Just wondering who everyone hopes will win??

I'm hoping for a Burnham win but as long as it's not Kenyon I can live with it.

To act in the long term rather than pursuing short term wins so they can stay in power. To try to work with other countries to make this world less of a living hell for millions of other people and many millions more other beings. It's a very big ask and would be in some ways like trying to turn the clock back but I think the human race has gone very wrong and all we do is tinker round the edges while waiting for the global crisis to worsen which will result in who knows what.

Ok if no one is saying this then you have a gap to do as suggested in your pp, you could run on it

If you don't understand that mortgage rates rose in that time directly because of Truss there's absolutely no point in discussing with you. You are just on the wind up.

PP explained quite clearly what happened. Perhaps stop badgering her?

Like I say, in the current political system it would make me unelectable.
You presumably think you can make a difference to enter politics too and I don't.

No I said the opposite. I said I’m glad politicians are there that I can vote for. Who are not Starmer / Labour.

I didn't mean you. I should have said: "One presumably thinks one can make a difference if one enters politics and I don't."

It seems that people are unrealistically impatient - when they want to protest against a government that has been in less than two years, and that inherited entrenched problems and underfunding.

I think you are correct that to make a difference makes one unelectable. This can be the result of living in a democracy. We can't keep on changing the Prime Minister - as John Major said recently.

It looks like you’re about to. Starmer will be gone if Burnham wins and maybe even if he doesn’t.

Bear in mind what this former Conservative PM said - and be careful what you wish for.

Who Burnham? Does he worry you?

John Healey has just resigned, and he is a Starmer loyalist. This appears to be careering off the rails. Times Radio is suggesting it's the biggest crisis yet. And allied to what's happening in Northern Ireland, it looks very destabilising for the Government.
