Current Affairs The Conservative Party

[tsubaki]

May is inept in every way. I do not support her in any way. She's the weakest PM since probably the 60s.

Labour should be winning the next election by a landslide. With Corbyn I think they'll lose.

Thats it in a nutshell though; people admit that May is useless, an abject failure and yet "well, I wont vote for Corbyn though". Its like finding yourself on a volcanic island that is about to blow itself to smithereens but refusing an evacuation flight because you don't like the in-flight meal.

 

[PhilM]

She’s surviving this lads, I’ve spoken to people.

Teressa 2019 is on.

Odds of her surviving have gone from 1/8 to 1/16 and being axed is 13/2 from 9/2.

The issue isn't the electorate. The issue is Corbyn convincing the voters he would be a competent negotiator, and wouldn't raise the tax burden for people on fairly modest income.

You can blame voters all day but all that does is alienate even more against Corbyn.

 

[OnlyBlueWillDo]

You seem to be flip flopping between the two positions though , in an almost Johnson type manner .

I’m not flipping nothing, I think I’ve made it clear why I’d like Boris as PM.

Of course the issue is the electorate. At what point do people look at the mess our leaders have made of this world and say "you know, perhaps we shouldn't vote for this scum".

Yeah but it’s because he won’t take any EU nonsense and he’ll help labour to a win , so you think he’ll do a good job but then lose an election ? I think he’d do a terrible job but who knows who he’d get on in the election I mean Brexit won

 

[Tubey]

Going to guess at 236 votes for May.

[dannyboy]

Just look at the absolute state of them. The country in turmoil and they're sat around banging the desks.

I think you could tell by the reaction that she got less than she thought

All over it.
