Jacob Rees-Mogg - Prime Minister?

[weresquirrel]

I know he is very posh and comes across as old fashioned and a bit quirky/eccentric, but he came across very well on Question Time, made some good points and seemed to understand a lot of the problems people are going through, was articulate and not shouty.

I know a lot of people will hate him simply because he is "posh", rich and old fashioned but would he make a good Prime Minister? I think he would.

Is that you Jeremy?

came across very well on Question Time, made some good points and seemed to understand a lot of the problems people are going through

No he didn't, he just regurgitated a lot of Tory lies and pretended to care and understand. Caroline Lucas was the only one with any grip on reality.

If Nanny says he can and he eats all his eggy

Yes he really understands problems people are going through.

Look at his voting record.

He's a misogynistic, racist, classist, homophobe. But because he's a bit quirky and has those adorable owlish glasses, yeah, let's vote him in!

He has no v Luke about what the 'lower class's go through, his life experience if that of a extremely privileged white male who has never ever struggled

Have a look at his voting record before you decide.

No clue*

What is the evidence for him bring racist, sexist, homophobic? Other than him being public school educated which I realise in these parts equates to being an emotionally constipated fascist. I am no fan of the man twatty brexiteer that he is but I am aware of no evidence of the above crimes

Fuck, no. Are you insane? This is the danger of the 'personality politician' trend.

Look at his voting record.

He's Boris Mark II.

Clearly all you have to do to impress a certain sort of Brit is wear a posh suit, speak in a posh accent, go to the right school and have the right name - everyone then assumes you are highly intelligent and should run the country, no questions asked.

It's not the Middle Ages any more and we have moved on from feudalism.

To make it easy for people.

Just no. He is everything thats wrong about the establishment.
The mail had a piece on him, they seem to like him.

His voting record is abysmal. I can't get my head around anyone thinking he could be prime minister material

Yeah. Great choice for PM. 🤔

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

Can't bear him - he is ridiculously out of touch.

He is anti equal rights for LGBT people and, with his views on benefits, would happily push people into poverty.

He maybe the British favourite - the upper class eccentric - but a man of the people he isn't.

He seems keen to exploit his children by bribing them with toys to attend his canvassing and also appears in the Fail (today) with his family.

He's basically a privileged, right wing dinosaur.

Nothing wrong with being born into the upper classes, but it does appear that his roots rule him and that he has little concern for the poor.

We appear to have got to the point where electability is decided by whether you're funny on Have I Got News For You.

There is still a lot of cap docking in this country.
A posh accent and upbringing and they are born to rule

Agh. He is my MP. No clue about the reality of local issues. He would be awful!

No, I dislike him because he's a Tory with an atrocious voting record.
And of course the mail likes him, male, White and posh. Just the type they like to defer to.

Place marking. Sorry, but I'll forget to check voting record if I don't.

Caroline Lucas was the only one with any grip on reality

Well at least she's trying something new for her.

Oh yeah, he's a real man of the people is'nt he

Or just another posh, privileged, chinless wonder Tory boy who has never inhabited the real world and never will.
