It will get a lot worse of she stays in control. They knew they will loose so will go for all they can get and ruin the county in the process... Then they probably will go and live the high live in some mansions in Europe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a pointless comment. Realistically peoples votes are strongly influenced by the leader of the political party. If she was in charge at election time I strongly believe the there would be a few less people voting conservative...dont you,?

Effectively Hunt has already replaced er - they now have the home secretary resigned and Chapps from the Rishi camp is in - basically there has been a coup - everything she wanted to do has been reversed and she is being replaced with Rishi's "mainstream" cabinet. She just has the name but none of the functions. the 1922 Committee can replace her immediately if they want - but the truth is the Tories can't form a cabinet or pick a PM - but they don't have to wait, she has already been sidelined on everything she wanted to do.

Truss is still currently UK Prime Minister ,but She doesn't seem to have the confidence of the Conservative party and She could very well lose her job on the near future and its possibly that Hunt may take over as PM or even Boris may get the job again . The Conservative party is in turmoil at the moment , but there hasn't been a coup and Truss is till PM (Coup "a sudden, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government.")

Popular Post Bluespunk Posted October 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, Mac Mickmanus said: You must be thoroughly enjoying all this turmoil truss is everything I said she was during the leadership campaign. Incompetent, clueless about policy details and unable to heal the divisions in the party. She spent months promoting her tax cut blah blah blah despite this policy being exposed as unworkable by economists and members of her own party. And when the budget imploded in her face she threw the chancellor, who had argued against some of the proposals in the budget, under the bus to save her own worthless skin. She has been an unmitigated disaster as pm and has given the opposition a real opportunity of overturning a 70 plus majority. Am I enjoying it, no. The turmoil of this inept incompetent’s premiership is hurting the country as a whole and she needs to go. The tories are divided and, it seems, incapable of forming any type of coherent governance while their internal civil war rages on. The reality is they are not fit to govern and the sooner an election occurs the better for everyone.

bendejo Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 While she's not as bad as the US's Sarah Palin she is making the same mistakes: just because someone can manage to get on the ballot or actually obtain a position of authority does not mean they have the wherewithal for the job. By her body language and facial expression these days I think she has figured that out about herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
