A Political Thread pt. 2

[General Melchett]

The Tory MP vote is meant to be indicative and so if Sunak wins that comfortably and members went against that and voted in Johnson then there would surely be some pretty significant fallout amongst MPs and with the wider public.

Somehow managed to make me think he's an even bigger twat than I originally thought... The guy literally has no redeeming qualities. He arrogant, stupid, lying, condescending, man-child. A perfect example of a talentless twat who has had everything handed to them and thinks they are great as a result. I used to work with someone who called him "My boy Mogg" as if somehow they had anything in common. Some Tory voters are just ******* insane.

So Badenoch backs Sunak. Surprising and may raise doubts about Boris having reached 100.

Mild relief with the Italian government ministers. The only nuts are the pro-fascist PM, the pro-Putin racist deputy PM and a nutty interior minister/ home secretary. Finance and foreign policy reportedly fairly moderate and pro-EU. Very surprising. I wonder if they looked at the UK and thought they'd better dial it back a bit to try not to spook markets.

Rishi and Boris apparently are having a meeting right now.

Is it just me or are Johnson's underwear showing over the top of his trousers, revealed by his untucked shirt...? God that man is such a tosser.

Tories on form though. Every time you think they can't go worse, they do. I thought Johnson would be the bottom after May's disastrous time but nope, then comes Truss and now we have the only PM to have ever been convicted of a crime whilst in office, someone who could very well lose his seat in a month, as potential PM again just over a month after being forced out... Are Tories playing "Be the biggest shits possible" bingo or something? Every single worst first they are setting right now. That party needs to be utterly destroyed.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Yeah something looked off there. Either his shirt is tucked into his undies or it's some weird stuff.

There seems to be a huge disconnection between the established MPs and the membership of the party and the handful of loons they have gotten elected.

 

[Which Tyler]

I'm kinda hoping for a return of PM Johnson - surely that would kill the tories for a generation, and possibly even as an extant party.
You'd think they'd already be buried for a generation, but I wouldn't bank on it being anything longer than 1 GE, the slippery bastards

Tory leadership: How secure is the online vote?

There are concerns about security if the Tory leadership is decided by an online ballot of party members.

www.bbc.co.uk

So if it comes down to members voting.

Reportedly there are 1600 members living abroad and don't even have to be British nationals who can vote, as long as they paid their £25 and registered 3 months before the ballot.

And one was reportedly registered as a non-existent person and someone's pet tortoise. . .

How the **** is that allowed to happen? Bloody Tory party rules. Need a general election after this and change of rules.

And listen to this racist apparent Tory party member:

The racists were out in force yesterday on LBC. One other caller claimed Runak couldn't run the country because he was Hindu and that it wouldn't have Christian values.

The underlying tone that he wasn't white and claimed he would stop Christians following their religion in the UK

The "Christian values" lot wind me up more than most because their hypocrisy is so staggering. You know those that espouse "Christian values" do not actually follow any of them. Taking care of the stranger, loving thy neighbour, turning the other cheek etc.

This is pretty much the extent of how much these people follow Christian values:

 

[Bada-Bing!]

It's the typical conflation of ethnicity and nationality from these racist Tory party members. Rishi is of Indian ethnicity but can't be British nonsense. Whilst Bojo, who was born in America, but white and lies through his teeth is British and will be a much better PM and all is forgiven in their eyes.

That's why it shouldn't go to the Tory members to vote this time. They did enough damage the last time voting on form and not any substance.

You know the Tories have been extra bad recently when Jeremy C*nt looks like the most reasonable man in the room

[Ragey Erasmus]

Tories being a bunch of spineless hypocrites and completely flipping their views within the space of 2 months? Who would have thought... The party really has no shame any more.

If the Tory party brings back Boris Johnson, it really will be fit only for a straitjacket | Andrew Rawnsley

He, more than anyone else, more even than herself, is culpable for the catastrophe of the Truss premiership

Good article from Andrew Rawnsley.

The underlying tone that he wasn't white and claimed he would stop Christians following their religion in the UK

This is the same caller in the video I posted above. Claiming the LBC presenter is twisting his words when he clearly states that most Tory party members like him would vote for Boris over Rishi because they want someone who reflects them.

 

[General Melchett]

This is where the problem lies. Tory MPs claim that their party is a broad church but the Tory membership isn't broad at all and merely represents right wing extreme nationalists and racists.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Boris can't be sent out for PMQs. It'd be total chaos.
