To think that Liz Truss as PM will mean a Labour government?

I am no fan of this so-called Conservative government (thanks to Brexit and lockdowns, both of which I detest). So I suppose I'm a lifelong centre-ish Conservative with a desire not to have a bunch of loony lefties in control, but with no real political home at the moment.

Given a choice between Truss and Sunak, I would have to choose Sunak. I know, though, that it will end up with Truss as PM.

AIBU to think this will mean a Labour government and years in the political wilderness for the Conservative party?

Fingers crossed we get a Labour government. Truss and Sunak are two self absorbed turd-hats with no regard for the public good. The conservative party make me want to chew off my own arm frankly.

Thank fuck for the left. Ever preferable to the right

SizzlerFizzler · 26/08/2022 20:19

Truss or Sunak, doesn't really matter. The fast approaching epic financial shitstorm will guarantee a Labour win in the next election.

Thank Christ.

Happy to see the Tories in the wilderness permanently. They have fucked the UK in pursuit of their UKIP wet dreams. I loathe every one of them.

Loony lefties who don't know what a woman is!

I think you are overestimating peoples intelligence. The Tories will pull something out the bag to win another election.

Wowitshot · 26/08/2022 20:21

God, let’s hope so.

Pumperthepumper · 26/08/2022 20:22

Hope so!

Agreed.

I honestly can't see this. The only way the Conservatives could win another election is if the Labour party are seen to be even more of a clusterfuck than they are.

Really hope so - Labour landslide.

SommerTen · 26/08/2022 20:24

I would not vote for Liz Maggie Truss.
Or Rishi Twelve Homes Sunak.
Sorry.

Sally99 · 26/08/2022 20:25

Yes, sadly I think Truss means a labour government

Maybe they’ll stop fucking over the general public to line their pals’ pockets? That would be intelligent.

DashboardConfessional · 26/08/2022 20:27

I don't care who it is as long as it's not this shower of shits. I will be voting tactically.

l think your underestimating it. Truss will just pile on more shit. Like tax cuts for a broken economy😂

Yep, l think Labour will win. Anyway it’s part of a political cycle. A party never stays in power for ever. And this lot are really bad.

Sadly however bad this government appears, is the opposition gets in, things will degenerate.

Sadly however bad this government appears, if the present opposition gets in, things will degenerate. Starmer is at least sane, which however is more than could be said for the barmy party he leads. And if they are in with the SNP then…oh dear!

SaintHelena · 26/08/2022 20:31

Yes , labouyr for the next election if Truss wins

Justcallmebebes · 26/08/2022 20:32

Be careful what you wish for. I despair at all political parties atm and don't know what the answer is but I'm not sure it's Starmer

Sadly for some people there is no limit to the amount of Tory ineptitude and corruption that they are prepared to tolerate.

They'll just keep licking those Tory boots.
