Discussion

The BJ effect ? There are still quite a few buffoon lovers for some insane reason. Then there are some that swallow the fear mongering which the Tories have ramped up this week.
Can't see Sunak welcoming Johnson's intervention last night. It will just add fuel to the fire of those wanting the Tories out....!768 said:

How far we have fallen when the right depend on delirious predictions of the future...
Is this your first election?Funny how when you look at that from the reverse perspective, very few of you original thinkers were issuing urgent warnings about Cameron based on Major's limping s
tshow. And yet, here you all are now.President Merkin said:

Starmer is about to enter the s
tshow and he hardly moves at the best of times, a limp would get him more airtime so he could pip Farage in the voter recognition stakes (F88/S87) rather than vice versa.https://forums-images.pistonheads.com/18454/202407...

Definitely enjoying the stream of hand wringing dire predictions. Very interested in the minds that ignore billions spunked on tasty contracts for mates, peerages sprayed about like confetti, endless failure in service delivery, the north shafted time & again, free wallpaper, partying through lockdown, lying to parliament, lying to the Queen, a conveyor belt of PM's, the highest taxes since the war & still finds the time to weep about the future.
You all seem very normal.

Because Labour have never been involved in peerage scandals, plundering pensions, committing acts of war and trashing employment and taxes whilst in office.
Hilarious.

With FPTP, it’s a choice between Tories and labour. That’s it. So do you want a continuation of the s
tshow we’ve been living through for the past 14 years or a chance of something new?blueg33 said:
Recent behaviour is probably a better indicator than behaviour 20 years ago. How has the recent government behaved?
You mean like the selection scandal, the 200K paid to the Welsh Labour leader...not bad for an opposition party who have had to deliver nothing. You do understand the difference between the timeline of Labour scandals...and Labour being in power. If you use those maths you learnt at school you might just find the answer you seek 
The point being Labour as a rancid as the current lot, and have the hidden loons ready and waiting to topple Starmer. That's if they haven't bankrupted us by the end of the first month.
Carlo is the genesis troll. The sourdough starter from which all other trolls are grown. Giving him the attention he craves is an error. And like all trolls, he's permanently unreasoned.

Are you about to make some novel point about previous governments?

FPTP doesn't stop voting for an alternative, it just denies it power until there's sufficient support. If people view that delayed transfer of power until after sufficient votes have accrued as a reason not to switch their votes, then there will never be any real chance of something new.With FPTP, it’s a choice between Tories and labour.

Definitely don't want Labour in, couldn't bring myself to vote for that shower. It's a shame the Cons never got it together and voted Sunak out, I am genuinely surprised as he isn't very likable and it was clear a year ago where this was headed. Centre right still makes more sense to me, or even better a genuine middle ground, but apart from protest votes for Libs, who aren't credible, or Farage, who only gets votes from loonies and flip flop voters, what is there to do? With FPTP, it’s a choice between Tories and labour. That’s it. So do you want a continuation of the s
tshow we’ve been living through for the past 14 years or a chance of something new?No, it's time to keep your heads down and ride out the storm or incoming 'it's all their fault' type statements when we get taxes hiked and government borrowing (a Labour trump card) increases. Hopefully then the purge of the utter rubbish in the conservative party will be complete, but it's of no great celebration..not even to the most vocal leftie. Whilst we celebrate the fact that Sunak and his disgusting colleagues are out, most, if not all will be quite content in private industry. Sunak himself will be laughing all the way to the bank, being on several boards and in high demand for his network. Lord Cameron, well, he'll just slink back under his stone taking the money....you see no matter what, these politicians...from Sunak to Johnson..from Blair to Clegg, from Scargill to Prestcott, from Livingstone to Balls.....they win. At our cost.
So it really doesn't matter, as none of them will ever be held to account either way.
Do they honestly not realise how stupid they look latching onto a phrase which means literally nothing in UK politics?
