Yes please and would like Labour to pledge switching to PR when they win. It has its problems but something has to change on how we elect governments

They probably wouldn't. That wasn't actually the question of the thread though.

No change really, they've been like this for the past 12 years.

Everytime something happens, all the endless sleaze, nepotism, self serving behaviours, ruining the country etc, people are up in arms. But at the next GE the money comes in behind the Tories, because they represent the interests of the billionaires and corporations, they have slick campaigns, slander everyone else, and people vote accordingly.

Every single party is poison right now in today's World, including the Scottish SNP.

Putin needs to fire off a nuke somewhere to get all UK parties to Unite together and fight to get the UK back on track,

No party has the UK at interest or they would work more together for a better country.

Yes - although are Labour really likely to get a majority?

Or end up with a coalition that would require granting the SNP another referendum?

But in the same way that the prospective PM candidates should be wary, so should Labour. If it takes more than 2-3 years to sort the mess out, the popular vote will soon migrate to the opposition

Not at the moment,the money involved in a general election could be better used elsewhere.

Let the dust settle on the current fiasco.

Besides if labour do get in it's going to take fucking year's to sort out the mess.

By then everyone will be turning on labour then the Tories will get back in and we are back to square one again!

I heard on the radio a bunch of Tory MP's complaining about "How were they going to win the next election?" That was the main point of their argument.

Not a single one said,"How can we serve the electorate better ?"

Now their best idea is to make Boris PM again!

After all the lies and shameful behaviours they think he is the best option.

"No, just get Boris back and let him get on with the job."

To quote myself from another thread...REALLY!!!!!

Boris Johnson is a liar. He misled parliament. He oversaw corruption. His policies led to tens of thousands of excess Covid deaths. He was convicted of a crime in office. He signed a Brexit deal he hadn’t read. He ignored warnings about a known sex pest and appointed him. He was clearly a compromised security risk who partied with ex KGB agents. He ignored obvious covid rules of his chief advisor and even defended him. He allowed and attended parties while everyone else was in covid lockdown. He gave £100k of public money to his mistress. The list goes on and on!

Then there’s the other guy...

Sunak’s wife avoided £millions in tax falsely claiming non-dom status (married to the man who sets tax policy). His wife had two companies that received £millions in govt support during covid and were then wound up so they did not have to pay back anything. He decimated the freelance/self employed IT industry paving the way for large outsourcing companies to gobble up contracts, including the company his father-in-law and wife owns. His ill-conceived covid support packages allowed fraud on an unprecedented level that will never be recovered losing the public purse £billions. He broke US and UK law by still holding a Green Card that requires sworn allegiance to the USA (not a good look for the 2nd most important UK minister). He was part of the banking team that helped to cause the 2008 financial meltdown hugely enriching himself in the process.

Neither are fit for government and certainly not the top job!

"To quote myself from another thread...REALLY!!!!! "

Yes, really.

We knew what Boris was like before he was elected and he stayed true to form so he is a known quantity. On a macro scale the calls made were not too bad given the challenges, and he is a reasonable communicator. He is also a narcissistic lying tosser who has an extremely poor grasp of detail so if he gets back in there needs to be a team around him to mitigate that. In terms of COVID, the government shouldn't have discharged elderly people to care homes without testing and shouldn't have locked down as hard (if at all) but Labour were clamouring for even more restrictions at the time.

As for Rishi, his legacy is the highest tax burden for 70 years. Fiscal drag by freezing tax allowances and other stealth taxes. If taxes are needed (and really, the state should be smaller therefore reducing tax) then the tax system should be open, fair and simple. Rishi pretended to empathise with the common people whilst shafting them.

Under Labour it is highly likely that union demands will be agreed to in terms of wages therefore increasing and prolonging the period of high inflation.

So, yes, Boris performs as expected and is the best choice.

Wow ok well I respect your opinion even if I cannot remotely agree with it. I am astounded anyone could forgive Johnson for that huge list of issues he caused or was ultimately responsible for.

He should be in prison quite frankly for “corporate manslaughter” of the 000s who died in care homes due to the govt policy of moving them out of hospitals, untested for covid, and into care homes (which lacked PPE etc).
