FabSwingers.com forum: Rory Stewart - A tory who the public could vote for?

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

Considering all the candidates are promising the moon on a stick, Rory Stewart has surprisingly made a case of being realistic about our situation

Isn’t it a shame that he won’t be the next leader, and we are going to end up with Prime Minister who is a detestable cunt.

The tory membership are pretty useless when it comes choosing a leader, but then again so are the labour party, they are a bunch of dumb arseholes too.

What do you think?

Realism?

The Tory Party hasn't done realism for four years.

"Brexit!"

But what about-

"Brexit!"

Farage has them utterly spooked.

Not really sure one can call someone weak who worked as he did in Iraq in the time following the overthrow of Saddam..

The voice of reason and sanity appears to be what the Conservative Party is NOT looking for.

A kamikaze pilot is the order of the day.

Bring it on - the sooner he or she tries, the sooner the Government will collapse and the sooner there will be a General Election.

The opposite,nice well mannered politics will put Corbyn in number 10.Boriis will probably get in because he is the most likely to beat Corbyn in a general election,he will not be elected because of Brexit alone but most of you are to obsessed to see the big picture.

had this convversation.... the labour party and the conservative party have the same problem...

who their "base" will vote for and what the "general public" would for at the moment are polars apart....

he is way too reasonable for this party at this time..... they are going to need the shock of being "humbled" for them to change

Who ever is the next leader will be so for a very short time unless the idea of proroging Parliament becomes the norm and we can settle into a nice, comfortable dictatorship.

If Rory Stewart remains a Tory he should wait until next time, but quote frankly he is far to pragmatic and sensible to be there. He really should be in the LibDems or fully independent.

"Seems Rory got through to the 2nd round, polling in the party membership see him as second behind BJ as the moment.

I have recently joined the Lib Dems after being a virtual life long Conservative voter up until 2010.

Rory Stewart is my idea of what Conservatism is all about, but sadly the Party now appears hell-bent on out Faraging, Mr Farage and that is only going to end badly for them.

I think Boris will get in and the country will be in full-blown crisis by the winter and the Conservative Party shredded in an election not long after.

As a poster above as said - they appear to now need completely humiliating and rebuilding from the ground up. Denying the simple facts of the reality of our situation with the EU is a mirage that can last but a few moments under the next PM's watch.

Rory is 2nd to last with only a handful more votes than Sajid Javid. I think both Rory and Sajid will be eliminated tomorrow as Dominic Raab was eliminated today all of his hard Brexit votes will certainly go towards Boris Johnson's total.

I think you're being a bit hard on Rory Stewart here, he has something to offer, as he looks like the spitting image version of comedian Lee Evans, he could always do a turn as a Lee Evans impersonator at the next Tory party conference.

I see Rory Stewart as completely unelectable.

Why?

Because he wants to carry on where Theresa May left off.

He's a remainer.

Agreed both will be the next two to go. If you count the numbers, each candidate only needs 105 votes to go through to the vote by the part membership,

Boris is well ahead of that, he doesn’t need any more votes! I think Raabs supporters will go to Gove and Hunt, thereby eliminating the other two!

Meaning a head to head between BoJo and another arch brexiteer

Piss poor performance from Rory Stewart on the BBC debate tonight, he was by far the weakest candidate based on that performance. Taking his tie off made him look silly, and his weird sitting stance on his chair made him look like an overgrown praying mantis.

Gove delivered a hammer blow when he said, "Rory we've already hit the door you're talking about 3 times!" LOL

Jeremy Hunt delivered the killer Knockout blow to Rory Stewart when he said, "You are the No Brexit candidate Rory!"

Rory will now be eliminated tomorrow.

rory Stewart was the only one not towing the same tory bollocks about cutting even more tax (for the rich) while schools, police, and other services suffer, (the tories brag about record funding while their chums in the private sector plunder those nhs funds) but yes, the sooner a General election the better

Was expecting the 4 to gang up on Johnson but it was 4 tv Rory , I expect Rory to get knocked out tomorrow and possibly Javid .. Johnson and his team obviously played the try not to say anything strategy , which he did quite successfully .. Javid did well to get our next PM to agree to an independent investigation into Islamophobia in the Tory party .. The main problem for the Conservative Party is their incompetence in calling a in/out referendum with no plan for a out vote , None of those wishing to lead our country have any idea what to do about the problem they have caused , their answer to the gent from NorthernIreland about the border was staggeringly inept

The real fantasy is believing we can Leave with a deal that isn't May's deal or something very like it. The thing stopping May's deal getting through Parliament is the believe my hard line Leavers that, without the deal, we will Leave with 'no deal' and the belief by Remainers that, without the deal, there's a good chance we could end up Remaining. Once either of those two beliefs is quashed May's deal starts to look a lot more appealing to one of those sides.

Personally I don't want to Leave even with a deal but I wouldn't rule out the possibility of it happening.

it wouldn't surprise me if some of the votes yesterday that went stewarts way were designed to knock out rabb..... which would mean that Bojo is the most extreme brexiteer left.... but they didn't want stewart to do anymore damage by showing the comparisons up... so those votes went elsewher....

I think remain is more likely under Boris than Rory... I thought Rory was most likely to find a consensus and so avoid the no deal versus remain debate we seem to be heading to...

It does look like an open goal for BoJo. Which the left are foaming at the mouth over. They go on about the clown Rory, as if they would ever vote Tory whoever was leader. That debate was a circus, and proof if needed that Boris was right to miss out on the C4 one with even more balloons on board.

I think Rory Stewart lost it last night with his fellow MPs because he wasn't promising them a tax-cut to increase their take home pay . As soon as he said it I said "you've blown it there Rory lad " ..... The following question was from a lady struggling to get mental health provision and doctors appointments for the children she fostered .... I doubt this question was heard by his fellow Tory MPs and Tory members as they were still screaming obscenities at the TV at Rory's refusal to splash the cash into their pockets

Stewart totally lost it last night. He was too busy trying to disprove Boris rather than pointing out all of them are going to try and push through Mays plan.

It is only Johnson, Javid and Hunt that have waved the warning of no deal, otherwise none of them have said they would tear up May's deal. Stewart was too busy posturing and trying to outplay Boris who was already on a winning ticket.

Boris has the best chance of winning it but for a lot of his fellow MP's he is the one most likely to fuck up in office be that verbally or with some screwball policy he will make up on the hoof..

He is being over managed to stop him opening his mouth and to prevent him answering questions like last night on the Gatt 24 which he got wrong..

That won't last and the real Boris will come through, this is not the states and he is not trump..

On what grounds should he be kicked out of the party on. Or is speaking the truth as you see it now a crime in the Conservative Party. And just to be clear, what Rory Stuart was putting forward, leaving with a deal, is what the Tory Party won(ish) the 2017 General Election on and what the Leave campaign fought the referendum on.

If there really is no room for a traditional, 'one nation', unionist in the 'Conservative and Liberal Unionist' party then the party really needs to ask themselves, apart from BREXIT, what does the party stand for?

Not by great majorities, the last landslide was in the 80’s, due to the falklands.

The tories are in decline, the Cameron project could have secured the tories a better future, however this lurch to the extreme right has now polarised the electorate.

They win because the you have JC as leader. If there was a better centrist leader in the Labour Party, who could appeal to everyone then you’ll see bigger wins.

But sadly, the arsehole JC doesn’t realise his relic policies are killing all chances of redressing of the current situation.

Labour are already moving to a more central position. There's more talk of a peoples vote - Watson, McDonnal, Starmer, Thornberry even Corbyn is dancing around the issue.

Labour are using language that is more people and environmental orientated and moving away from the language that had an entirely nationalised agenda.

Nowadays it is 'private industry need to invest in greener technology' where once it would have been 'we will be buying electricity plants and will invest in them, the workers'... There is a noticeable dialling back of Labours hard left position.

I do find it amazing though that 3 years past the referendum Labour can criticise and vote Mays deal out when they still do not know they stand and actually support it. There should have been a free vote from the start.

Labour are a mess, Corbyn is a poisonous little rat. I don’t much care for the Tories, but we are stuck with them, and it is his fault. With a little help from his number 10,000 (she can’t count on her fingers) Abbott.

No matter how much the Tories screw things up, they are going to be ahead of Labour for the next ten years. Because they are not going to be able to rid themselves of Corbyn until the old cunt croaks...
