What's your strategy with Brexit?

StealthPolarBear · 30/05/2019 18:40

Oh shit I knew there was something I needed to think about before I ran.
Erm Brexit is a bad/good/mediocre idea and I definitely will/not back it

Love you to bits, my dear but could never vote conservative.
Good luck to you though.
Will you be including your Manifesto on this thread, or do you intend to keep us in suspense.

HerRoyalFattyness · 30/05/2019 18:41

I'll back you stealth
You're as good an option as any.

StealthPolarBear · 30/05/2019 18:42

My what?

StealthPolarBear · 30/05/2019 18:42

StealthPolarBear · 30/05/2019 18:43

No one mentioned a manifesto
Can I have a womanifesto?

HerRoyalFattyness · 30/05/2019 18:44

Womanifesto sounds much better.

Are you happy with children being hungry? If so give yourself one point. Are you happy with terminally ill people being found for for work? Are you happy with the N H S being sold off to American corporations? Are you happy that loads of ex service personnel are homeless? Four ticks and you are assured that thousands of people who are seemingly decent human beings will vote for you.Evil bastards all.

KeplerExoplanets · 30/05/2019 19:04

You've got my vote 👍

Theworldisfullofgs · 30/05/2019 19:07

Could you be a plant.?Pretend to be a conservative but vow to mend rather than break the country?

I'd like some education funding in my county btw.

AlunWynsKnee · 30/05/2019 19:08

Can you dance?

Theworldisfullofgs · 30/05/2019 19:12

Surely being able to dance would exclude you?

StealthPolarBear · 30/05/2019 19:20

I'm a dreadful dancer. Sort of an embarrassing shuffle

OP posts:
AutumnCrow · 30/05/2019 19:22

Do you

Dance like May
Speak like McVey
Scowl like Leadsom
Lie like Johnson
Blunder like Raab
Bumble like Javid
Slurp like Gove
Stride like Stewart
Rant like Cleverly
Moan like Malthouse
Gurn like Hunt
Giggle like Hancock

Because that's the bar they've set

HerRoyalFattyness · 30/05/2019 19:22

Can you negotiate good deals?

StealthPolarBear · 30/05/2019 19:26

I sent a pizza back at pizza express once as it had a burnt crust. They replaced it free of charge.

HerRoyalFattyness · 30/05/2019 19:33

Well you are definitely the best person to handle brexit!

ForalltheSaints · 30/05/2019 19:37

I'm not.

Though this leadership contest has created a first. I have agreed with IDS about something. He suggests that a candidate should have 10 or 15 MPs support to be nominated.

drspouse · 30/05/2019 19:38

Could you be a plant.?
Certainly you'd have more brain than several candidates if so. Maybe a Venus fly trap.

Katastrophy · 30/05/2019 19:40

I'll vote for you Stealth. You're not Esther McVey are you? If so I am afraid my vote is rescinded

PickAChew · 30/05/2019 19:41

You'll have to come out from under cover, though, Stealth or else who will know that you're running?

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 30/05/2019 19:42

I’ll back you Stealth. Although not a lot of good it will do you from over here in the colonies.

StealthPolarBear · 30/05/2019 19:45

I'm definitely not Esther mcvey :)
Right, where do I register and when do I start? Do I need a dbs check? Hair cut probably.

OP posts:
HerRoyalFattyness · 30/05/2019 19:48

Meh, don't worry about a dbs check.
