really wouldn’t be picky so long as they were removed from power.

Ees complicated.

I would have agreed with that ten years ago but do these organisations have much traction these days? Apologies if I haven't been keeping up but I though the working class use meme-selected online echo chambers on their phones for the bulk of their information these days.

Well, thank you for asking the question on behalf of others. I like a bit of altruism. Very socialist.

FPTP. Isn't that the one the country voted pretty overwhelmingly not to change?

No. 13m voted no out of 45m registered voters. I wouldn’t call less than 1/3 of voters overwhelming. 26m didn’t bother to vote.

 

[Knocky's Nose]

Whatever the question, I've been Conservative my whole life.

I've totally lost confidence in the lying arses and BJ & Moggo make me ashamed to be British. We have become a joke to the world.

I will be voting tactically against the Conservatives at the next election. I don't want them anywhere near the running of our country.

Makes me sad and disappointed to say that, but I've had enough.

Ta.

It goes hand in hand with an acceptably low level of self-importance, which I feel we share in the content of the majority of our posts.

No. 13m voted no out of 45m registered voters. I wouldn’t call less than 1/3 of voters overwhelming. 26m didn’t bother to vote.

So 39M out of 45M felt absolutley no desire to change it then. That's pretty conclusive!

Labour are at least 2 elections away from winning even with the current mob in charge

And if PR had been used they would still have been last past the post.

Only 6 million voted in favour of PR if my rudimentray maths are correct 13 million versus 6 is a landslide, even if there are 26 million who simply don't care.

Why is that then? Corbyn not up to it, do you recon?

You can only speak for yourself, remember. My views on my own self-importance are my business.

The biggest issue is the lack of opposition. Kier did initially seem like he was going to make a difference but his impact has slowed over the past 12 months

I think he has got a lot better over the last 12 months.

Apart from Covid Passports.
