Not that this is of great importance, but I do quite fancy Penny Mordaunt. :shrug:

Can somebody explain to me why it's a good thing in Britain that there are fewer "white men"?

And i don't know why some are getting in a tizzy over this leadership race. Yeah it's something to discuss but Nothing meaningful will change. Both Labour and Tory are neo liberal puppets. Our system is owned by the Rothchilds(International banking)

It's not. Everyone is equal. No one group is better or worse than any other. A community is not better or worse than any other due to a lack or abundance of any other group; it may be less interesting I suppose, but it is no better or worse. There are many ways to judge a society, but characteristics we cannot control shouldn't be one of them.

That said, in the context of this discussion, it is generally no bad thing that a governing party or organisation is broadly reflective of the society they serve. So whilst I think the constant references to skin colour are often unhelpful, it is worthy of note here perhaps.

And yes, identity politics is divisive, which is why I have do little time for it.

Pleased that Zahawi has been eliminated but disappointed that Hunt has. I think he would have been a good choice, especially as he was not a cabinet member, hence "untainted" when Johnson met his demise.

Because as you keep banging on about, Britain is not a country of just white men so our leadership should reflect that

They are all tories, in it for themselves

Penny Mordaunt is only concerned with looking in the mirror . She would shoot her grandmother if it got her power , utterly ruthless horrible tory . Low tax , low state and all that bollocks .

Sunak is a snake as well .

Jeremy Hunt when Health Secretary had huge interests in private health companies

He's a snake

All the Tories are snakes

Bravo Delmbox. So it's not the best man or woman for the job then?

I'm not really into the Labour/Tory pantomime that you seem to love and really believe in. Brexit aside there's little between them. Having said that didn't a lot more Labour MPs do prison time for fraud? I read it on here the other day so it must be true.
Is Tony Blair a snake with all his war lies and money making endevours?

Ypur personal opinion of Boris is irrelevant to the point that Delmbox made.
I have my issues with Boris and the fake Conservatives currently running the Tory party.
But Boris is a highly gifted brain and won a landslide GE, who are you to argue with that? he essentially had to quit because some gay guy groped another man, such is the wokeness of politics today.

“A highly gifted brain” :hehe:. If you’re the type who is impressed by verbose, rambling, deceitful and self indulgent wordplay maybe you could think that, but you’re missing the point. Johnson didn’t have to go because “some gay guy groped another man” , it was because of how he dealt with the fall out from some gay guy groping another man as the line about what Johnson knew and didn’t know changed almost by the hour over a period of days until in the end, this “highly gifted brain” had got himself into a position where his defence became that he had forgotten something he’d been told concerning Mr Pincher - this after, not for the first time, Cabinet members had been sent out to meet the media to maintain a line that had, in one case, changed while they were doing the media rounds.

Come on though, it’s not Johnson’s brain that really pushes your buttons is it. He’s a fine figure of a man (well compared to some of us he is) and that mane of golden hair! He’s almost Aryan isn’t he! The sort of “beautiful” native Briton (well Yank in his case) you were getting so excited about in another thread - no cross breeding there eh!

Johnson was the best person to lead the Tories in the election. He's since proven himself not to be the best person to be PM.

Is it just my personal opinion? Well let's see.

He was running increasingly bad numbers in polling, with the majority of people wanting him out by the end.

In a vote of confidence, he narrowly won but the majority of his own backbenchers wanted him out. He had enough ministers to get him over the line, but within weeks 50+ of them had resigned - even ones that he had appointed hours earlier!

So yeah, I'm pretty ok with my personal opinion on this one.
