In other news:
Ukrainian graffiti artists are being asked to stop spray painting bus shelters due to the potential impact on perception of the country’s infrastructure internationally!
@Eyeswideopen69 The other benefit of PR will be to de-claw the regional Nationalists DUP, SNP, SF etc, who appear as much a part of the problem for the UK as a whole as the Tories.
@Eyeswideopen69 In answer to your question, FPTP and a divided opposition.
Pesonally, I find the Tory leadership candidate list reassuring. It suggests that Conservatism has reached the end of its evolutionary cul de sac.
I predict PR and a fractured Tory party by the end of the decade.
@JujuliaGrace They're all RW populist Boris lites.
The thing they don't understand is that for BJ, populism was just a laugh, a short cut to power.
He was an opportunist with no discernable political philosophy.
They are stupid enough to want to be taken seriously, which will be their undoing.
@MarkAPaine1970 @Rehman_Chishti He's a portrait artists nighmare.... Everything is completely out of proportion.
Consequently, he should make a fine leader of the Tory party.
@emilyhewertson That's because you believe you live in a world where privilege is intrinsically linked to impunity.
For those of us who don't share you dystopian view of society guilt equals punishemnt and innocence dresn't.
@ABridgen "He or she needs to have integrity, courage and show leadership, a real Conservative"
You missed "would demonstrate none of those qualities." from the end of that sentence.....
Fixed it now though!
What the Tory party liked about Johnson was that he managed to make venal, self-serving corruption look like a bit of fun for a couple of years.
The problem for them now is that any/all of his potential sucessors make it look like......
Well, venal, self-serving corruption.
Johnson's idea that he might remain in post as caretaker PM has all the credibility of Hanibal Lecter announcing that he might be appointed interim presenter of Master Chef.
@oflynnsocial You are an irrelevant has been.
You've had your fun done some damage and had a good laugh about it.
Now dissappear down your own poisonous rabbit hole.
