People say you shouldn't be so partisan about politics .
But after this nonsense anyone who votes tory that was a sort of acquaintance is going to be persona non grata
I can't be in the company of people who say they voted Conservative as the best option for the country.
Stop lying , you voted Conservative because you are an idiot as you have seen all this going on and still ticked the stupid box 📦
I'm not there yet but if Boris is re-elected and anybody supports him then I wouldn't be able to understand it.
I was wondering how Conservative party members could be so thick to vote for the thick Liz Truss and if the whole process was wrong. I couldn't think of any better though. The MPs get to put forward their preferred candidate(s) based on which one is most likely to save them their jobs. The party members then get to decide which one they'd rather vote for in the next election. Maybe the MPs put forward Truss as a tactical vote as in surely nobody would be so stupid as to vote for her.
Compare this with most MPs thinking that Corbyn would make Labour unelectable but he got the younger party vote going for him. Apart from a not very good election result (which usually is of transient consequence), Corbyn was a Brexiteer and his unwillingness to provide any guidance on the referendum probably contributed to a huge and long term effect to every British person.
And if Arthur hadn't fallen off his horse, Henry VIII wouldn't have been king. There you go.
It's a huge mess and the only possible plus point is that everybody of all ages actually appreciate that they should vote and know why they're putting a cross where.

Well if they're not you can be sure something similar will crawl out of the woodwork.

This means that Sunak is the front runner. As he was Boris's Chancellor, then it lends more credibility to Sunak becoming Prime Minister in the way that Brown followed Blair. There was no talk of a general election back then, so if Sunak does become PM leader, any talk of the requirement of a GE being needed can be put to bed.

This post might have worked two months ago had the Truss Debacle not happened, and had Sunak been Chancellor for the 2019 election.

But the Chancellor is not succeeding the PM. Truss had Kwarteng and Hunt. Sunak was four (FOUR) chancellors ago.

That really is quite astonishing when you think about it.

And if you think about it some more, you might understand why so many people are calling for a general election.
Blair, Brown, Cameron and May all had only one chancellor each throughout their time as PM.

Oh I get why people are calling for a GE...its because they know that we'd end up with Labour in power. I don't see many Tories calling for a GE, for the same reason.
Its a quirk of our electoral system that we don't vote for a leader, but for a party. You can argue that people do vote for the leader, and I'd say there is some merit in that, but by and large most people vote for the party that resonates with them as individuals.

I think it was an anybody but Rishi vote, but they still managed to get him in via the back door. Watch him like a hawk, and a big tell will be if he starts pushing the great reset agenda.

And if he doesn’t?
