Best Prime Minister in your opinion.

[Tulipsroses]

I don't know who I dislike more Rushi or Starmer. Both of them don't have the political weight of a British Prime Minister. If Rushi lacks charisma Starmer never had any. They both don't have any new ideas just repeat some old cliches. I sometimes wonder if Argentina would invade Falklands tomorrow would they have the iron lady's balls?
Anyway my question is who do you think is a leader which this nation deserves? It can either Labour or Conservative it need to be a living politician.

Rory Stewart

Kemi Badenoch.

Well the question was "who does the nation deserve?", not "best possible". 😀

[RafaistheKingofClay]

Yvette Cooper.

Kemi Badenoch.

I can't think of anyone worse. She is one of the most far right MPs in the Commons and she has zero compassion.

Paul Edington

I’m assuming you’re joking about the ‘weight of a British PM’ given the recent presence of Boris Johnson in the role.

Rory Stewart

Seconded. The best PM we never had.

[AdamRyan]

Really hard question.
I wish Theresa May had been given a better opportunity, I think she would have been good if the party weren't totally ungovernable.

Charles Kennedy.

But tbh I love Keir Starmer and have very high hopes for him (and his front bench)

[restingrichface]

Thirded for Rory Stewart

Depends what you mean by best.

I agree with many of Starmer's policies, and think he has done a good job of pulling Labour back from the brink post-Corbyn, but I agree he lacks charisma.

I disagree with 90% of Kemi Badenoch's beliefs, but I think she is personally impressive and charismatic

I disagree with 99.99% of everything Michael Grove says and does, and he has little charisma, but he is supposed to be a more competent minister than most.

So what is most important - policies, charisma or operational competence?

[HotGirlInHell]

Rory Stewart would have been wonderful; informed, thoughtful, strategic, very human.

I don't want a leader with superficial fizz and media-friendly hair. I want a leader of a party with costed, realistic, fair plans, that they can deliver, that will at least attempt to undo the awful damage the Tories have done to this country. That's Labour for me. If the leader is 'dull' for the TikTok generation, so what?

Exactly this.... after the "charisma" of Johnson I'll be quite happy for someone who is normal, professional, even if that is a bit dull. The job is about leading rhetorical country, not an audition for I'm a Celebrity

Yep
I think Starmer has also demonstrated his competence by turning the party around from Corbyns anti semitic, momentum infested left wing nightmare to a credible opposition with serious policies in 4 years.
I think he's the right person to deal with the mess we are currently in.

[Einevinefine]

Keir Starmer or Yvette Cooper

[TheCountIsPale]

Tony Blair - literally changed the lives of children and families for the better.

I was a Rory Stewart fan, but find him insufferable on his podcast with the equally insufferable Alistair Campbell. He stood down for London mayor too which smells fishy to me.

Paul Edington

The only reasonable choice.
