To think truss will be a disaster for uk?

[Ilovemycatalot]

All the polls say she is ahead of sunak but I’m dreading her getting into power. Can anyone think of any positives as I’m struggling. I’m not that keen on sunak but given the choice I’d much rather him.

Normally I’d think that a general election wouldn’t be necessary and that we’ve had too many in the last few years.

The last 2 mid term PMs who ducked an election to reinforce their mandate lost the subsequent general election.

These are the fuckers who subverted parliamentary democracy and wanted a faux-presidential system, so fuck em.

At this point in time, we have a ruling party that has no mandate for the changes in direction it's made since it's election. In fact rather the opposite. How many manifesto pledges have been broken ?

Have you all heard of the political movement Enough is Enough?

just who I was about to link 🙂

Well Truss said she’d make immediate decisions about energy bills if elected, both for the short term and long term.

I don’t think reversing the National insurance rises will make much difference though.

Am I mad for thinking Truss may be a better alternative to Sunak? I just don’t know.

Deciding to do fuck all is still a decision

I'm assuming you can also tie your own shoelaces. Both instances require the same level of brainpower.

Truss is - literally - a lieutenant for Boris.

And Sunak betrayed BJ in the 11th hour. When he suddenly decided he couldn’t support Boris anymore. What he thought he was ok before that then ?
The same man who furloughed millions of fit and healthy people, and then stated more recently he didn’t agree with having full on lockdowns.
Yet didn’t say a word when he was in government.

You’ve really swallowed the Truss Koolaid, haven’t you?

Betrayed? This isn't some over the top drama. Sunak did what was best for Sunak just like Boris does what is best for Boris and Truss does what is best for Truss. They have no true loyalty beyond themselves. Hell, the only reason Boris didn't lose the confidence vote was because the people in cabinet wanted to keep their jobs under him. They only turfed him out when it became apparent that keeping him would likely cause many of them to lose their seats in any future election. They are fundamentally selfish.

Even now, Boris supporters think that Truss is just a sacrificial stand in, put there to fail so that Bojo the Clown can be brought in again before the next election when the public have forgotten what a terrible leader he was and might vote for a party under him again.

Who knows who would be better out of the two? We will never actually know will we..
I was hoping for a GE but that’s unlikely isn’t it?

What keeps hitting me this weekend is that we're about to have the most woefully inadequate Tory PM this side of 2009 (lowering the bar ever further). And it has all been decided by less than 160,000 people, from a population of roughly 60 million people.

Don't let anyone gaslight you into thinking this is democratic. It's a fucking coup. Another one.

I agree , spot on

I quite like her. Looking forward to the tax cuts, the state is too big and too many people dependent on handouts.

A lot of ' handouts' are given to people that work.

Sounds great when you hear yourself think it, doesn't it?

Of course, what would be really helpful would be to ask why exactly so many people in this country are "dependent on handouts".

Maybe the answer isn't as glib and mean-minded as you'd prefer it to be

Oh no she gets worse . Apparently Truss wants to reform workers rights , ie make them worse than they are.
And Kwasi Kwartang is allegedly going to be chancellor!

Well that was part of the reason for leaving the EU after all. Those damn little workers and their rights: don't they know they exist to serve.
