Well, that headline alone put a little smile on my face.
Turns out that if you get a job as leader of a failing party, and then do nothing to fix it, you will lose subsequent elections. Gosh, who'd have thought it?
How can you fix anything when you're too busy attacking the LGBT+ community, breaking international immigrant / refugee laws, stealing privacy and civil liberty from your citizens?
They haven't been doing nothing. They have been degrading democracy.
What I mean is that he does not appear to have done anything to convince the traditional Tory voters that he has a grip on things which is entirely what he was bought in to do.
They were concerned about the economy because of Truss. Yet we are now in a recession. And no matter how many times he blames the war in Ukraine the truth is that other countries in Europe are doing better.
They were concerned that the party image is being damaged by the inhuman handling of the immigration crisis. Well their current actions haven't exactly helped their image in that regard have they?
They were concerned the brexit was not going to be dealt with. So is it fixed?
Well, your first mistake is to try and see logic behind that party's actions. What we see from them is just a constant power shift. No one is being put in charge for their ability to lead.
Well, they seem to keep on winning despite terrible policy, corruption and messing up the economic future of the country. All the parties are basket cases.
Is UK being a Make a Wish foundation for all those who want to be PM?
I don't think (sadly) they'll lose all 3 but even losing just one would be, historically, a shock. Even a decent swing to Labour in BoJo's seat would be a large concern to the Tories.
The Tory media will spin the results as a blow for Labour whatever happens.
Of course :)
Watch for surprises doe—he's one greasy-looking fuck.
