For me, the biggest problem with this government is that they are all career politicians, with no interest in running this country other than their own egos/greed/ambition. Johnson and Gove are prime examples of this.
Somebody once said on here, Johnson never the role of PM. He wanted TO BE prime minister. And he wanted to HAVE BEEN prime minister. He is just too lazy for the bit in between where he had to actually do the work. He wants the status of it, rather than the actual role itself.
I've met Hancock several times. My impression of him has always been "decent guy, deep as a puddle". He's clearly underqualified for the job that he is doing, but I do think at the deep heart of everything, he has genuinely cared and tried his best. In any other time, if there was no pandemic, I don't think he would have fared too badly as a health secretary. But unfortunately, it showed his limitations very quickly and that cannot be forgotten or ignored. He's not as callous as BJ, MG or DC and you could visibly see his relief over the last few months as the vaccine rolled out successfully. But he's way over his head and history will remember him for his fatal incompetence.
But it's genuinely concerning that there is still no decent opposition. I don't dislike Starmer, but he's spent the last year basically saying "I'm not JC". I don't actually know what he stands for, or what his policies are. And until he actually holds the government to account, he's proving to be useless.
I've been politically homeless for years. I live in a Tory constituency that has historically never been anything but. My last few votes have been to the green party, not because I wanted them in, but because I wanted the right to whinge about how shit the Tories are, and I felt I could only complain if I had actually voted.
We need a system where the people who are qualified for the job, get it. Not those who feel that they are entitled to be an MP just because of their social status (Rees-Mogg?!)
