So I am a Tory voter. Labour have been screaming for everyone to resign since Johnson got in power. Its what Labour do - they moan from the sidelines but history has taught us that they are bloody useless in power bar Blair and a new Blair isnt coming anytime soon.
So we are effectively stuck with what we have. Labour are a mess, what is a women, Raynor who is just awful and completely out of her depth. The Far Left have ruined it for Labour to get into power. Corbyn was a disgrace and all over the place. Many Labour supporters on MN stated that if Starmer was in power he would have walked it yet he has been a wet weekend.
We are stuck with Tories regardless. You can moan and whinge but unless anything comes along that is better the country is going to vote again and again for them.
I welcome a strong opposition. Labour isnt it!
The parties were shameful but even if we had an election tomorrow Boris and co would still get in with a majority almost definitely not 80 though. Dont talk about the Libs. They are hopeless.
I'm a Labour voter but I agree with all of this.
I really like Keir Starmer and I think he's a decent, principled guy but he's dropped a massive clanger over the "what is a woman" issue and just generally he's trying too hard to appeal to everyone, and in doing so, he's appealing to no one.
Corbyn destroyed the Labour party's progress and his supporters are continuing the decay. There's so much infighting no one is achieving anything.
The Tories have picked up on the fact that many women (like myself) feel politically homeless. They don't give a toss about women's rights really but right now, they're the only ones who aren't about to chuck women's rights in the bin.And that fact alone is going to win them a shedload of votes because it's such a pivotal issue.
Boris Johnson has done some dreadful things during his time as PM. Things that would have gotten any other PM sacked. But we live in Trumpian times, and nothing sticks. He's surrounded with individuals in the cabinet with principles as corrupt as his own.
This fine has come at a good time for him. No one cares about COVID any more - the threat of nuclear war distracted everyone. Given the Easter break and lack of PMQs, this will all just fade away into obscurity and he'll continue merrily guffawing onwards.
Re Sunak - he's in it for the power, not the money. I think he is desperate to be PM. And during COVID he somehow acquired a reputation for being some kind of generous uncle, giving away his own money (technically the country's money but let's not split hairs.....) so up until now people have had a bizarre affection for him. Bizarre when he's just as corrupt at the rest.
I honestly despair.
If Rory Stewart had won the Tory PM job, things would look very different right now. And I say that very much as a non-Tory voter.
