That is entirely Cameron’s fault. He opened Pandora’s box by dangling the referendum in front of them

I shudder to think Cruella Braverman was an actual candidate for the Tory party leadership

General elections, in order to finally allow some levelheaded people to take the reigns of the country?

I don’t think a general election would get rid of that senile old man known as the king.
Perhaps we could just hope Starmer can take the reins?

FIFY. Obviously Labour would be worse. We’ll find out today during the battle between a woman who’s out of her depth on a damp pavement and a bloke who’s just damp.

Your country has been a bit of a laughing stock since a while. Now, it is facing real hardship because of the horde of lunatics who have taken charge of the asylum. But still, you chose to back them rather than the opposition? I thought that you stated earlier in the thread that if there was a GE right now, even you would vote for labour. Did I misread this?

I don’t pretend to know the ins and outs of politics in England, but looking from the outside in, anyone not being in the oil business him-/herself, or otherwise benefitting directly from the government’s current measures must be wishing for them to leave, no?

Why “obviously”?

Because it is a post by @Klopptimist! - he is playing to the fact that many on this board expect him to say or think that Labour would do worse.

@the last few posts. I’m not being entirely serious. Labour may or may not be worse. So they are schroedinger’s socialists.

We’re currently a pantomime dame in a Greek tragedy.

It’s all they have left. They had their extreme right takeover, stole from poor to give to rich, they got their Brexit, denigrated refugees and other vulnerable people. Now clinging to power by finger nails hoping that the tabloids will save them with a pathetic ‘war on woke’

Greatest opportunity to eviscerate the government and the leader of the opposition starts with a shit joke. Shit government, zero opposition. Yeah, probably actually Labour would be worse. That’s like saying that Plague is worse than Anthrax.
