All the metrics are down for party politics and electoral turnouts. And that's because the electoral-representative regime is acting against the demos, and the demos sense it. They haven't worked out what to do about it, and perhaps never will, but it's a very prevalent phenomenon.
No idea what you're asking.
adopt sensible policies that appeal to the centre ground. Abandon rwanda, the war on the war on motorists, drill baby drill, all the red meat stuff that is appealing to the right but turning off the middle-ground, and instead deal with these real issues in a pragmatic, grown-up, responsible manner.
I agree with you.Unfortunately, the only way of ensuring a similar cabal don't take over one of the two parties and get absolute power again is by changing the voting system, and I don't think that's going to happen
I think we need a bit of alliteration as well:More importantly, where is:
TOTAL NOISE TERROR
FUN WITH DRUGS
FUTILE NAZI BASTARD
and
ELVIS IS DEAD
?Eh? EH?
Elect Penny Mordaunt as leader - the one that Labour fear and the only Tory with a positive approval rating among voters. I'm not sure she'd win but would greatly reduce the Labour majority and possible lead to a hung parliament.
I’m not so sure he has a positive approval rating. She’s definitely a proven liar.
Her younger brother hasn't done her any favours.
I agree but it poses an interesting question: If there is a desire of the people (remembering democracy literally means 'people rule') for constitutional change but the constitution has created a monopoly of power for only two parties that have an overriding self interest to prevent change, how can the will of the people ever be implemented? Demonstrations are possible of course, but again it is in the interests of the ruling party (Lab or Cons) to ignore them and they can.Unfortunately, the only way of ensuring a similar cabal don't take over one of the two parties and get absolute power again is by changing the voting system, and I don't think that's going to happen
I'm afraid that following the 'will of the people' being acted on in 2016 and 2019, I've decided that 'the people' get exactly what they deserve, and exhausted by the level of idiocy, have simply taken on the role of bemused bystander. It's down to my kids now.
I am aware that millions of innocents have suffered and not got what they deserve and they have my deepest sympathies. Maybe next time people will be motivated enough to actually get out and vote to stop it, but I'm not holding my breath. Sorry
That wasn't my opinion: there was a survey two weeks ago looking at possible Conservative leaders (among the electorate, not members) and she was the only senior Tory with a positive rating. It was only 2% but it was lot better than Suella Braverman's minus 40.
Realistically this is the only chance the Tories have of at least stemming the bleeding, the problem is the rank and file membership are so utterly radicalised that I don’t think she’d have a cat-in-hell’s chance of winning a leadership contest over the likes of Badenoch, Braverman or anyone else on the nutter wing.
