I’m sure your experience and expertise in data collection and analysis will be greatly appreciated. You are funny. The slightest bit of criticism and you resort to petty little digs.

Having been involved in local council, I can assure you 160000 members did not choose our candidate for MP. The system simply does not work like that. Someone does not appear to know the difference between Party MPs selecting a unanimous winner and the members of a political party who did not therefore need or be required to vote. The leader of any party needs the backing of MPs to get their legislation through the house, not the vote of the party members!

The economy is already in recession, 8 million people in the UK can’t afford regular meals, the NHS is collapsing ( before winter), mortgage interest rates are climbing, electrical power isn’t guaranteed through the winter, schools are running out of money, GP waiting times are over two weeks, getting an NHS dentist appointment is near on impossible, industrial action is increasing, leveling up never happened, ‘sunny uplands’ can’t be found. And they s week’s Prime Minister is warning of hard times to come, seemingly unaware that for many millions ‘hard times are already here’. Where do you get 8 million cannot afford regular meals from? don't quote the Guardian if this nonsense is from there. You seem to revel in a downturn in the economy and NHS waiting lists. Do you really think Sir what's his name and his box ticking lick spittles would do any better? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"But members of Conservative associations as well as local councillors said they were “delighted” by how the contest played out. Tom Herman, from Hoveton, who is deputy chairman of North Norfolk Conservatives, said that North Norfolk Conservative MP Duncan Baker, who backed Mr Sunak, “consults very widely in the constituency – not just among Conservative Party members – and listens to those views and makes an informed decision on who to back for leader”. “That to me is equally democratic,” Mr Herman said. “He really has his finger on the pulse of the constituency.” "Roy Aldcroft, a Conservative councillor at Shropshire Council, said: “I’m very pleased it has been sorted out, that we will now have a clear path to sort out the many problems that we will be facing this winter. “The fact that we did not get an opportunity to vote, I’m sure some members were quite upset about that but to be quite honest we need to put the country first.” Carole Jones, a Conservative councillor for Dorset Council, also said: “I’m quite pleased we didn’t have a vote,” adding she is “more than happy” with the outcome. “If our MPs do not get behind Rishi (Sunak) now, when we come up for election, people like us will be mullered,” she said before telling them to “get their bloody act together”. Ramji Kanji Chauhan, deputy mayor of Harrow, said he agrees that the quick leadership process has been better than going to a vote among members. “With a vote, it goes on for a long time, we make the country unsettled,” he told PA. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Campbell, leader of Kensington and Chelsea council, said: “I’m absolutely delighted that Rishi is going to be prime minister. “I think we need stability now,” she said, adding that the turbulence has been difficult for councils who need “clarity” so they can plan. On Mr Sunak, Mrs Campbell said he is “sensible”, “clever” and “decent”, adding: “It is quite nice to have a grown-up back in control.” Edited October 25, 2022 by DezLez Additional quotes added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
